Monkey Flower Fine Chocolates

Specialties

We specialize in chocolate truffles — really really good ones, with unique and fun flavors inspired by Tucson and the Southwest. We also make a spicy Mexican Toffee with pepitas, white chocolate, and dark chocolate layers and chocolate bars with nuts, fruit, chilis… anything you can imagine. Call the chocolatier for special events — if you can come up with a confection that will make your party perfect, we can make it happen!

We use a (shared) commercial kitchen, but there is no store front for Monkey Flower Fine Chocolates at this time.

History

Established in 2011.

Marjorie DeWald, Chocolatier, is a Tucson native. After nearly 12 years of working with children in foster care as a Clinical Social Worker and therapist, she decided to take her love of chocolate and passion for artful creation to a new level. As of yet, there is no store front for Monkey Flower Fine Chocolates… instead you will find Marjorie’s creations at special events and bazaars around town. There are also a growing number of shops carrying products, and you can always contact her for orders, either personally or via website.
