Today we’d like to introduce you to Paul McMahon.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Paul. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
The Happy Chocolatier™, founded in June 2011, spreads happiness with high-quality, all natural truffle Cubze™ and other chocolate confections, as well as an exceptional customer experience. Our signature chocolates, Cubze, are unique truffles in a cube shape. Each Cubze piece is coated in chocolate and hand foiled along with an inspirational message about happiness. They provide a delicious and memorable experience for the consumer.
The Cubze are made with high-quality ingredients and are available in a delicious variety of flavors including cappuccino, chocolate, cookies & cream, cranberry, mint, peanut butter, raspberry and sea salt, coated in either milk or dark chocolate. People can enjoy a single piece or share the happiness by giving Cubze as a gift.
The Cubze and other fine chocolates are available in single-serving sizes and in attractive, eye-catching boxes for gift giving. The Happy Chocoaltier truffle Cubze are available at our shop in Acton and at a variety of other gourmet food and gift outlets.
Cubze, unique cube-shaped truffles, are smooth, creamy and extraordinarily rich in taste. They are made from only the finest ingredients including heavy cream, butter, sugar, rich chocolate and high-quality flavorings. The signature truffle Cubze are single-serving pieces coated in rich milk or dark chocolate. The chocolate coating balances the rich, creamy center and makes our Cubze unique and pleasing to the palate.
All of our truffle Cubze are hand foiled and contain an inspirational quote about happiness as an added treat! People often tell us the little cards with the happy wisdom are something they keep — taping on a phone or laptop, putting in a milk bottle in the kitchen window, taping the refrigerator and evening pinning to the wall in their workplace.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Creating a new product and developing a new brand is a challenge on a good day. Doing so with very limited resources made it even tougher.
Retail sales are certainly being challenged by the number of online choices and convenience of online purchases.
