Ooty Homemade Chocolates

We've been making these chocolates at our place on Gandhi Road for a good while now. Most people around Velachery know where we are. It is just a small setup here at No 64, nothing too fancy or professional-looking. We do what we call homemade stuff, kind of like what you see in Ooty. The kitchen gets really busy in the mornings because that is when we start melting everything down and getting the mixtures right. Sometimes the smell of the cocoa travels right out the door and down the street, which I guess lets people know we are open. We started out small and we have stayed that way on purpose because it is much easier to keep an eye on things when you aren’t trying to run a huge factory. You can usually find one of us behind the counter if you drop by during the day. The weather here in Chennai isn't exactly like the cool hills of Ooty, so we have to be really careful with how we store everything so the chocolates don't melt too fast. We just pack them in simple boxes without any flashy labels. It’s just us doing what we know how to do. If you walk past Gandhi Road, you’ll see our sign. It isn’t a big shop, but we’re here most days. People stop in after work or when they’re heading home to pick up a box for their kids or a gift. We keep the counters clean and just stick to the recipes we’ve used for years.
