Unique hand-​made, hand-​dipped Award Winning Chocolate Truffles. With 1492 Chocolates you, too, can discover America one state at a time. We have a truffle made for each of the United States indicative of whatever that state is known for. Example: FL = Key Lime, TN: Blue Suede Elvis, NC = Cheerwine, each of which won awards at the Broadmoor’s Holiday Chocolate Festival 2013, with Florida taking the Champion in the Open Class Truffle Competition. Our NC came in 2^nd to our FL. Our TN came in 2^nd in a different category. Chef Courtney is Le Cordon Bleu educated and creates each recipe. Seasonal chocolate creations are also available. Elegant logo embossed boxes are an added touch.

Meet the Business Owner

Courtney L.

Business Owner

1492 Chocolates was founded by the youngest daughter of the family after discovering her passion in culinary school. Before Courtney graduated with the highest academic honors from Le Cordon Bleu Culinary College in 2010, she spent over 10 years traveling and working as a professional model. During this time she was able to learn how traditions, especially through foods and cultural treats, tied together communities and highlighted their unique and fun flavors. This is something she wanted to express and share in her own way, and decided chocolate would tell this story.

Following graduation, Courtney had the honor of working in world renowned resorts and specialty wedding boutiques, developing and mastering her techniques as a Pastry Chef and, of course, specializing in chocolate confectioneries. Courtney now serves as our chocolate artisan, creating, designing and hand making all of our exclusive chocolates.
