SWEET MAKER

Sweeteeth

who — Johnny Battles

location — North Charleston, South Carolina

Chocolatier Johnny Battles describes Sweeteeth as “handcrafted chocolatey goodness with a twist.” The twist is the unique, inspired flavor combinations of his chocolate bars and bonbons, from mainstays such as peanut butter and chipotle, ginger and popping sugar, and port wine caramel to seasonal offerings such as ruby red grapefruit and basil, jalapeno and pineapple, and more.

Johnny is as fun and energetic as the candy he makes. A true Southerner, originally from Alabama, he has lived in Charleston since 2002. He began experimenting with chocolate while working at EVO Pizzeria in North Charleston. His truffles made it to the dessert menu, and word spread fast. Soon, other Charleston shops began asking for Johnny’s chocolates. In 2008, when he found out he was going to be a father, he decided to branch out and start his chocolate and sweet business, Sweeteeth.

Johnny uses single-origin Colombian chocolate for all his treats, carefully crafting each bar or bonbon through small-batch production. A self-professed flavor maker, Johnny’s innovative pairings are shaped by his ideas regarding Southern life and enjoyment, particularly notes that remind him of his childhood. “Nothing fancy,” he explains. “You can just effortlessly enjoy certain things, and those are the bites I like best.” Johnny’s “crazy addictive” fillings, as he calls them, are today satisfying sweet teeth across the country.
