Fine Hand-Crafted Chocolates

made from the finest
chocolate and fresh
ingredients available

Visit our online store to see our selection of delectable chocolates & confections!

At Sweet Gem Confections we create premium hand-crafted chocolates and confections starting with the most important ingredient: CHOCOLATE.  The very best cacao comes from chocolatiers who are deeply connected with the growing, harvesting, fermenting, drying and roasting processes.  These dedicated chocolatiers transform the cacao beans into the base chocolate used in our exclusive recipes. 

Our truffles are created and inspired by the natural flavors of the seasons, as well as by your suggestions and feedback.  Our expertise lies in enhancing the already amazing flavors of expertly created chocolate with infusions made from local, organic, farm-fresh cream and butter...fresh local fruits and herbs... exotic teas and spices... and choice spirits from around the world.  Our chocolates are 100% preservative free, so we ask that you think of them as you would fresh produce.  They will be best enjoyed at room temperature within days of receipt.  Thank you for choosing Sweet Gem Confections.  We take great pleasure in bringing you
joy through chocolate!
   

About Sweet Gem Confections

Sweet Gem Confections is a small artisan chocolate shop located in Ann Arbor, Michigan inside the Morgan & York fine wine and specialty foods store on Packard Road.  We create fine and delectable hand-crafted chocolates and confections in small batches.  We seek out and use only the very best ingredients available, using chocolate produced by the best chocolate manufacturers from around the world who produce complex and distinctive flavored chocolates from single origins and carefully grown theobroma cacao.

The chocolate that we use changes often as we experiment with both small artisan chocolate makers such as Steve De Vries out of Denver, and large and famous manufacturers such as Valrhona and Michel Cluizel from France, E.Guittard from California, and El Rey of Venezuela.  Of course the chocolate we secure contains only pure cacao liqueur, sugar, milk, fats from cocoa butter, and sometimes vanilla. The dark chocolate contains between 64% - 85% pure cocoa liqueur, and the milk between 38 - 45%. To this we add fresh cream, real butter, fresh fruit purees, nuts, spices, herbs, espresso, and top-shelf liqueurs from around the world. We create complex and distinctively flavored chocolates that capture subtle flavor notes for a perfect chocolate tasting experience.  Our chocolates are 100% preservative free and we suggest that you think of these chocolates like you would fresh produce.  Enjoy them at room temperature within days of receipt!

Our chocolate confections are made to order by Nancy Biehn, cec (Chief Executive Chocolatier) who started a serious love affair with chocolate while living in Spain.  With a passion for making great food and a love for chocolate, she has combined self-determination with technical training to create sweet gems of fine confection made by hand in small batches just for you!

We invite you to indulge in the “food of the gods!”
