Chocolate Dreams

Our family has always valued togetherness. What better way, my father proclaimed, for the family to be together than for us all to work together in some sort of family enterprise? And with that, we started "the family business", a title that has referred to quite the myriad of projects.

You may wonder what this has to do with chocolate. Well, we are a primarily female family (eleven of us to their three). Women love chocolate! All we girls one day decided to try our hand at chocolate production, since we had a couple of really good recipes. Our family was already participating in craft and trade shows around Michigan with another product, so we added a couple boxes of fudge to the table.

Success! Our fudge was an instant hit. At that point, the entrepreneurial wheels really started turning and we began experimenting with flavors oils and nuts to make our little fudge table better and better.

Within a year, Sweet Somethings Fudge had traveled to craft shows all over Michigan and beyond. We've never been afraid of travel, and our chocolate table has graced Home & Garden shows in many of the eastern and southern states.

These days we've evolved some. Our name has changed slightly--we're now going by Sweet Somethings Chocolate Company--and our product base has widened considerably. We're now offering thirteen different flavors of fudge, gourmet truffles, chocolate bark, turtle pretzels (a personal favorite), and more. Not only that, but we've recently added wedding cakes and party favors to the mix.
