Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Company Franchise

Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Company is a franchise for a store that offers freshly made and handcrafted chocolates.

Their first store opened in St. Louis, Missouri in 1981. Before the store was opened, the owner spent 10 years training with the best candy makers. He learned the craft of perfection in creating premium chocolates in small batches.

Some of the chocolates are still being made from recipes passed on since 1904. In 2009, they reintroduced the Mavrakos chocolate brand which was passed on from 1984 for being famous in producing chocolates only in small batches.  After 20 years, they started franchising and they had each store designed similar to the original store with each having its small kitchen to make fresh chocolates from.

Each chocolate is handmade daily in each store and this is what makes it the best chocolate. They still use old fashioned techniques using copper kettles. Caramels and Truffles are cut one by one and each is hand dipped. Every single piece is checked for perfection before leaving the kitchen. Each box of chocolates has a wax seal as a symbol of its authenticity. Their guarantee is “A Smile In Every Box”.

What’s on the menu? They have boxed chocolates. You can choose from milk chocolates, dark chocolates, Cherrie Cordials, Nuts & Caramels, and Truffles. Their Signature chocolates Marshmallow Nut Whip, Molasses Puff, and Chocolate Strawberries are among three others.

Their Premium Truffles is a favourite of customers with 12 flavours to choose from. They also have more than 50 kinds of handmade chocolates like Nonpareils, Almond Butter Toffee, and Malted Milk Balls. Another specialty is their Holiday Chocolates that are available every Christmas, Easter, and Valentine’s Day. If you want something of novelty, they have more than 400 different molds like animals, Music, Children’s, and Automotive. For those who like it sugar-free, they have those chocolates sweetened with maltitol which they say tastes as good as the others.
