As far as I know, there aren't any local places to buy bean-to-bar brands like Askinosie and Dandelion. Lucky for you, though, Phoenix and the area around it boast several own bean-to-bar chocolate makers, which are super fun and informative to visit. You can also find their chocolate around town. I didn't include this in the guide because it's a bit farther away, in Chandler, but also check out local Arizona company NutWhats, a gourmet candy store that makes its own bean-to-bar chocolate.
