From RTD:

Walker started Chocolates By Kelly in 2009. Before then she had been making chocolate on a part-time basis, selling it wholesale.

“I converted the back bedroom of my house into a kitchen,” she said. “My first customer was The Wine Cellar in Midlothian.”

In 2007, when she was making chocolates part time, she was using almost 200 pounds of chocolate in a year. By 2010, she was up to 2,000 pounds, and now she goes through 5,000 pounds in a year.

We’re a big fan of Kelly’s chocolate so it’s always nice to see more attention thrown her way. You can also read the profile we did on Kelly back in February of last year.
