2023 BEST CHOCOLATE FIND

It is true that chocolate gives us a soothing rush of endorphins –

and, really, don’t we all love that feeling!

Having just seen the new film, WONKA

(don’t believe the critics – it’s charming – we laughed, we cried) – we have a new appreciation for the power of truly delicious chocolate – the kind that is like an explosion of happiness in your mouth!

We found exactly that taste treat with Phillip Ashley Chocolates out of Memphis. Not only are they utterly mouthwatering but also beautiful to gaze upon.

We recently met Chef Phillip Ashley Rix at Neiman Marcus Michigan Avenue.

He clearly loves what he has created since he began by selling his chocolates from the trunk of his four- door sedan. Now he’s been named one of the Best Chocolatiers and Confectioners in America.

He has built his success on unusual pairings which by some kind of magic – work!

Memphis Margarita, Fried Chicken, Maple Bacon Pecan Praline, Collards and Cornbread to name just a few delectable flavors.

We encourage you to go to his WEBSITE and/or go to Neiman Marcus where his extraordinary confections can be purchased.

He is the “real” Willy Wonka!

As Tom Hanks uttered in Forrest Gump, “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”
