Ethel M Chocolates

In 1911, a young Forrest Mars Sr. watched with intense focus as his mother, Ethel, created gourmet chocolates in their kitchen. Forrest would grow up and help launch the Mars candy empire which is recognized for modern confections like Snickers and M&Ms. 7 decades later, he honored his mother’s memory by making chocolates of his own right here in Henderson, Nevada. Today, this small factory still whips up his mother’s chocolate recipes. Traditional candies mingle nuts, crème liqueurs, and caramels with dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and truffles. Hand-selected pecans float amidst chocolate and butter in Ethel M’s fine brittles, while milk, dark, and sugar-free chocolate coats bite-sized treats such as espresso beans, nuts, and fruit. Ethel M chocolate welcomes guests to tour their chocolate factory, where chocolatiers show that sweets can be made without preservatives.
