About Us
Our Story
We are a family owned and operated artisan chocolate company that trains and employees individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities. It was started by Valerie for her son, Blake, who is a young man with autism in 2013 in her home kitchen. In 2016, we moved into our shop in Jupiter Florida. Our purpose is to offer delicious chocolate confections while also helping individuals with special needs. We accomplish this two ways: By providing individuals with developmental disabilities training and by providing employment opportunities in some circumstances. In addition to training, each participant has the opportunity to engage in meaningful and purposeful experiences with an emphasis on developing useful business skills that they can incorporate in their lives. We started with one young man and now have trained close to 100 individuals with autism and other special needs in our program.
