You know what they say: You can’t always get what you want.

And those of us who’ve been wandering about Boston’s tony neighborhoods — waiting to get into a jam-packed restaurant, shopping for the elusive perfect dress — know it’s true. Your eatery of choice is booked until next month, and when you manage to find that dress in the right size, it’s out of your price range.

Then, when all you want is a little, flawless bite of chocolate to ease the pain, you can’t even find that.

Until now. Beacon Hill Chocolates, which just opened a few steps off Charles Street, stocks the cure for what ails you. Can’t get that reservation? You’ll be happier feasting on heavenly dark stuff from Mary Chocolates of Belgium (it’s exclusive to BHC in the U.S.). The sweet summer dress came with a bitter price tag? A toffee truffle from Oregon’s Moonstruck Chocolates won’t set you back noticeably.

It’s a whole new way to get some satisfaction.

Beacon Hill Chocolates, 72b Pinckney Street, Beacon Hill (617-725-1900).
