The Hype
Phillip Ashley Chocolates was selected as the Official Chocolatier of the Grammy Awards Gift Lounge in 2016. Of all the chocolate makers in the country a black man in Memphis stood out. Perhaps it’s because these chocolates are handmade. Maybe it’s because they use only the finest fair trade chocolate. It could be the superb, original designs Phillip Ashley crafts for each of its creations. Pick any of the above — Phillip Ashley is simply original, superb and overwhelmingly luxurious. Neiman Marcus now carries the Phillip Ashley brand, just for that reason. Phillip Ashley is so distinct, so beyond other companies that he became FORBES Magazine’s “Real Life Willy Wonka.” Phillip Ashley is nothing like you’ve experienced before.
