“I’d like to share with you a truly exquisite chocolate experience – entirely unique and original. I make no compromises in applying the highest standards of excellence to each and every step of the chocolate-making process. The end result is chocolates that look as beautiful as they taste.”

Fritz Knipschildt
Founder and Maitre Chocolatier

Knipschildt Chocolatier makes top-quality artisanal chocolates and confections, using classic recipes with a modern twist. The look, the taste, the names, and the boxes all contribute to the very personal, special, and delicious Knipschildt chocolate experience.

  • The Look: The chocolates are hand-molded and hand-rolled with an artistic flair that is reflected in their original yet classic designs.
  • The Taste: The highest quality ingredients deliver richer and deeper flavors. Only the best ingredients from around the world are used, including Valrhona chocolate, Spanish almonds, and Jamaican rum.
  • The Names: The names Fritz chooses for his chocolates -- Patricia, Keiko, Madeleine, Stacey, Cleopatra -- and their catchy descriptions reflect his unique and fun approach to chocolate making.
  • The Boxes: The chocolates are presented in hand-made boxes that make perfect gifts or mementos. Fritz believes packaging that is as unique and artistic as his chocolates helps create an experience that stimulates all the senses.
