The Chocolates The Jennifer Chocolates product line has grown and changed over the years, but it is still made with love, each piece crafted by hand. The signature dark chocolate truffles have evolved into a whole line of flavoured chocolate truffle squares which change and rotate with the seasons. Visit our Flavour Gallery to see the current flavours. The famous old fashioned caramel is made from scratch and sold by the piece, or dipped in dark chocolate and sprinkled with Himalayan Pink Salt as Jennifer's famous Salted Caramel's. For those more adventurouse, don't miss out on some of Jennifer's more unique combinations, like black liquorice enrobed in chocolate, or spicey Mayan Hot Chocolate with cinnamon, nutmeg and a pinch of cayenne pepper!

The Shop The Chocolate Shop in Nakusp first opened on October 1st 2012. Because it is half a block off the main street, Jennifer painted it pink and purple so it would be noticed from far away. Now the colours are her trademark. Inside, the smell of sweet chocolate fills the air. A wide variety of truffles and chocolates are on display to choose from, and you can fill a box with all your favourites. Everything is made right there in the shop, so If you're lucky you'll even be able to see some of your favourite chocolates being created right in front of you! Come and visit the chocolate shop at 91 4th Ave. NW in Nakusp. Just up the block from the CIBC Bank, across from the Movie Theatre.
