Pleasant Grove • With a name like the Truffle Cottage, you might be surprised at how this Pleasant Grove custom chocolate business made a name for itself.
Hint: It had very little to do with hearts or flowers, and very much to do with superheroes and frozen Han Solos.
The Truffle Cottage has been quietly operating since 2013 in the basement of Jennie Hales' 150-year-old home in Pleasant Grove. In her commercial kitchen there, she creates custom chocolate truffle creations that regularly sell out at comic fan conventions across the nation.
After first sharing her uniquely-flavored truffles with family and friends, she did a booth five years ago at Strawberry Days, Pleasant Grove's city celebration.
