“Our dark chocolate peanut butter eggs are always our best seller in the springtime and it’s no surprise why,” research and development senior scientist and chief chocolatier, Mark Mackey said. “What’s our secret? Grinding our own peanuts to make fresh peanut butter before drenching it in premium dark chocolate, with just a hint of sea salt. For those who like eating peanut butter straight out of the jar, this treat is meant for you.”
A Legend of Handcrafted Chocolates
Inspired by the kitchen of Ethel Mars, whose recipes date back to 1910, Forrest Mars Sr. created Ethel M Chocolates in his mother’s honor. Using her timeless recipes, Forrest’s vision of sharing fresh-crafted, small-batch, premium chocolates was born. Today, Ethel M Chocolates® are still made in small batches with no preservatives, using only the freshest and finest ingredients. The Henderson factory is powered by more than 2,000 solar panels, meaning their springtime treats are made with solar energy before shopped on coolers and ice for peak freshness.
“Each of our handcrafted pieces of chocolate tells a story,” said Oren Young, general manager of Ethel M Chocolates®. “From our signature, year-round classic pieces that began as recipes in Ethel Mars’ kitchen more than a century ago, to our seasonal and new flavors created by our chief chocolatier, we are dedicated to making the best chocolates possible. While flavors may change, our commitment to using only the freshest ingredients is steadfast.”
