s ‘ r r o e t i tt d e E L This guide is a celebration of the people behind some of the most exceptional local businesses in Boise & The Treasure Valley—the entrepreneurs, makers, and artists who have followed their passions and share a commitment to our community. The pages that follow serve as an invitation to learn more about them. It is my hope that this book will inspire discovery. Browse it, display it, share it with family and friends, but most importantly, use it. Whether you're a visitor, newcomer, or longtime local, I hope that this guide helps you engage with the people in Boise & The Treasure Valley on a deeper level, and in so doing, helps you enhance your life and enjoy our fantastic community to the fullest. Finally, I'd like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of the businesses that appear here for being part of the collective that supports this guide. It is an honor to help tell their stories, and I can't wait to share more about them online throughout the coming year. Thank you for using this guide, and when you connect with these businesses, please tell them The Scout Guide sent you! Live. Love. Local. XO,

The Chocolat Bar has been a Boise favorite for over 15 years, making fine handcrafted chocolates in their shop in downtown Boise, and now open in Eagle. Gorgeous hand painted truffles, decadent buttery caramels and a signature dark chocolate with unparalleled flavor—there is a reason The Chocolat Bar remains a favorite staple downtown.
