About Jennifer

Jennifer Cross earned her Professional Chocolatiers certification from Ecole Chocolat in 2011. She later traveled to Lecco, Italy where she received her Master Chocolatier's credentials at Agostini Chocolates in 2013.

As recently as 2023 she attended a course at the Callebaut Chocolate Academy in Athens, Greece, see photo below. In addition she has traveled to California to learn from a Belgian Chef, and has visited Costa Rica several times to visit Cocoa Plantations and even brought 40kg of Costa Rican chocolate back to Canada with her on the airplane!

Now she is the owner and Head Chocolatier at Jennifer Chocolates, her namesake store located in Nakusp, BC.

The Chocolates

The Jennifer Chocolates product line has grown and changed over the years, but it is still made with love, each piece crafted by hand.

The signature dark chocolate truffles have evolved into a whole line of flavoured chocolate truffle squares which change and rotate with the seasons. Visit our Flavour Gallery to see the current flavours.

The famous old fashioned caramel is made from scratch and sold by the piece, or dipped in dark chocolate and sprinkled with Himalayan Pink Salt as Jennifer's famous Salted Caramel's.

For those more adventurouse, don't miss out on some of Jennifer's more unique combinations, like black liquorice enrobed in chocolate, or spicey Mayan Hot Chocolate with cinnamon, nutmeg and a pinch of cayenne pepper!

Pop-Up Shops

Next Pop-Up Shop:
Saturday October 4th
10am – 2pm

Due to a shoulder injury from repetitive motion making my chocolate art, I am unable to produce enough chocolate product to satisfy the customer demand of a full time shop. I am receiving treatment for my shoulder and am making limited amounts of chocolate.

These pop-up shops are my way of keeping the shop going while I heal my injury. I will announce Pop-Up shop dates here on the website and also on the Jennifer Chocolates Facebook page.

If you would like to order ahead to get first dibs at your favourite items, you can order online here: jenniferchocolates.square.site

I hope you will continue to enjoy the chocolates I am able to make and I am grateful to all of you who continue to support me!
