Andrea Pedraza and Cindy Pedraza Puente

Andrea and Cindy began their journey as entrepreneurs nearly 10 years
ago after they were both laid off. Today, they are proud to have built a
business that represents their heritage, culture, and story as
Mexican-American-Texan mothers. CocoAndré takes pride in handcrafting
all of their chocolates with love. As an accomplished master of truffle
creation and chocolate design, Andrea enjoys combining traditional
European techniques with modern flavors from Mexico. She has been
perfecting her unique style over the last 30 years. Her daughter Cindy,
who is a first-generation Mexican-American and is also plant based, is
passionate about figuring out the best ways to create delicious
non-dairy treats inspired by the flavors of her family's heritage. Some
of their original creations include chocolate high heel shoe, spicy dark
cacao, vegan peppermint bark, a milk-white-dark chocolate piñata filled
with Mexican hard candy, and their famous sea-salt pistachio bark. They
also enjoy working directly with customers to create one-of-a-kind
designs for parties, business functions, weddings, and other special
celebrations.
