Maria Valente’s mother’s gift of an almost-too-pretty-to-eat chocolate hen one Easter started her obsession with beautiful chocolates. Maria turned a hobby into a cottage industry while her children were small. She took a detour to law school and after graduating, realized her true passion still was with chocolate. Maria opened her first shop, Chocolations, 10 years ago and the shop she currently is in for 6 years now is 4 times the size of the original, and allowed her to expand the product line and host children’s parties. Maria gives back to the community by taking in interns and participating in mentoring programs as well as mentoring other women entrepreneurs. Her truffles have been named the Best of Westchester and the shop is a multi-year winner of the Best of Westchester Award.
