In The Press

“My wife has a soft spot for chocolate, and there’s an exquisite chocolatier off Sunset called John Kelly Chocolates. I don’t love chocolate, but I love theirs.”

NYT

 “Truffles? Call It Fudge With Class.  Truffles, the chocolate kind, usually have creamy ganache centers. But John Kelly Chocolates has made the truffle homy by using old-fashioned fudge instead of ganache. An old-fashioned chocolate-loving mom might appreciate them on Sunday.”

 

Stewart

“Chocolate and salt form a heavenly union in these handmade fudge bites.”

 

LAConfidential

“John Kelly Chocolates is pushing a different kind of chocolate high.  The company’s succulent fudge freshens up the old-fashioned confection with choice walnuts, premium chocolate, and flakes of sea salt.  Cut neatly into bars and truffles and lightly coated in dark chocolate, the velvety smooth fudge is insanely addictive.”

 

Bonappetit

“These fudgy treats make for great stocking stuffers.”
