My Story

Chocolate is happiness that you can eat.

My name is Larry Waters, the founder, and chocolatier at Yummyworks.

I started my career as a government contractor in the DC metro area and left the Government to become a stay-at-home dad for our three kids.

During this transition, I became very passionate about chocolate and confections.

Having no prior chocolate or pastry experience, I painstakingly taught myself for several years, thru trial and error. In 2018, I founded Yummyworks.

The name Yummyworks implies a workspace for confectionery creativity where we produce superior and yummy products.

Yummyworks brings together skilled artisans with a commitment to making unique products that create memorable experiences. Our chocolates are produced in the same manner as European chocolateries.

Each chocolate is individually designed, hand-crafted, and made in small batches. We take no shortcuts, use the best ingredients, and will not sacrifice quality over quantity.
