ONE SWEET STORY
On February 1, 2008 owner and chocolatier Darlynne Overbaugh made a sweet dream a reality when Life’s So Sweet Chocolates opened its retail store, manufacturing facility and online store (www.LifesSoSweet.com) at 27 West Main Street in Trumansburg. Darlynne and her family have been creating candies and chocolate recipes for over 20 years. Today these delights are enjoyed throughout the Finger Lakes, available at a variety of locations. Factory tours, chocolate workshops, and options for weddings, corporate gifts and fundraising are available. |
At Life’s So Sweet, chocolate lovers enjoy more than a Balsamic Vinegar Truffle or Taughannock Toad - they share in Life’s So Sweet’s passion:
Passion for Chocolate: Truly hand-crafted delights made with real chocolate, fresh ingredients and chocolate sourced responsibly (addressing issues of pricing, farming practices and child labor).
Passion for Honesty – An active member of Retail Confectioners International, Life’s So Sweet hand crafts 70% of its chocolate creations. Everything else is sourced from family owned businesses.
Passion for the Finger Lakes – Respecting natural beauty must inspire creative and responsible practices. Our packaging gives you more chocolate and less waste as it is made with recyclable, bio-degradable and/or reusable materials.
Passion for Community – A non-profit organization is assisted every month and children always receive a discount on factory tours.
Passion for the Sweet Life – A chocolate for everyone! Over 50 varieties of chocolates, traditional classic candies and allergen free delights are available year round. |

Life's So Sweet is unique because it offers both hand crafted artisan chocolates and classic candies. We like to live on the edge, the cutting edge, of flavor:
-
The Aztec Truffle - A rich dark cocoa ganache infused with a special blend of chili powders
-
FRESH Fruit & Chocolate - We only use in-season local fruit for this combination because anything else is just not worth your time June-September and upon special request
-
-
Chocolate Tours - Our chocolate tasting tours allow you visit our manufacturing facility and savor our artisan chocolates and classic candies at the same time. Reservations highly recommended. “Chocolate has been both a tradition and creative outlet in my life and that’s what I chose to found my business upon. My ultimate hope is that you enjoy eating these chocolates as much as I have enjoyed creating them for you!” ~ Darlynne Overbaugh, Owner of Life’s So Sweet Chocolates |
