About Us
Our Story
Twin Sisters Chocolates is a small, distinctive chocolate business founded by Steven Kimbrough. Raised in the Deer Park, Texas area, Steven grew up with a love of cooking—and an even greater love of chocolate.
Food and family have always been closely connected in Steven’s life. His grandparents on both sides of the family shared a passion for baking and cooking, while his mother has been one of the greatest influences on his creativity in the kitchen. Those family traditions, recipes, flavors, and memories continue to inspire Twin Sisters Chocolates today.
At the heart of Twin Sisters Chocolates is a simple idea: chocolate should do more than taste good—it should bring back a memory.
From the flavors of a favorite childhood candy or a dessert served at a family gathering to tastes inspired by life here in Texas, each creation is designed to feel both familiar and unexpected.
Our goal is to create handcrafted chocolates that bring a little joy, spark a fond memory, and perhaps even become part of a new tradition.

Why “Twin Sisters”?
A name rooted in the Texas Revolution
The Twin Sisters were a pair of iron cannons sent to support Texas during the Revolution. The guns were manufactured in Cincinnati and ultimately reached Sam Houston's army on April 11, 1836.
They first fired in action on April 20 and fought again the following afternoon at the Battle of San Jacinto, where the Texas victory became the concluding military event of the Revolution.
The historical record surrounding the cannons after the Revolution is complicated and still debated. That mystery has helped keep the Twin Sisters story alive among Texas historians and enthusiasts.
