Our Story

Dear Friends and Fellow Chocolate Lovers,

With your contribution, you are helping us to get the essential needs for our small but growing business! Here is how you are helping us, as we are giving your our WISH LIST! :)

​

• August rent. (We have been waiting on a plumbing permit for weeks. We have been expecting to open by now.)

 

• August Utilities...electric and water.

 

• Plumbing costs. (This is a big one.)

• A half oven.

​

• Odds and ends, such as shelving for our walls, wood and supplies for our counter, hand soap, dish soap, a new mop head, restocking of our supplies for our chocolate making. (All these little things add up!)

Your contribution gets you sweet treats and helps us to make them for you!!!
