My name is Jessica Spaulding, life-long Harlem resident and chocolate lover. I grew up in an anti-sugar home but there was one exception to this rule, CHOCOLATE, and not just any chocolate high-quality chocolate. My mother knew the higher the quality of the chocolate the lower the sugar and better the flavor. I became obsessed. She’d take me to every chocolate show and I learned about chocolate from around the world. Starting in 2015 Harlem Chocolate Factory is an artisan chocolate company where we convey the various cultural experiences of Harlem through our chocolate products. We started with the names of iconic Harlem destinations and historical sites, such as Stivers' Row and the Pan-Pan diner developed recipes that could tell the story. We are lovers of Harlem & Chocolate, sharing our love for Harlem & Chocolate. Our goal is to bring diverse voices to the forefront of the chocolate industry
