About us

Honest Chocolates is about making the best-tasting chocolates possible for an affordable price. We work really really hard to make our chocolates taste good. It means a lot when people tell us we make the best caramel (or honeycomb or marshmallow or soft center or ganache or...) they ever tasted. The candy's cooked in small batches. We use an eating chocolate chosen by customers in a blind taste test. Most of our products turn over within a week, so you know they're fresh. If a product doesn't sell we stop making it, so the ones we continue to carry are very popular with our customers (sort of a survival of the tastiest). We keep our chocolates affordable by focusing on taste while watching other costs carefully. So we use bags instead of boxes (you can't eat a box!), avoid expensive ingredients, work out of a small town rather than the big city, and share our locations with other businesses, including the small (but excellent) Orchards Bistro in McMinnville and local Pinot Noir producer Seven of Hearts at our commercial kitchen in Carlton. Honest Chocolates is a team of hard-working people. We love what we do. Dana has been making candies and chocolates for over 25 years. She put her internet sales on hold to open the store in McMinnville, and is very excited to be back on the web. Betty, our most senior team member, has many years experience packing and selling chocolates, along with lots of energy and enthusiasm! And though she's just started to dip chocolates, she's a natural. Tracy manages the Newberg store, keeps our standards high, and dips chocolates like a pro--because she is! Hannah is a talented home-schooled teen with many creative interests, including screen-printing and sewing her own clothes. We love her energy & positive attitude. This is Jessica's first job, but she has proven up to the challenge, taking on more responsibilities in the store and becoming one of our best dippers; she also makes exquisite jewelry. Janice, a former flight attendant and dental assistant and current loving mom, has joined us just in time for the holidays and is having a ball making chocolates and helping customers! Shannon, also new but picking up chocolate dipping and customer skills very quickly, is still in high school but already an accomplished artist. We feel lucky to have such a talented, enthusiastic, hard-working crew! You are welcome to visit us anytime at our bricks & mortar stores and watch us dip chocolates.
