Crawfordsville's Handcrafted Chocolatier
Small-batch truffles, single-origin chocolate, and moments worth savoring — crafted right here on W Main St.
Our Story
Miss Sugar Ray Chocolatier was born from a simple conviction: that the best chocolate doesn't come from a factory line. It comes from patience, from choosing the right beans, and from treating every bonbon like a small act of generosity.
Located on West Main Street in the heart of Crawfordsville, our kitchen is where whole cacao beans become something worth pausing for. We roast in small batches, conch for days, and hand-temper every piece. The result is chocolate with depth, texture, and a clarity of flavor that mass production can't replicate.
Whether you're stopping in for a single truffle on your way downtown or planning a gift that will actually be appreciated, we make it with the same standard: would we give this to someone we care about?
The Craft
Most chocolate is fast. Ours is deliberate. Here's what that looks like in practice.
We work with a small number of bean suppliers who share our standard for terroir and fermentation. The cacao you taste in our truffles comes from farms where the soil, altitude, and process produce something worth building a product around.
Every batch is roasted in small quantities so we can taste and adjust at each stage. Conching runs for 48 to 72 hours — long enough to develop complexity, short enough to preserve the bean's character. Speed is the enemy of good chocolate.
Molding, enrobing, hand-dipping, and finishing — every step that requires judgment is done by hand. Temperature, timing, and technique are what separate chocolate that tastes good from chocolate that lingers in memory.
Offerings
Seasonal rotations, classic favorites, and custom orders — all made fresh in our Crawfordsville kitchen.
Our signature line — ganache centers coated in tempered chocolate, finished by hand. Flavors rotate with the seasons, but the standard doesn't change.
Stone-ground cacao, no fillers. Mix with hot milk for something closer to dessert than a beverage. Available in dark, milk, and seasonal blends.
Bar chocolates from specific farms and regions. Each one tells the story of where the cacao grew — soil, altitude, and harvest all visible in the flavor.
Weddings, corporate gifts, holiday boxes — we build custom assortments for any occasion. Order ahead and we'll have it ready when you arrive.
