Emeryville's Charles Chocolates is Google's Willy Wonka

Charles Chocolates is the official Chocolatier for Google, providing bite-sized goodness to all of Google's employees around the Google campus... and of course this is free to their employees as is all their food.

Since Charles Chocolates was founded in 2004 in the San Francisco suburb of Emeryville, sales have soared, with revenues on track to double to more than $3 million in 2008. That growth rate far outpaces that of the premium sector, which grew 29% in 2007, according to AC Nielsen. The overall packaged chocolate market, meanwhile, grew 4.2%.
Nice work Chuck! If you haven't had a chance to check it out, I would recommend stopping by, they have a really nice little shop at the factory where you can buy (and taste) some of their creations.
