Crafted with painstaking attention to detail, flavor and quality, Whimsy believes great chocolate is about more than just great taste.

Purdys
Purdys is a Canadian chocolatier with a rich history. Richard Carmon Purdy started selling homemade chocolates in downtown Vancouver in 1907.

In addition to their purchases of sustainable cocoa, Purdys has engaged their customers to help support cocoa farming communities. Purdys Clean Water Project has supported the delivery of over 100 water filters to schools and health centers in Ivory Coast.
