Storyline Chocolates is a family-owned Connecticut chocolate company that pairs handcrafted chocolate with original romantic travel stories to create immersive tasting experiences. Founded by sister-and-brother team Michelle Augustyn and Michael Ouimette, the brand brings together storytelling, flavor, and sensory discovery in every Chocolate Story.
Michelle Augustyn is a Co-Founder and Chief Storyteller at Storyline Chocolates. The company is a passion project inspired by a healthy obsession with chocolate, travel, and a dream of being a published writer since childhood. After a career in the mission-driven nonprofit sector, completing doctoral studies in management, and attending École Chocolat's Online Chocolatier School, she decided to create a company that combines her love of chocolate and a good story, while giving back to important charitable causes in her local community.
Michael Ouimette is a Co-Founder and the culinary creative behind Storyline Chocolates. With over twelve years of experience in the restaurant industry, he worked his way up the ranks to Restaurant Manager and Trainer. He is also the three-time champion of the annual family cooking competition. Mike has fully embraced the exacting nature of chocolate, mastering the art of tempering and recipe creation. In Storyline Chocolates, he pushes the boundaries of flavor and mouthfeel to create a sensory experience that matches the moment in the story where readers are prompted to taste our fine bars. Mike is our proud Chocolate Juggernaut.
Based in Rocky Hill, Connecticut, Storyline Chocolates creates small-batch, story-led chocolate experiences for readers, chocolate lovers, and gift-givers seeking something more immersive.
Our mission is to create meaningful chocolate experiences that delight customers, spark imagination, and inspire fellow social entrepreneurs to build impactful businesses—so that together, we can be a catalyst for positive social change.
We invite you to escape into flavor and savor the story!
Cheers!
Michelle and Michael
