Announcement    Our shop features handcrafted chocolates: hand dipped cookies and pretzels, popcorn, artisanal brownies and oversized stuffed chocolate truffles filled with unique and interesting flavors and textures. A chocolate shell surrounds creamy ganache, with a cakey center, like a real piece of fudgy brownie or freshly made doughnut. We only use Fair Trade chocolate and GMO-free ingredients. No artificial anything. Each piece is nearly 2x the size of the average chocolate truffle.

On Etsy since 2015
  • Everything at HB+M Chocolate Truffles is handmade. Here, Executive Chocolate Chef Anina is making ganache.
  • We do not use artificial flavors. The doughnut truffles have real doughnuts inside.
  • Brownie everything is a trend. We do not use brownie flavor. Those are real brownies inside HB+M Chocolate Truffles.
  • Each truffle is hand-painted. Anina uses all-natural colored cocoa butter and custom color blends.
  • We custom blend the chocolate to make our own distinct flavor profile. It is totally unique, Fair Trade, and non-GMO.

This business is about really good chocolate and having a little fun.

Christina has been working for big companies for nearly her whole adult life. She's been in the chocolate business for about 10 years now, and she has ideas. Lots of ideas. After some serious soul-searching, she left her desk job in marketing and struck out on her own. Fortunately, she knows lots of chocolate and confection experts from her time in the industry. She approached her neighbor and friend, Anina, for help and advice. Anina agreed to develop prototypes. Recipe development took months of work (but we finally got there)!

We wanted something a little bit different, but not wacky. We wanted to use really good chocolate, but we didn't want to settle for whatever already exists. We set out to develop a signature chocolate recipe. Anina brought in her baking skills and continues to develop recipes for interesting and new centers to test and trial. Everything we make is something you may already eat with chocolate, just in a new context or form.

Christina also approached her friends, Bob and Gary, for advice on chocolate manufacturing and handling. Bob and Gary have collectively over 50 years of experience at Mars in the R&D department (they're retired now). You could say they know something about chocolate. They've been incredibly supportive but have not shied away from being critical when needed.

With all this experience in producing chocolate, Christina and Anina are all set to go to market. We're starting out here on Etsy. Hope you enjoy!

    I have a culinary degree from the ICE in New York. I've been a pastry chef in bakeries and catering venues for over 10 years. Christina and I are friends and neighbors. And when she told me she was starting her own chocolate company, I jumped.

Hello! Welcome to HB+M Chocolate Truffles. We hand make, hand paint the very finest quality chocolate truffles... all with something special at its heart. We do have one peanut butter item, and our truffles are made in a facility which also processes nuts. The deliciousness contained within these chocolates is made with traditional ingredients. That means, there's dairy, wheat, and eggs (and sometimes peanuts). If you are allergic or sensitive, please note.

Shipping
Shipping is included in the cost of the product. I ship chocolate in a thermally insulated bag with gel packs. I generally choose a ship date that will minimize time in transit (i.e., I won't ship over the weekend) or I will wait for a cooler day (if that option exists). However, I have successfully shipped to Phoenix, AZ and Southern Italy! Most items are USA only, but I do have an International Listing. If you are outside the USA, please use that listing to customize your order. THANKS!
