Jinju Chocolates - Las Vegas

Tucked away on the 2nd floor of The Container Park is this excellent little chocolatier. A perfect spot for someone looking for that 'mini dessert ' treat after a meal. <br/ <br/ But don 't expect 'froo-froo ' bon Bon type chocolates that rely on sugary fillings. This place is all about the chocolate! Yes they have the bon bons. But Chocolate is king here. The fillings are an after thought. They even have wide selection of gourmet, high cocoa chocolate bars. <br/ <br/ Organic, fair trade and locally manufactured. Definitely a place to support.

So forgetful. Owner Jin Caldwell greeted us warmly on entering. Her background includes 7 years as Master Chocolateer at Ethel M's before opening her own business in 2011 that continues to sell directly to high end casinos and the public online and via catalogs. We each chose a dark chocolate truffle – my wife's was cappucino, mine salted caramel. We normally share such treats so each has a taste, but I forgot and woofed mine down and then, can you believe this, she refused to share hers. Both were excellent and likely will be reordered the next time we visit downtown.

Found this little shop on the second floor of the Container Park. This store offers a variety of chocolate truffles and chocolate bars, great gift boxes. The truffle was less than $2 a piece if I remember correctly, which was reasonable in comparison to most other stores. We tried the 3 spice chili truffle (my favorite, interesting and subtle spice flavor with a good kick , PB&J truffle (tasted like the sandwich but needed more jelly , and the Matcha truffle (white chocolate with Matcha inside of a dark chocolate shell, I got tricked!

This is the best chocolate shop in the Vegas. The truffles are unreal. The PBJ cake is one of my favorites and the small packaged chocolate bars are great. I reccomend the Red Rock. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. So happy I found this hidden gem.

So glad I found this little shop. Great customer service, sample offered right away. Helpful finding what I was looking for. Pretty good deals considering. It's on the second floor of the Container Store Park.
