Currently in a Chocolate Coma 🍫

We visited Maribea and took a tour of how they create their fresh craft chocolate & we'd like say we're BIG fans! Did you know it takes 400 cacao beans to make 1 pound of chocolate? Maribea sources each bean to get you those amazing unique flavors they create.

You will find loads of different flavors of chocolate at Maribea without all the additional unwanted chemical most factories place in their chocolate. You can shop from crafted chocolate bars, chocolate covered fruit, nuts, teas, coffees, & more.

🏆 Maribea was Voted Best Candy/Chocolate in The Reader's 2022 Choice, Best of the Permian Basin for the Odessa American

Did we mention you can also get your chocolate delivered straight to you through uber eats and doordash?

📍 7200 Sprauge Rd

Happy #NationalInternDay - time to show off our summer intern, Analise! 💙

“My favorite thing about working with the Odessa Chamber was the professional work environment as well as the collaboration that I got to experience with others. Whether it be the clear instructions I received to start a project or the constructive feedback, it was a very good and appreciated experience. After graduating in August from the University of Texas of the Permian Basin with a BA in Art and a minor in Computer Science, I will be attending Sam Houston State University to pursue my master’s degree in Art & Social Practice with an emphasis in Graphic Design. I will also be playing my 5th year of volleyball on the university’s team. During the four years I have been out here in Odessa the spot I most found myself at was the University Duck Pond, feeding the ducks, relaxing and reading a book.
I grew up in Fort Worth playing volleyball with my sisters and putting crafts together. So, it is only right that those two things brought me to the University of Texas Permian Basin to go on to study art, play for the universities team and get to experience what the city had to offer me.”
