Starting a business can be daunting, but when it's your passion, there's nothing that can hold you back. And that's exactly how it all started for us, Meet Mel and Joyce they stumbled upon a fudge business called Chocolate Moonshine at a franchise expo. We had never heard of them before, but Mel had tasted their fudge before and was sold on the idea. After tasting it for ourselves, we knew that this could be our chance to enter the fudge business, and it was a chance we couldn't let pass.

Chica's Chocolates is our brand name and it represents Joyce & Mel in the world of fudge which is creamy, rich, and has the perfect texture . They want to share Chicas chocolates with the world. The started with Belgian Chocolate, Sea Salt Caramel, Peanut Butter, Espresso, Orange Creamsicle (which we renamed Memory Lane), and Creme Brulee, but we didn't stop there. We continued to experiment with different flavors and came up with some fantastic combinations. Our customers loved our fudge, and we were thrilled to see our business grow.

We also started offering alcohol-infused chocolate truffles, which quickly became a fan favorite. The Black Cherry Bourbon, Barrel Aged Whiskey, Moonshiner, and Rum Runner were just a few of the flavors that our customers loved. We had so many flavors to offer that we knew we had a bar that would tickle everyone's fancy.
