Keeping a personal and professional eye on the creative chocolate making process, Joseph, hotelier and artisan chocolatier, has perfected a confection of incomparable and meticulous tastes providing a remarkable and luxurious chocolate experience for chocolate lovers.

Le Chocolatier’s success is on no small part attributable to its dedicated staff of chocolate artisans devotedly working in the factory kitchen, some for a decade and more. Le Chocolatier prides itself on its family atmosphere.

Le Chocolatier offers simple chocolate which includes truffles, traditional favorites, glace fruit and nuts, cookies and pretzels, fresh fruit platters and fresh dipped strawberries.

Le Chocolatier specializes in extravagant, luscious and beautifully presented chocolate baskets and platters. Every presentation is topped with a gorgeous handmade bow, ready to place on any table or buffet as a magnificent centerpiece or just to enjoy unwrapping and delight in the assortment of sublime delicacies.
Le Chocolatier has searched the basket industry to find just the right shapes and textures that will compliment the unique chocolate presentation. The masterful designers top the beautiful baskets with the perfect coordinating bow to suit the occasion.

Sometimes, chocolate should just be chocolate, especially when it is molded into astonishing shapes and painted with vibrant colors! Le Chocolatier maintains a collection of over three thousand molds in all shapes to enhance your themed parties or just for an unusual gift. They use the time honored, highest quality chocolate for both taste and beauty to make these amazing molded creations stand out from the rest.
The molded shapes can also be dusted in gold or platinum, made to look like prized possessions or antiques, only edible and delicious.
Also, custom molds are par for the course daily at Le Chocolatier where they have access to the finest mold artists in the Unites States. They can create your business logo in chocolate with a customized mold or a molded shape with a four color image overlay.
