Know before you go

Hi, I'm Eve. Here are a few practical things to know before exploring Edelweiss Chocolates.

Don't miss the chocolate-covered marshmallows, a house invention and celebrity favorite—soft, homemade marshmallows enrobed in rich milk or dark chocolate.
Try Katharine Hepburn's turtles: gooey caramel, pecans, and smooth dark chocolate for an authentic Old Hollywood treat.
Ask staff for a demo of the historic conveyor belt, the same one featured in Lucille Ball's famous 'I Love Lucy' episode.
Opt for custom gift trays with mix-and-match pieces, beautifully packaged for holidays or special occasions.

History and Heritage

Established in 1942, Edelweiss Chocolates has been a Beverly Hills cornerstone for over eight decades, captivating Hollywood's elite from Frank Sinatra to Katharine Hepburn and Lucille Ball. The shop's first owner, Grace Young, invented the iconic chocolate-covered marshmallow, still a bestseller today. Family-owned and operated, it remains one of the few U.S. confectioners crafting chocolates entirely by hand, preserving traditional Swiss-inspired techniques amid the glamour of Rodeo Drive.

Signature Confections

Step inside and be enveloped by the rich scent of melting chocolate. Edelweiss excels in chocolate-dipped fruits, nuts, and homemade marshmallows. Favorites include Sinatra's maple creams, Hepburn's dark chocolate turtles with pecans and caramel, and Spelling's chocolate-covered marshmallows. Dark chocolate orange slices offer a zesty crunch, while chocolate-covered apricots and pretzels deliver decadent balance. All pieces are handmade on-site, ensuring freshness and superior quality that rivals European chocolatiers.

The Shop Experience

The elegantly decorated interior evokes old Hollywood charm, with display cases brimming with glossy truffles, gift baskets, and custom trays.
