Renee Burger grew up in the culinary and ethnic mecca of New York City and is an ardent fan of its wonderfully diverse foods, especially the marvelous confections that abound there. In fact, coming from a family with strong feelings on the subject, she claims to be "genetically-driven" in her appreciation of the rich dark mysteries surrounding superb chocolate!

Always passionate about good food, Renee derives great satisfaction from creating delicacies that conjure the same rapture for others.

After moving to Vermont in the 1980s, Renee began selling Vermont Buttercrunch in five delicious flavors. Life and two children interrupted the fledgling enterprise, but now this creative entrepreneur is back in business as The Chocolate Wizard. This Web site features her incomparable Chocolate Fisch, as well as a revival of her Mocha-Hazelnut, Espresso, Alpine Almond, Bittersweet and Milk Chocolate Buttercrunch.

Renee's confections are unique and delicious, inspired by old family recipes, her own culinary genius, and her love of great food. The Chocolate Wizard brings her energy and inspiration to your table!
