Crafting Kentucky's Sweetest Traditions

Our story began when Don and Pam Hurt shifted from running a bakery to following their passion for creating delectable chocolates. What started as a small backroom operation has grown into a family-run business with five locations across Lexington. Our family continues to carry on the legacy, spending six decades and counting, handcrafting chocolates with the freshest, highest-quality ingredients, so you can give something personal, memorable, and distinctly Kentucky. 


Whether you’re shopping for an upcoming holiday, a surprise treat, or a personalized corporate gift, you’re sure to find something everyone will love. Shop online or in-store at one of our Lexington locations and give a handmade gift from our family to yours.

Smells so inviting walking through the door, and it's wall to wall treats! Best chocolate I've ever tried and the choices are so many!

Absolutely the best gourmet chocolate available in Kentucky! Their chocolate covered potato chips and chocolate covered grapes are extremely addictive! They even have sugar free chocolate that is unbelievable! Highly recommend!
