We're giving you a private look into our personalities — our chocolate personalities, that is. . . .

Machaelle, Captain of the Ship
The one who makes it all possible, whose work brought you here, Captain of the Ship, Our Fearless Leader. Or, as Aunt Dorothy dubbed her, "Boss-Lady."
Fran’s Chocolate is absolutely the Final Word where
chocolate is concerned. Favorite: Gray Salt Caramel.

Clarence, Garden Assistant
Photographer, Miles' Best Bud, aka "The Clarence"
Favorite Chocolate? Fran's, Any Dark Chocolate.

Jeannette, Garden Assistant, DIRFINPERCUSSER
Mucks the pond, answers the question line, and has declared herself the Official baked goods taster.
Fran's Double Chocolate Figs are beyond the best.

Heather, Garden Assistant
Stolen from the mailroom, but she still keeps Jimmy in line when we let her out of the garden. Newly crowned queen of potting-up and the strawberry harvest.
Snickers, Oreos if they count.

Beth, Publishing/Web-Head, All-Around Geek Girl
You know her best from the question hot line and email. The rest of her work is embedded in our web site and behind the scenes.
Any chocolate will do.

Rebecca, Assistant FINPERCUSSER
Invoicer Extraordinaire, #1 Customer Advocate, Jeannette's right hand and left eye in our day to day business.
Another fan of Fran's — Gray Salt Caramel is her top choice.

Gail, Customer Service
Makes the very best pumpkin bars on earth. Oh and she answers your calls and processes your orders, too! Has more patience than anyone we've ever met.
Her favorite is milk chocolate with caramel, most definitely.

Brock, Customer Service and IT
Our very own Harry Potter look-a-like! Takes and processes your orders, and he's a Computer Geek Extraordinaire.
His favorite — French amaretto truffles.

Cheryl, Publishing/Web & Garden Assistant
Our very own Idea Machine and Queen of the Harvest. And she keeps our greenhouse so very well tended.
It's always time for a Lindt Nocciolato!

Karla, Publishing/Web
E-Book Specialist, geek girl in training. We are certain she keeps an invisibility cloak in her desk drawer, when she isn't wearing it that is.
Karla's fave is Lindt white chocolate.

Jimmy, Mail Room
Speedy picker, packer and shipper. Gotta get it done! Another one who just can't wipe that smile off his face.
Jimmy likes all chocolate, but his favorite is a Mr. Goodbar.

Duck, Grounds Assistant
All-Around-Caretaker-of-the-Grounds, Buildings, Machines and Pretty much Whatever we Need — the Harvey Job
Duck favors Hershey's Milk Chocolate with Almonds.

Jeanie, Production
Queen of the Pump, keeping your bottles coming. She's also a master cheesecake maker!
She likes any dark chocolate, plain and simple.

Lisa, Production
Speedy Gonzales. You name it, and she'll do it — before you finish the sentence.
Lisa never met a chocolate she didn't like — it's all good!

Dove chocolate is her favorite.

Ruth, Executive Manager of Housekeeping
. . . and the final word on hiring.
Fran's is her favorite, but Hershey's Kisses runs second.

Ryan, Data Entry/Inventory/Production/Mailroom
Quickest study we've ever seen. Learns it, does it, and is ready for the next assignment — wherever he's needed.
Ryan's favorite is Reese's Peanut Butter Cups — good choice!

LaShay, Office Assistant / Production
Keeps all our easy to forget jobs from slipping through the cracks and is a serious eliminator of the "to file" piles.
All chocolate is good.

Paul, Production, recycling manager and more
Practices weight lifting with Boxes and Bottles, assembles your five-packs and nine-packs and kits, and then feeds the birds! And keeps us all informed of the latest and greatest sports news and statistics.
M&Ms are Paul's favorite.

Scott, Production, recycling manager and more
Practices weight lifting with Boxes and Bottles, assembles your five-packs and nine-packs and kits, and then feeds the birds! And keeps us entertained and serenaded with those oldies Elvis hits.
Scott likes Hershey's dark chocolate Kisses the most.

Miles, Our Mascot
Resident vegetarian, meeting and lunchtime referee.
Miles likes chocolate-dipped hibiscus flowers — what iguana wouldn't?!?

Toby, Support Staff
Official Squirrel Chaser
Toby would probably eat anything chocolate-covered if we let him —
which we won't. So it's California Natural Biscuits for him.

Mollie, Support Staff
Ms. Mischievous
Isn't she cute? She loves chocolate-covered fingers.
