Take a look behind the scenes at our shop, with WCCO's John Lauritsen in this week's "Finding Minnesota" video story! Deidre and Robyn had a great time showing off the shop — and the artistry and creativity that goes into your favorite holiday chocolates. “A lot of people will say, oh, it’s too pretty to eat. No, it’s not. You should just enjoy it and then there will be more,” said Chocolatier Robyn Dochterman. Watch the video here >
Chocolatier and owner Robyn Dochterman is capitalizing on the pandemic-inspired “eatertainment” trend with her fabulous cocoa bombs—hand-painted cocoa filled chocolate balls that melt into a silky, decadent glass of hot cocoa. Dochterman’s addictive and stunning confections weave in the best of fresh and local ingredients so it’s no surprise that she won a Good Food award in 2015 and nabbed the “Best Chocolate” award in the Twin Cities by City Pages in 2013.

When weighing the cost of that 50-ish minute drive east into the Eden of Marine on St. Croix and Dochterman’s world of delights, consider that another thing worth fighting for is your departure from the humdrum. Exceedingly fine chocolates and cigars of fiery elixers are the perfect excuse to leave town. Rest assured they’re both perfectly legal (now), and have been deemed the finest available anywhere.

Marine on St. Croix is home to a mere 700 people, one of them is a now a world champion. “It feels wonderful. I couldn’t be happier; I’m totally thrilled to tell you the truth.” Robyn Dochterman said. Dochterman was named world champion at the International Chocolate Salon Awards for her truffle artistry. The winning chocolates were coy-shaped truffles with ganache, honey and black sesame. Watch the video here >
Pop the champagne! The International Chocolate Salon announced this month their Chocolatiers and Confectioners of the year 2020, and we’re among eight chocolatiers to receive the highest rating!
To earn this level, we competed during 2019 in contests for Valentine's chocolates, White Chocolate, Spicy Chocolate, Chocolate Bars, Caramel, Truffle Artistry and Drinking Chocolate.
We won gold or silver awards in all of those categories!
The International Chocolate Salon Awards have announced the winners of its 6th Annual Chocolate Truffle Artistry Awards, and we won the gold for Best Overall Truffle Artistry!
St. Croix Chocolate Company's entry "Koi Inyodo" (Japanese yin and yang duo) featured two hand-painted koi fish "swimming" in a stenciled shipping crate, as though the customer had ordered fancy koi from Japan. One of the koi truffles was filled with yuzu ganache and roasted buckwheat praline. The other featured honey ganache with a black sesame seed crunch.
One judge commented "I love everything from St. Croix Chocolate Company, but the Koi Inyodo was over-the-top amazing!"
This October it was announced that St. Croix Chocolate Company's "Hot Hot Cocoa" won 1st place in the hot and spicy beverage (non alcoholic) category. Are we excited? Absolutely! This was our first time entering these awards, so we didn't know what to expect. We're super happy!
Great news! The International Chocolate Salon awards for Best Chocolate Bar were announced in June and St. Croix Chocolate Company won gold for both our entries: Peanut Butter and Wild Grape Jelly, and Lemon 'Spresso!
The International Chocolate Salon has announced winners of its annual white chocolate category. And St. Croix Chocolate Company won Gold for Best Taste and Best Texture! We entered a spring-inspired box that included customer favorites Passion Fruit, Lively Lemon, Coffee Malt and Apricot.
