As you may have already heard, the 3rd Annual Los Angeles Chocolate Salon will be held on October 11th, 2009. We gave away two pairs of free tickets to our loyal fans. One pair was given away to our Facebook fan, Pauline Fujita who was the first to demand her free tickets by writing on the Jade Chocolates wall “I want my free tickets”. We sent out a notice to our fans on facebook and in record time (one minute to be exact) Pauline got tickets to the sweetest event in town. Join our page on Facebook for updates, information, the occasional chocolate giveaway, prizes, and tastings.

We also gave two free tickets to Mariel Christian of Los Angeles, who gave a rave review on yelp back in January. This review made my day, no, it made my year and I was certain that I would somehow reward Mariel for such a thoughtful review. Here’s what she had to say about Jade Chocolates:
MS. JADE CHOCOLATES!
What can I say? Girl, you’ve created a masterpiece =)
Just about a year ago, I rediscovered my LOVE for chocolate. I’ve always liked chocolate, but for some reason I stopped allowing myself to enjoy it. I had more of a “I’m feeling like crap today – I’ll stuff my face with chocolate” attitude. Then I’d feel bad about it. But someone came along who helped open my eyes to the “goodness” of chocolate and NOW, I decided life’s too short to live without chocolate.
On with my 5 STAR review: I had the pleasure of trying this amazing chocolate. The Genmai Bar is scrumptious. The “rice crispy” crunch is not overwhelming. This is a sweet creation. I also had the Orient Espresso Bar “oh my yum” – melts in your mouth! I shared this one with my roommates and they agreed “very good chocolate”. I’ve tasted the chocolate dipped mangos too, again, delicious =)
I look forward to trying the other flavors! This is gourmet chocolate.
2*’s for the exotic concoctions and very charming packaging. Thought has been put into these adorable bars. Check out the website for more info. Wonderful gift ideas!!!
2*’s for the chocolate itself.
1* for Mindy Fong (owner/Chocolatier) a woman entrepreneur who followed her dream, inspired by her grandfather, to do what she loves. This chocolate is made with heart and you can tell.
