Founded along the banks of Rio De Las Animas Perdidas (The River of Lost Souls), Animas Chocolate Company creates handcrafted chocolate; both bean to bar and couverture. Whatever your pleasure, we invite you to…
When embarking on a journey down a river, it is imperative that you know what to expect, and to choose a river and rapids that are to your ability and liking. We feel handcrafted chocolate is the same way, which is why our products are rated just like river rapids: Class I-V.
Class I is the easiest, most gentle and Class V is made for those with a truly adventurous spirit

Head Chocolatier and Co-Owner of ACC, Carley Snider once worked at a remote tourist getaway in the heart of the Weminuche Wilderness along the upper section of the Animas River. Located over 30 miles from civilization, it was accessible only by foot, historic narrow gauge rail line or helicopter. While there, Carley stumbled upon an old, worn leather recipe book that contained family recipes for truffles, assorted handcrafted chocolates and other baked goods. With her longtime interest in baking and an entrepreneurial spirit, the seed for Animas Chocolate Company was planted in Carley’s mind… We honor the legacy of that book by naming all of our truffles for an element along the Animas River corridor.
We love chocolate, coffee, cocktails, wine, our community, our staff, baked goods, being outside, going on adventures, and we really love sharing images of all of those things with you! Check out our Instagram feed below, and even better yet, share your images with us too!
