5 Questions With Paul Jensen, Owner of Chocolate Madness
How much chocolate are you making?
Right now we are going through anywhere between 1,000 to 1,300 pounds of chocolate each day.
Do you enjoy this season, or is it overwhelming?
I love seeing everyone walk out of here with a smile on their face.
What’s your favorite item?
I love all of it. And I love seeing all of it go out the door.
You must get some interesting insights into relationships this time of year.
One year this guy came in trying to buy a present for his wife. I asked him what kind of chocolate she liked and he said he didn’t know. “How long have you been married?” I asked. His answer: “27 years.”
How do you celebrate when the season is over?
My real busy season begins on September 1st and doesn’t end until after Easter. So once Easter is over, I sit at home with a nice bottle of Scotch.
