Ethel M Chocolates Factory

Established in 1981.

In the arid Mojave Desert, just outside of Las Vegas, is an unexpected oasis of fresh-crafted gourmet chocolate making.

Welcome to Ethel m Chocolates. Surrounded by a botanical cactus garden of rare scale and beauty, you will find delicious, preservative-free chocolates passionately made fresh by the Mars family.

Inspired by Ethel Mars' pursuit of the perfect chocolate, Forrest Mars Sr. created Ethel M, named in his mother's honor in 1981. Using her timeless recipes, Forrest set out with a vision to share the joy of fresh-crafted quality chocolates and went to great lengths to uphold Ethel's high standards of quality.

Today, Ethel M Chocolates are still crafted in small batches with the freshest and finest ingredients and never with unnatural preservatives for a uniquely fresh flavor and texture. Our philosophy of delivering remarkable quality in every piece of chocolate continues from over 30 years ago.

They make premium, preservative-free chocolate just a few miles off the Las Vegas Strip!
