About Us


Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm Aura, and I'm a chocolatier.

I'm lucky enough to have a small chocolate boutique that I operate with the help of my parents and our mission is to bring premium chocolate from our home country, Venezuela and power it with local ingredients of the beautiful state of Rhode Island and beyond.

Please feel free to browse our collections or to use the search tool to find any specific item you wish for. If it appears to be sold out please feel free to reach out to us with that flavor you miss :)

Most of our confections are made to order, please allow 2 weeks for production and shipping, since there's only one person in the kitchen making chocolate for retail and wholesale accounts. ** Please let us know if you need a rush order, we’ll try to accommodate it! (Additional fees might apply)**

Our Shop is Located at 250 East St. Cranston, RI 02920

Aura's Chocolate Bar

Artisan Chocolate Confections

Women owned, Family operated!

Aura's Chocolate Bar was established in September 2017 in Hope and Main a culinary incubator in Warren, Rhode Island.
But Aura's passion for chocolate began while attending Johnson and Wales University for the Baking and Pastry Arts program, during an internship at Hebert's Candy Mansion in Massachusetts, a company that has handcrafted chocolates for more than a hundred years.
Since 2013, Aura, our Chocolatier and founder, has worked exclusively in the Art of Chocolate production. Born in Venezuela, Aura gives others the experience to taste a piece of her homeland in her creations. She blends a unique combination of Venezuelan cacao, recognized as one of the best in the world, with local ingredients from New England that envelop the richness of the chocolate's taste. She also uses premium cacao from other latitudes, such as the Dominican Republic and Ecuador.
