| Chocolate truffles...YUM! |
 |
Jill and I have a great working relationship – similar sense of humour, work ethic, complete honesty and we have a lot of fun! Also, she's a fellow Cape Bretoner. |
Jill and I met while teaching English as a Second Language at East Coast School of Languages in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 2006.
A year later I decided to study graphic design and Jill fell in love with chocolate making. We have had so many fun brainstorming sessions over the years - from packaging, to ideas for the shop, to which chocolates to include in which collection, to taste testing. Excitingly, it's all coming together because Jill is opening her first shop in the Trillium Building on South Park Street, Halifax in March 2012.
Currently, Jill is making chocolates in a rented kitchen space while working at the Old Triangle, meeting with contractors and business folks for the new shop, and spending time with her husband and little girl Ellie.
Some shots from our Sunday sessions...

| The result: 12 piece nuts and caramel. Front and centre is the Glen Breton dark chocolate. Decadent! |

| Chocolate tubes |

| I love these because they remind me of the icy cups I bought as a youth at the Inverness Arena - figure skating and hockey energy! They are toasted coconut cups - think Pot of Gold (but better ; ) |
 |
| Combo packs - NEW this holiday season. The 4-box and chocolate tubes are also new. |

| So pretty. The perfect LOCAL GIFT for the sexy chocolate lover on your list : ) My favourite? The sesame caramel in the front. WOW...  www.jillschocolates.com will go live the first weekend of December. All of the chocolates above will be available on her website. www.missbrenna.ca |
Chocos and photos both look dynamite Bren!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tommy!! They're really hard to resist.
ReplyDeleteYummy! How awesome is it that both of your outfits match the chocolates packaging. Did you plan that? I'm excited for Jill's shop--I can't wait to read about opening day.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary! Nope it wasn't planned at all. To be honest, they were the only leggings I had clean (haha). Yes, Jill will have a blog connected to her website to keep you posted on opening day. I'll keep everyone posted too. Lots of design work to do before then...
