Chocolate Monkey

Description

We are a locally owned Chocolate Factory. Our products are made FRESH in each store. We use REAL Cream & Butter. . The Story of the Chocolate Monkey After much contemplation, Steve and Mei Shuen Branham along with brother John and sister-in-law Mary Branham made the decision to venture into the candy business. After many combined years of experience in both retail and customer service, we knew that this was a direction that we wanted to go in because even in times of bad economic conditions, people love their sweets! In February, 2009, we opened the doors to our first Chocolate Monkey in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee with the help of several veteran candy makers from the area. With all of their many years of experience with chocolate, candy and fudge business we were able to get started with relatively few mistakes. This allowed us to compare various recipes and techniques with the ultimate goal of producing the absolute best quality and best tasting products to be found anywhere, period. The Smoky Mountains have long been associated with great homemade candies and fudge, but we had the goal of offering our customers an even better product combined with fantastic customer service. All of our products are created the old fashioned way using the best ingredients such as real cream and butter. Our giant caramel apples are one of our star attractions. They are covered in our own homemade caramel and topped with various combinations of candy, chocolate and nuts
