gifts. One of New York’s chicest shopping destinations; the company now owns and operates 30 stores in the United States.

The brand opened a pop-up space on the second floor of the Henri Bendel 5th Avenue flagship store, featuring the brand’s tantalizing collection of luscious chocolate truffles, five of their boldly flavored chocolate bars, and buttery sweet toffee–all of which, with the daring layers of flavor, exemplified by the chili lime and espresso truffles, are formulated to excite sophisticated palates and produce a healthy natural high, lingering finish and rich, decadent mouth feel of the finest tempered chocolate. Pure Madness has not forgotten the classics, however. They also reinterpreted (and will showcase) the beloved darks and milks in the collection, highlighted by pure, natural ingredients to create heightened indulgence.

In addition to chocolate truffles, chocolate bars and toffee, the brand also carries caramels, sipping chocolate, and seasonal peppermint bark.
