#WeBuyBlack28 — Day 8
Phillip Ashley Chocolates
Phillip Ashley Chocolates is a chocolate design firm based in Memphis, founded by Phillip Ashley Rix. Hershey can make a chocolate bar. But FedEx, Disney, Stevie Wonder and other A list celebrities choose Phillip Ashley because they make luxurious, handcrafted chocolates that are, in their own words, “visually stunning and breathtakingly decadent.” If you plan to give a special someone chocolate for Black Love Day don’t be basic — visit Phillip Ashley and send chocolates that make a real statement.
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.
The Creations
Allow me to highlight items to consider for that special someone for Black Love Day.
Signature Caramels are masterfully hand crafted with the finest goat’s milk paired with ingredients from around the world and superior fair trade chocolate. Phillip Ashley’s chocolatiers select each piece of edible art to present in a gorgeous gift box that will surely impress.
Cherry Cordials come in a 6 piece gift box of Phillip Ashley’s tart, sweet maraschino cherries, brined in their special blend of spiced whiskey and brandy for 3 months, covered in smooth fondant and enrobed in single origin dark chocolate. This is definitely an upgrade.
