Sheila Kearns Chocolate

San Luis Obispo Chocolatier Melts Hearts in William Sonoma Holiday Catalogue

Story by Aja Goare

Fans of luxury chocolate can now find the creations of San Luis Obispo chocolatier Sheila Kearns at William Sonoma. 

The California-based home goods and gifts company recently began selling Sheila’s gift boxes and, just in time for the holiday season, her tree-shaped chocolate charcuterie board.

Sheila Kearns, whose shop is located on Marsh Street, says her ambitions to sell decadent chocolates like her dark chocolate peanut butter olallieberry or cinnamon roll bonbons is influenced by four generations of family. “With two Parisian Aunts, one a pastry chef & the other a chocolatier, it just runs in the family,” she notes on her website.

Sets on offer at William Sonoma are limited compared to Sheila’s in-store selection, but include six different items for purchase. The chocolate Parisian-style cherries, dark chocolate olallieberry lips, assorted chocolates, and two earlier mentioned bonbons are all available on the website.
