On Your Mark Chocolatiers was developed after a year of skill acquisition and product development. After many trainings and chocolate classes we learned the necessary chocolatier techniques and modified them to create meaningful jobs opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in conjunction with producing high quality confections.
OYM Chocolatiers features handcrafted milk, dark, and vanilla bean white chocolate in a winding array of products including barks, bars, truffles, chocolate covered goods, and seasonal specials.
Our individuals and staff take pride in every step of the process from production to packaging as well as, excellent customer service. Whether it’s a walk-in or custom order, we’re delighted to work with you!
