As many college students do, Chrissie Moses took a job to help college costs and began working in a quaint shop named Chocolate’s Plus in Chappaqua, New York. She was trained in a variety of chocolate making techniques that she would use daily. To this day, she still considers this job to be one of her favorites. Who would have known that over 30 years later, she would take her passion for chocolate and share it with thousands of children.
The same year she received her first teaching position in the Lakeland School District, she was invited to join their after-school program. Creating a club about her passion for chocolate was a no-brainer, and so The Chocolate Club was born. It was a hit with children and parents almost immediately. Those children who participated spent an hour after school making a wide variety of chocolate treats. From chocolate covered pretzels to chocolate lollipops, the sky was the limit, and the children loved every confectionary they brought home to their families. Of course, being a teacher, she also built in knowledge of how chocolate changes its states, and how chocolate is made from bean to bar.
Chrissie’s teaching path changed when she received an elementary teaching position in Pleasantville. In her first year at Bedford Road School, she brought The Chocolate Club to the school’s community. It did not take long before the club’s popularity yielded waiting lists. The club’s offerings expanded from sweet treats to delicious desserts.
In the fall of 2023, Chrissie took her chocolate club private, The Chocolate Club Plus LLC. She expanded her offerings to chocolate clubs, private parties, and full-day chocolate camps. Her philosophy is to give the participants an amazing chocolate experience while also providing parents a place for their kids to go when school is out. The greatest compliment she could ever receive from her families is that going to Chocolate Club Plus is like going to grandma’s house but with lots of chocolate!
