Our Fig Pumpkins are featured in 2007 and our Ladybugs in the Summer of 2008 in Oprah's "favorites" section of her magazine.

The editors at Gourmet Magazine declare Jubilee Chocolates (our old name before John & Kira's) their "favorite chocolates" and put us on the cover of their Valentine's Day magazine. Click here to see a pdf of the cover. This one put us on the map!

"Chocolate, A Love Affair" "Once a week, students at University City High School in Philadelphia fill a standing order from John & Kira's for the mint they grow. It's part of an educational gardening project sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania."

John on "A Chef's Table". "We tell stories about where the flavors and ingredients come from and the people behind the ingredients, behind the chocolates. So we try and bring the people, the growers that are producing the flavors for us, to life through the chocolate."

"Try the Boutique Tricolor Ladybugs box, with hand-painted chocolate "ladybugs" filled with raspberry, honey-lavender ganache, or garden mint."

"The most refined of the bunch, John & Kira's Chocolates, comes out of a French confectionery tradition but makes use of American flavor combinations. Square in shape and spare in aesthetic, each plain, dark morsel holds a haunting, bittersweet ganache infused with lavender honey, raspberries, orange-flower water, star anise, saffron and mint."

"Don't be thrown by the fact that all these chocolates look the same — thin squares of dark chocolate with mysterious squiggles on top — the flavors are delightfully fresh and distinct," Boyle says. "House specialties include Glenn's Raspberry (named for the flavorful raspberries grown locally at Glenn's Farm) and Drew Elementary School Garden Mint (ganache infused with mint leaves picked from a school garden)."

Our Bee My Lovebug box of Caramel Bees and Magical Ladybugs get their 15 minutes (actually about 45 seconds) of fame with Matt and the crowd on the Today Show.

"John Doyle entered the business with the idea of mimicking the chocolate he tasted on a trip to Paris, but with local Philadelphia flavors."
