About Us

Paradise Chocolatier is owned and operated by Lisa Clements, a Boone native with a passion for chocolate. Working from a small commercial kitchen/workshop about 5 miles from downtown Boone, Paradise Chocolatier is a daily operation of producing small batches of fresh truffles and other chocolates. With the help and support of family and friends, Paradise Chocolatier is a small, but growing, business. We believe you can find glimpses of paradise all around...a sunrise, the goofy look on your dogs face, a beautiful flower...and of course a taste of pure chocolate!

We offer our truffles locally in the Shoppes at Farmers Hardware, and we also offer custom packaged truffles for weddings, parties and other special events. Email Lisa to inquire about chocolates for your next event! Fine chocolates are always a wonderful treat for your guests! We are now offering pick up from our workshop. Call for directions and appointments. 828-406-1414

Refined Dark Chocolate Hearts filled with white chocolate raspberry ganache.




Our truffles are made by hand, using only "pure chocolate" (milk, dark and white) and all natural ingredients. What is "pure chocolate"? Chocolate that has a high cocoa content and no unnatural additives. We use organic cream and other organic ingredients as available. Our flavorings are all natural.

Our solids are all made from the same pure chocolate, relying only on tempering to make the liquid chocolate set into a solid...tempering is the process of melting the chocolate to a high temperature and then gradually lowering it to bring the chocolate into 'temper'...the place where the chocolate is ready to be put into molds or used for dipping. This process is more difficult than adding something to make the chocolate 'set'. Parafin, milkfat & additional oils are all frequent additives in mass produced chocolates. It's worth it not to use these though because the taste of the pure chocolate is so delicious!
