About
My name is Jessie and I first started making chocolate in 2015, while living in Golden,BC. It has always been something I enjoy making and sharing with friends and family, after all food brings people together and who does not like chocolate. After making the move to the Yukon, building a new house and having a baby I decided to take a leave from silversmithing. I started to sell raw chocolates at the local market in Haines Junction and it was a big hit. I was approached to start teaching raw chocolate classes to youth and adults which has been so much fun, I love to share my knowledge and see the joy making food brings to others. I am exicited to continue to pursue my passions and see how my little business can continue to grow and expand. Lets see where this next chapter in chocolate takes us.
