NYDC Chocolate Company Profile
Back in 1995, we (just call us Max and Ally) started an award-winning dessert cafe restaurant called NYDC. We wanted to create a place where people could connect, share their joy, let their hair down; enjoy great food, good friends. Personally, we have a deep love for food. We love to cook, bake, and make chocolate and we do it with joy. The root of our love for great food is the way it brings families and friends together and cements our relationships with each other. From the time we started NYDC, we believed that we could play a small part in uniting the people of the world. Through the golden link of food, we come together. These days, we are expressing our creativity through chocolate more than any other food, and we love to share it. Cocopotamus is a line of all natural, gourmet, handmade chocolate - artisanal dark chocolate fudge, to be precise. Our idea is to create a fun, modern twist on old-fashioned fudge using the best ingredients from many cultures in America. Cocopotamus fudge is not like the fudge you may remember. The concept is to take that old-school fudge and twist it in a modern direction.
