FOR Bahamian entrepreneur Riel Brennen, crafting sweet moments is more than a business— it’s a heartfelt passion. As the owner of Berry Sweet Treats, she’s built a brand that transforms classic desserts like chocolate-dipped strawberries and cocoa bombs into edible works of art.

"I started my journey as a passionate treat maker with a deep love for crafting unique and memorable treats five years ago. What began as a hobby quickly blossomed into Berry Sweet Treats—a labour of love dedicated to spreading joy through indulgent, handcrafted delights. My focus has always
been on creating visually stunning, high quality products that bring smiles to every occasion," said Riel.

At the core of Berry Sweet Treats is a mission to celebrate life’s sweetest moments.

"We ’re driven by the vision of combining flavor, creativity, and personalisation to deliver unforgettable experiences with every bite," she explained. 

Whether it’s an elegant box of strawberries or a festive cocoa bomb, each treat is designed to be as
memorable as the occasions they celebrate.
One of Riel’s standout offerings is her cocoa bombs, which she describes as both a treat and an experience. 

"Cocoa bombs are hollow chocolate spheres filled with cocoa or cappuccino mix, marshmallows, and
other delightful surprises. To enjoy one, simply place it in a mug and pour hot milk over it. The warmth melts the shell, revealing the fillings as they mix into a rich, creamy drink—a magical and delicious experience," she said.

Perfect for the holiday season, these cocoa bombs come in a variety of festive flavors and designs.

"Our Christmas collection features flavors like classic milk chocolate, French vanilla, mocha, salted
caramel, and white chocolate caramel. Designs range from festive snowflakes and Christmas trees to adorable Santa and reindeers. Each cocoa bomb is a miniature masterpiece, capturing the magic of the season," Riel shared.

Riel believes her cocoa bombs are ideal Christmas gifts for several reasons. They’re more than just a treat—they’re an interactive experience.

"Their festive designs, rich flavours, and interactive nature make them perfect for sharing with loved ones during the holidays. They’re also beautifully packaged and inexpensive, making them a thoughtful and visually stunning gift that anyone would appreciate," said Riel.

For those looking to add a personal touch, Riel offers customisation options.

"We love working with customers to create cocoa bombs tailored to their vision. From bright vibrant colors and unique flavour combinations to themed designs for events, we can customise our cocoa bombs to suit any occasion or preference," she said.

With a passion for crafting edible art and a commitment to spreading joy, Riel and Berry Sweet Treats
continue to make life’s sweetest moments even sweeter. Whether it’s a holiday gathering, a birthday celebration, or a thoughtful gift, her treats promise to delight with every bite.

"Berry Sweet Treats aims to be more than just a business; it’s about crafting edible works of art that celebrate life’s sweetest moments. The idea for all of this stemmed from my love for creative desserts and the joy they bring to special moments. Chocolate dipped strawberries are timelessly elegant, while cocoa bombs add a fun, interactive element that everyone loves. Both offer endless opportunities for customisation, allowing me to tailor treats for holidays, birthdays, and unique themes that make every customer feel special," said Riel.
