A
s a father and his young daugh-
ter walk through the door of
Stargazer Fine Chocolates, the
little girl excitedly scanning the shop and
pointing to the chocolate h ippos and col-
orful tru es, John D'Onofrio looks over
with a smile and says, "That's my joy."
John's daughter, Karen, is respon-
sible for hand-crafting the many
delectable treats that fi ll the shelves of
Stargazer Fine Chocolates, but as John
says, they're really in the business of
bringing joy to the community.
"What I really think we do is spread
neighborhood and joy," John said.
Stargazer has only been open for one
year, but in that time, they've made quite
a footprint in Denver's Hale neighbor-
hood, mostly through chocolate-fi lled,
word-of-mouth accolades. And the
chocolate really does speak for itself.
What's sweeter, however, is
the unlikely tale of how Star-
gazer came to be.
