The Amber Lyn Story: From Cop to Chocolatier

The quest for a more healthy but great tasting low-carb chocolate led to the birth of Amber Lyn Chocolates in 1999. It all started with a retired cop.

Lyman Peterson was a Utah highway patrolman who spent a career busting DUI’s, admonishing speeders and helping damsels in distress change flat tires. But chocolate was his real passion. After patrolling the highways and byways of the Wild West for 30 years and putting on as many pounds, he retired. He searched for low-carb, sugar free chocolate that tasted like real chocolate. Most of what he found was awful and he found nothing to satisfy his craving for good tasting, high quality chocolate.

The search continued and finally led to Belgium, the center of the chocolate universe. There he found the object of his quest: pure ,high quality chocolate with no fillers or preservatives. It was rich, smooth and high in healthy antioxidants. It was sugar free– but didn’t taste that way. It was also lower in calories, lower in carbohydrates and contained no gluten. Using a second-hand melter in his basement he began pouring and hand-wrapping chocolate bars. When demand reached 10,000 bars a week it was time to take the next step.

The new company moved out of the basement and acquired several commercial melters and a high-speed wrapper. Named after Peterson’s only daughter, Amber Lyn Chocolates has established itself as the preferred source of sugar-free and no sugar added chocolate for thousands of devoted chocolate lovers from across the USA and abroad.

Recently, I had the wonderful chance to try out some of their chocolates:
