Sweet Paradise Chocolatier Hawaii


Wild strawberry guava, lilikoi, lychee, mango, starfruit...these are just some of the exotic tropical fruit tuffle flavors being offered by chocolatier Melanie Boudar. But her favorite is a choclate called Crouching Tiger made with Asian pears, ginger and sake, then striped and dusted in gold. The new chocolate website should be up in the next month. look for www.chocolateonmaui.com to tempt you.

Hawaii Chocolate


I have been busy that last 6 months being classically trained as a chocolatier. Attended the Culinary Institute in New York and Ecole Chocolat in Vancouver Canada. Now guests to the Bamboo Orchid Cottage B&B are being treated with fresh artisan chocolates using fine French & Belgian chocolate and tropical centers. The new chocolate company is called Sweet Paradise Chocolatier and will be opening a flagship store in Maui this summer. Watch for the new website to go live in February www.chocolateonmaui.com
