"The 58th annual Grammy Awards will have a distinct Memphis flavor this year. Memphis-based chocolatier Phillip Ashley Rix has been named the Official Chocolatier of the Grammy Awards Gift Lounge. Rix’s exclusive 23-Karat Gold Salted Caramel Pecan Praline will also be a featured parting gift for guests of the official Grammy Celebration. The Grammy Awards will be held Feb. 5.

Rix handcrafts each praline using a rare purple bean cacao, roasted Mississippi Delta pecans and Fleur de Sel. Each praline is laced with 23-karat gold leaf, and the 68 percent single origin dark chocolate shell is finished with 23-karat gold dust. Each piece retails for $79.

...

“I have tried many chocolates in my lifetime; many of which claim to be the best, finest or most delicious. Those superlatives do, in fact, apply to Phillip Ashley Chocolates!” said Lash Fary, founder of Distinctive Assets. “So I am thrilled that official Grammy Celebration guests will be going home with this sweetest of treats at the end of Music’s Biggest Night.”"

Philip is also well involved in the community doing a lot of good. He's a tiger fan (saw him at football games when he was not working Saturdays) and all around nice guy. His business has been featured in Forbes and other publications.

And his chocolate will get you out of all but the worst screw ups with your woman!

Unless she jumps all over you for paying that much for chocolate.

Regardless, this is a very cool honor for Phillip Ashley. Very happy to hear it.

Don't know what that number would be but I think he's doing quite well - he does chocolates for high end hotels in Vegas and has a ton of business.
