Chief Chocolatier & Co-Founder

The love of cooking came first - decades of creating exquisite edibles in the kitchen. Then the discovery of fine chocolate and - wow! This love of chocolate and the art of creating with it became Driftless Chocolates in 2019.

Stan earned his certification for chocolatiering from Ecole Chocolat and taps into his natural abilities in science and his honed flavor instincts to work with fine chocolate, so simple...yet so very complex.

Stan loves being an artisan and he loves making people happy with his chocolate creations.

President & Co-Founder

A healthy small business partnership works especially well when each partner has deep expertise that complements the other's strengths. Stan focuses on all things chocolate. Robyn focuses on growing the business, the behind-the-scenes work so necessary for business health and vitality. And she loves it as it feeds her entrepreneurial spirit perfectly.

Robyn started Kitson Marketing in 1987 and Stan joined her in 1990. The two ventured into web applications together with InTimeTools in 2001.

So in 2019, a fine chocolate company seemed the obvious choice!

When you walk into our shop, you'll be met with friendly smiles and a warm welcome. Our team is dedicated to making every customer feel right at home, helping them navigate our broad selection of fine chocolates and offering personalized recommendations to create a truly unique chocolate experience.

In our shop, we have a "build your own box" case, displaying the wide array of fine chocolate we offer and you can create the box with flavors chosen especially for you...or that special someone.

Talented and Dedicated Staff

Back in the kitchen, our team is equally passionate about the production of our chocolates.

From enrobing to decorating to fulfillment to servicing customers to joking around, they craft each piece with care and precision. The result is a range of exquisite, handcrafted chocolates that reflect our dedication to quality and craftsmanship.

So, whether it's the warm welcome or the delectable chocolates, our team's commitment shines through in every aspect of our business, truly encapsulating our tagline, "Chocolates bring us together!"
