Our Story

Picture
Our journey into chocolate began over 1700 miles away in a small town in Michigan. Well, technically we did not live "in town", but in the township. In this small mining town near the Wisconsin border we developed our love for chocolate.

I consumed nearly every type and brand of chocolate ever mass produced as a child. I did have my favorites, and ones I would try to trade off for my favorites, but I did eat them all. Sacrifices, right?

As a semi-professional chocolate eater and a amateur candy taster, my childhood memories are delicious, chocolate covered moments.

Each and every chocolate flavor we make here is thoroughly taste tasted by multiple testers, before it is given two "paws up". Many flavors here need multiple tests before they are released (I personally believe the testers are just trying to get free samples). Some of our chocolates have been known to make knees buckle and hearts stop, so please use caution.

We love chocolate and would like to share our love of chocolate to the world. Chocolate is our passion, our love, and our life.

Carrie Powell is a chocolatier, certified by the Ecole Chocolat School. One of the few certified chocolatiers in America, she’s dedicated to her craft, always searching for more knowledge about chocolate and how to make hers even better. She uses and adapts her family recipes, some over 100 years old, to match the tastebuds of the gourmet chocolate lover, and to craft small batches of chocolate and caramel for everyone’s consumption.

Dennis Powell - Chocolate Artisan


Dennis is where chocolate dreams become reality. He’s our main taste tester, and he’s the artisan behind our bean to bar chocolates. After discovering this true artisan chocolate, he’s made it his goal to craft chocolates from beans that we source directly from small farmers around the world. Dennis has made it his goal to bring only the highest quality chocolates to everyone, for maximum chocolate enjoyment.

"Baby Bears" Amber and Gage

Our little helpers, who, since they are related to us, work for chocolate and hugs. Well, just chocolate. When they are not in school, these two are the janitors, maintenance, back-up cashiers and the assistants to the assistant manager. 
P.S. I truly enjoy being able to work with my children. I hope they feel the same. I am proud to show them what owning and running a business entails. I tried to teach them all the behind the scenes activities it takes for a business to run smoothly.
