The Journey of Chocolate Mountain

From the Rockies to Roswell—One Family, One Chocolate, One Sweet Adventure

It all started in Vail, Colorado, back in 1978—when the Mannik family decided to turn their shared sweet tooth into something bigger: a little chocolate shop tucked into the mountains, filled with big dreams and even bigger flavor.

Chocolate Mountain grew one handmade piece at a time, eventually finding its way from a cozy storefront in Vail to kitchens across the country. Over the years, we’ve whipped up truffles, toffees, chocolate orchids—even built an entire Explorer Box filled with seven different creations.

But let’s be honest… one stood out.

After thousands of batches, a few kitchen disasters, and a whole lot of taste testing (tough job, we know), we realized something: the Black Diamond was the one. Customers loved it. We couldn’t stop sneaking them ourselves. It was rich, smooth, just a little salty—and it became our signature.

So we made a bold move.
We chose just one chocolate.

Today, Chocolate Mountain lives in Roswell, Georgia—still family-owned, still handcrafting every batch with the same care (and occasional chocolate smudges) that started it all. Heather and Tori lead the magic, Todd ships like a champ, and Nik makes sure we don’t break the internet.

We’re not a factory. We’re a family.
And this is the chocolate we believe in.

Welcome to Chocolate Mountain—where everything we’ve ever made led us right here: to one unforgettable bite.
