Stuff your face with ginger lime bonbons, cranberry dragees and bars featuring beans from Ghana at a Santacruz chocolatier
Nikki Thakker
Rows of alluring bonbons greet us as we step into entisi, a boutique chocolatier that opens this week in Santacruz. Clusters of these colourful, centre-filled chocolates are perched on trays that remind us of Brainvita, a board game of marbles. Owner Nikki Thakker (inset) says, "Making them is quite an art. We create the colours in-house; the moulds give them the shine."
