Ethel's chocolate lounge Coupons

Ethel’s Chocolate represents a proud heritage of chocolate making that started when our founder, Forrest Mars Sr., watched his mother create gourmet chocolates in their home during the early nineteen-hundreds in Tacoma, Washington. In 1981, Forrest Mars Sr, "retired" to Henderson, Nevada and created Ethel M Chocolates to honor his mother by creating a line of gourmet chocolates that reminded him of how he learned about quality chocolate making. We continue using some of the same recipes and introduced a new line of ganache centered gourmet chocolates in 2005, called Ethel’s Chocolates. Both Ethel M Chocolates and Ethel’s Chocolates are sold in our 8 locations throughout Las Vegas, via the web at www.ethelschocolate.com, and through our call center at 1-800-438-4356. Our factory is located at One Sunset Way in Henderson, NV. We offer self-guided tours of our factory and our Botanical Cactus Garden. Philosophy Our philosophy of delivering remarkable chocolate taste remains the same as it did over 25 years ago, when Forrest Mars Sr. created Ethel M Chocolates. Eat Chocolate, Not Preservatives. Ethel’s Chocolate uses no preservatives, just as Ethel Mars did in her kitchen in 1911. You will taste the difference in the pure, delicious flavor and smooth texture that comes from using no preservatives. Our factory makes our chocolates in small batches to deliver the highest quality, freshest product to our consumers. When you visit our factory and stores, you will experience the passion of chocolate making. Our passion comes from a culture of uncompromising quality, accountability from every associate, and the joy we experience when we can share our chocolate with one more person. Ethel’s Chocolate associates are dedicated to making your chocolate experience one that you’ll want to savor and share.
