Unapologetically opulent bon bons by Brian Holm. Experience the finest luxury chocolates crafted with uncompromising excellence and uncompromising attention to detail.
ORDER LUXURYAt Pretentious Chocolates, we believe chocolate should be both an art and a bit of mischief. Founded by passionate chocolatier Brian Holm, our bon bons are crafted with care, curiosity, and just enough flair to make each piece feel special.
We use thoughtfully chosen ingredients — from rich cocoa and bright fruits to saffron, pistachio, and even a whisper of absinthe — to create flavors that are elegant without being stuffy. Every bon bon is hand-finished, blending classic technique with a playful imagination.
Our philosophy is simple: take chocolate seriously, but never take ourselves too seriously. Because indulgence should be delicious, beautiful, and just a little pretentious.
Discover our exclusive collection of luxury bon bons, each crafted with the finest ingredients and uncompromising attention to detail.
Take a visual journey through our chocolate artistry. Each bon bon is a masterpiece of flavor and design, crafted to perfection.

What people are saying about our bon bons. Spoiler alert: they're pretty pretentious about how good they are.
Okay, I'm officially ruined for regular chocolate. The Velvet Noir? Absolutely divine. I may have eaten the entire box in one sitting and I'm not even sorry. Brian, you've created a monster.
I bought these for my wife's birthday and now she won't stop talking about them. The Midnight in Marrakech? She's convinced I'm trying to seduce her with chocolate. She's not wrong. Mission accomplished, Brian.
The Green Fairy bon bon? I'm pretty sure it's illegal in some states. That absinthe whisper is dangerously good. My friends think I've developed an expensive chocolate habit. They're not wrong, but I'm not stopping.
I'm a chef and I'm supposed to be critical about food, but these bon bons? I have nothing. The Barcelona Flame with smoked paprika? That's not chocolate, that's art. My ego is bruised and my taste buds are grateful.
My therapist says I need to work on my impulse control. Then I discovered the Golden Kiss bon bon and now I'm questioning everything. That salted caramel situation? It's therapy in chocolate form. Sorry, Dr. Smith.
I'm supposed to be on a diet. Then I tried the Whispering Woods bon bon and now I'm questioning my life choices. That hazelnut praline with pine and honey? It's like eating a forest in the best possible way. My diet can wait.
Bon Bons are available through special orders and at pop-ups around Dallas.
