Timeless Handcrafted Jewelry and Unique Specialty Chocolates.

Certified Chocolatier

In 2005, Kathleen Grandfield fell under the spell of the Mayan Gods on one of her visits to San Miguel de Allende. Upon returning to the states, Kathleen and her daughter, Courtney, who is an artist, decided to channel their creative energy and launch a line of novelty chocolates and truffles on a seasonal basis. They were an immediate hit.

She decided to take things a step further and began taking formal classes in early 2007 to become a Certified Chocolatier. She graduated in the summer of 2007 with honors.

Kathleen views her chocolates as a great medium to express her artistic creativity. All of Kathleen’s chocolates are made to order in small batches paying special attention to what her clients needs are.

Her experimentation and adventurous use of premium ingredients are her “homage” to her culinary heroes…Grandmother Rosa and her Mother Mary Alice.

¡Buen provecho!
