###Five Things to Know About Chocolati Handmade Chocolate Chocolati Handmade Chocolates began squashing sweets cravings in 2000. The company’s history, however, stretches back decades before that. Here are a few things to know before you chomp into one of their chocolaty treasures. * **It was formerly known as Sutliff Candy & Promotions.** That company was established in 1938, and is perhaps best-remembered for producing the gourmet “Habits” chocolates that were sold exclusively by Nordstrom in the early 1980s. * **Christian Wong bought the company and changed its name in 2000.** Equipped with a degree in business finance from Seattle University, Christian exited the corporate world after a few years to pursue his chocolaty ambitions. * **All the chocolates are handmade with natural ingredients.** It’s an old-fashioned process, sure, but it enables Chocolati to churn out multi-sensory treats that offer something special from the first bite to the aftertaste. * **Chocolate-dipped fortune cookies are also available.** Baked fresh and hand-dipped, these cookies can contain personalized fortunes, such as “You will reacquaint with an old friend” or “You are about to be pancaked by a cartoon anvil.” * **Chocolati cafes are peppered across Seattle.** At each location, skilled baristas craft custom blends of hot chocolate, mocha, and other chocolate-infused espresso beverages.
