The letter read, "We are hanging up our aprons and gloves. We feel very fortunate to have had a chance to work with all of you and so many other inspiring people over the past 33 years." Chilmark Chocolates sent shock waves across the Island with their intentions to close, and on Dec. 18, they will close for good after 33 years.
