Owner and chocolatier, Brooke Willis began her chocolate journey while living abroad in England. A non-chocolate lover at the time, Brooke found herself instantly hooked while learning about fine chocolate in a truffle workshop she attended to make truffles for her chocoholic husband's birthday present. She decided to use her remaining time abroad to travel all of Europe tasting, and learning about fine European chocolate and talking with the different chocolatiers in all the countries she visited. She enrolled in Ecole Chocolat as a guilty pleasure to learn more about chocolate and to pass the time while her husband was deployed, not thinking it would end up being her career one day. 

​

Once settled back home in America, in her native state of Texas, Brooke began making bonbons and truffles as a fun hobby using the fine chocolates she had become acquainted with in Europe. It turns out, Texans loved it as much as she did.  Brooke has combined her love for European chocolates with her down home Texas roots to create some of her most loved treats: Texas 'rita Bark, Texas Turtles, The Odd Duck Coffee Truffle make with locally roasted Odd Duck Coffee Mexico Beans. 

B Cocoa began in Brooke's home kitchen in 2014 and within a few years she had converted a 3,000 square foot bank into an artisan chocolate shop in the heart of downtown Wichita Falls, TX. In spring of 2024 Brooke made the decision to close her full time retail and focus in her family. But not to worry, you can still catch season pop-ups from Brooke during the fall and winter months. 

​​

When Brooke is not in the kitchen, she is wife to her chocolate loving hubby Marc, a Southwest Airlines pilot and Mama to two teens as well as resident snuggler of her: 3 cats, 3 dogs, 3 goats, 2 horses and a handful of free-loading chickens where she runs a quaint hobby farm.
