I’m not a big chocolate fan but do enjoy some gourmet confections. I purchased a pack of the white chocolate/​raspberry almonds and the individually wrapped peanut butter dark chocolate discs (2 for $ 20). Both are very tasty and I give the edge to the peanut butter discs. The store is small & has a display of individual chocolates with a few very unique flavors such as fig & red wine, pb & j, etc. along with the various larger packs of confections.
The cashier was helpful and gave me some background on the store and the homemade confections. I believe the store was voted a Top 10 Confectioner or something to that effect. Good place to stop in while at the Park and try a few unique gourmet items.

This is one more reason I love container park ! Come up to the second floor and enjoy JinJu Chocolates! They are beautiful to even look at behind the case. JinJu is a local and one of the top chocolatiers on the West coast! We tried the 702 Mob– they have bars of chocolate with delicious concoctions! They look like bars of Ritter Sport which is perfect if you just want to savor a little bit. The 792 Mob has Carmel, Coconut and Milk chocolate, toffee and pecans — it is amazing! They have a red rock, Elvis … and some others. Well worth the trip!

Stopped by JinJu during the Unilocal event supporting small business at the Container Park. It was fascinating to me to see the Unilocalers through out the day that were only looking for the handouts. The GF and I were determined to not be lumped into this category.
Just like everything else in the Container Park… everything is tight quarters. JinJu is tiny, but MASSIVE in heart and enthusiasm! Sure we got our freebies consisting of different flavored turtles. But it was behind the glass were the magic truly happens.
We decided to go for an eight pack of chocolate. One of the two adorable and helpful ladies behind the counter recommended this particular configuration. One of them said the box can be used after it’s contents are emptied can be used as a jewelry box.
We loaded it with such assortments consisting of Vanilla Dream, Dark Raspberry, Sea Salt Caramel Truffle, Key Lime, Tahitian Cream, Egg Nog, and Tasted Coconut. Unsure of what to load? Try a sample!
It was an honor as a consumer to try a local business. After discovering that it is indeed FABULOUS! We look very much forward to making future orders!

The chocolates at this place are incredible. I am very pleased with their selection of chocolates as well as their prices. Some of the chocolates are beautifully designed. I would highly recommend the Chai Spice chocolates. I was not as pleased with the Matcha Green Tea Chocolate, but the Eggnog chocolate and chocolate covered gummy worms are very tasty. It’s in a very cute little outdoor mall on the second floor. Service was good too. They have these Holiday Survival Kits that last for a few months with all different types of chocolate and chocolate covered pretzels, etc. Mmm!

These chocolates are everything! They taste amazing and the presentation is wonderful. These are the best looking candies I’ve seen and perfect for gifting! The pecan clusters are my favorite and the emoji peanut butter cups are too cute!

Went here based off a Unilocal friend’s review, and bookmarked it for the future. The establishment participated in the Unilocal’s Small Business Saturday, so I had a reason to visit. Yay!
As can be expected, the chocolate was yummy. I thought the presentation matched the taste as well. My favorite so far has to be their peanut butter cups, and I can’t wait to try the 3 Chili Spice chocolate.
The ladies that were there were nice, and very accommodating to us and their other patrons. Quite knowledgeable about their products as well.
I’ll try to frequent this place as much as possible.

As far as getting some artisan chocolates made from the finest ingredients, this is your place.
Frequenting Container Park, a couple times we’ve stopped by JinJu for a small piece of chocolatey goodness. The place is quite small, but the assortment of flavors available is not. Rich in flavor and in smoothly texture, if you like chocolate, then this is your place.

The hazelnut was absolutely amazing. It was some kind of square-​shaped upgraded Ferrero Rocher chocolate. It gave a little crunch at the end which added a surprising depth to the chocolate.
If you’re a fan of red wine, try the red wine. It mimics the flavor perfectly (probably because it’s made from red wine). I don’t like red wine. Believe me when I say it mimics it perfectly.
Earlier in the day, I visited a chocolate shop on the strip. This location, off the beaten path, was far better in terms of taste and genuine quality.

OMG!!! These chocolates are amazing! The staff is so informative and some of the nicest customer service.
I would recommend this to anyone and they’re sugar free chocolate truffle is delicious!
I personally got the chocolate peanut butter cup and the milk chocolate almonds and it was so good. I wish that would have bought more!!! This place is perfect for any occasion and all the holidays, if you live in Las Vegas this place is a must!!!

Love Local Chocolatier Jin Caldwell’s JinJu Chocolate shop. Great flavor combinations! They are a little pricy, but rent in Container Park is probably pretty high. We left with an assortment of treats protected by a little ice pack that the nice salesperson thought to include in our bag.
Items we tried, shared, and loved: pecan caramel cluster, toffee bar, chocolate covered pretzel sticks, 702 Mob bar, Park Ranger bar, Fig & Red Wine chocolate.
Tried and just liked okay: chocolate covered oreo, peanut butter cup, PB&J truffle.
Tried and loved by another: chocolate covered twinkie.

I’ve heard an unless stream of praise for JinJu Chocolates, so I was thrilled to finally try them. I bought my best friend visiting from NYC and we were the only visitors in the small shop. The person behind the counter was friendly enough, but offered very little in telling us about the store, their products, or suggestions. She didn’t talk much and I had to ask many, many questions to get just a little information.
They charge for their chocolate boxes, so unless you’re gifting them, you get little plastic baggies. I thought that was perfectly fine, but she shoved all of my 16 chocolates haphazardly into ONE baggie. I couldn’t believe this lack of care for such beautiful treats. Obviously, they all ended up with scratches taking away from their glamour. The whole situation was such a turn off. If you’re not going to use boxes for that amount of chocolates, at least use multiple packages.
Bonbons ($ 1.50 or 2/​$ 2.50): Tropical Fruit, Berry Mascarpone, Citrus, Toasted Coconut, Tahitian Crème, Hazelnut Praline. These were all very pretty. My favorites were Citrus and Toasted Coconut. I did not like Tahitian Crème. They were all decent, but nothing exciting.
Exotic Caramels ($ 1.50 or 2/​$ 2.50): Espresso, Lemon, Chipotle. These were really nice! Out of all the types of chocolates, these were probably the best overall. The caramel had great flavor and texture. I loved the different flavors available, especially lemon.
Truffles ($ 1.75 or 2/​$ 3): Matcha, Chai Tea, Honey. The fillings were all creamy and smooth, however, I did not care for the Chai Tea or Honey. The Matcha flavor was fantastic though.
My friend picked up a few bars as gifts, so we tried the «Park Ranger» chocolate bar (Darkened milk chocolate, caramelized peanuts, pretzel sticks, bacon, and sea salt). The chocolate was really nice, but the pretzel sticks were extremely stale/​hard and difficult to chew! It was terrible. I had to spit it out. I’d assume it’s not usually like that, but what a shame.
I was definitely disappointed. It was the high expectations. The service was a turnoff and the chocolates were just not as good as comparable ones I’ve just had somewhere else on the Strip.

A great local business in Container Park that serves one of my favorite things in the whole wide world: chocolate! They have bars, truffles, cookies, caramel, toffee, etc. Dark, white and milk chocolate. They have chocolate bars with a Vegas reference to them: Red Rock, 702 Mob, Sin City, Elviiis, Show Girl, etc.
I picked up a box of truffles while I was on a 21-​day challenge that requires giving up chocolate. I figured I’d reward myself with some good chocolate if I successfully complete the challenge. Chocolate is a huge weakness of mine. I eat it everyday… I turn into the Incredible Hulk if I don’t. I had to hide the truffles in a safe place to avoid accidental consumption.
After my challenge, I delightfully opened my box of matcha truffles and chai truffle. I first tried the matcha then the chai. I had forgotten what the matcha tasted like so, I had to try another piece. Both aren’t super sweet and the flavors were just right — not mild, not strong but distinct.
They only had a few hazelnut items and none were with dark chocolate — sad for me. But the matcha truffle made up for it. Oh, they have Strout Bacon truffle! They have seasonal truffles like Jin-​ger Bread, Pumpkin Spice, Egg Nog, Cherry Cordial, Three Chili Spices and others. Also, if you order over $ 100 worth of items, they’ll deliver in Vegas for free. They also ship items anywhere.

I’ve heard great things about this place and the chocolatier, Jin, but unfortunately she was not in store when I made it by– the girl working was quiet and did not offer any information, asked several questions but she didn’t seem interested in being social. It was awkward.
The 16-​piece sampler box comes with a variety of Jinju’s best offerings, including some bonbons, truffles, caramels, a few pieces each from the Keshi and Akoya collections, and a seasonal chocolate or two.
Favorites this visit included the espresso crunch, mint chocolate chip, cappuccino and sea salt caramel truffles, and the pumpkin spice and Jin-​ger bread seasonals.
Store is small but very cute, with informative plaques detailing the chocolate-​making process and several different packages to pick from for gift-​giving purposes. Pretty sure I’ll be using my gift card on myself though: the peanut butter cup, PB&J truffle, and lemon white chocolate all have my name on them! I just hope Jin herself is working next time I pop by.

A friend introduced me to JinJu Chocolates. I think that makes her a great friend!
JinJu is located in the Container Park with many other quaint little shops. Yes the shop itself is very small but they deliver the quality. It was my first time there looking over all of their goodies. I decided to play it safe — my choice was the Roasted Almond French Caramel Bouchée. I think I needed to pat myself on the back for that choice. Creamy, sweet and oh so delicious. The chocolate is perfectly made without any bitterness. It is sprinkled with a touch of sea salt. I absolutely love the sweet and salty combination. I may venture outside of my comfort zone next time and try something new. They do have many more to try. They also offer shipping if you wanted to send a gift. Great for the upcoming holidays!
The service here was great. She offered us samples and did a great job explaining various items. This would include a rare chocolate that they sell. In fact they are the only authorized seller in Nevada for this special chocolate.
Stop into this cute little shop. Fantastic service and quality chocolate!
