Our Family to yours
FireLilly Gourmet Chocolates is a family owned boutique in Toledo, Ohio that concentrates on doing one product and one product right. Each one of our Truffle Cones is hand crafted with highest quality ingredients that look, smell and taste delicious. You can find chocolate anywhere, but you’ll only find Truffle Cones at FireLilly Chocolates. Truffle Cones - a unique blend of chocolate and crunch.

Why?
Quite simply we wanted to do something different and delicious. Something to make you stop in your tracks, something that your palette would remember for years to come, a timeless confectionary creation.

We’ve combined the world’s finest chocolates from the most exotic locations with the delicate taste and crunch of a mini-waffle cone. The same kind you used to eat as a kid. The two form an epicurean partnership that leaves your taste buds pleading for more. Smooth truffle filling satiates your sense of taste and the crunch, ohhhh the crunch, do we have to say more?

Where did the idea come from?
We get asked that a lot so we had to do some reflecting. I guess it all started as a child. My mother - born, bred, and raised in Germany used to pile Nutella on everything. For breakfast she would slather a piece of toast and that was how we got a jump start on the day. That taste for chocolate never fell by the roadside. The Truffle cone was a natural extension from my upbringing. We just took it a step further.

The Picasso Story
You hear dream come true stories everyday but this one happened to us. I grew up in a family that was centered around the arts. My father was a Latin American art broker and would travel back and forth between North and South America. Many years after I flew the coupe this association with art poked its head back into my own family's life.

I received a call from a friend who wondered if we knew anyone that could move a master works painting. He was kind of vague and for good reason. Let me insert here that in my later life, I have never sold, produced, collected or surrounded myself with art since I was a child. I told my buddy about my father's intermingling in the art community and decided to give pop a call. "Dad I've got someone who wants to move a Master Works painting". His reply "One out of every million deals like these ever pans out so don't get too excited". I didn't.

Come to find out that my buddy knew a guy, who knew a guy, who knew a guy, who's cousin had an original Picasso they just had to sell. I called dad back up and although he'd been out of the business for many years threw me a long shot phone number. Did it pan out? It sure did!! After contacting an art dealer in California we found a buyer.

Let me repeat... this was such a long shot that we probably had better chance of finding a winning lottery ticket laying on the sidewalk. My family lives an honest and frugal life and would never have had the means to make FireLilly Chocolates become a reality. The residuals that came from the sale of this painting catapulted us into a dream come true. One day we are going to dedicate a signature line of chocolates to the artist that made our life what it is today.
