Our Name
One-Up Chocolates gets its name from the game mechanic first appearing in Super Mario Bros. called a "1-UP" where players received an extra life. While we can't provide a second chance at life, we hope our chocolates give you an extra boost your day.
Our Story
One-Up Chocolates is a video game inspired chocolate shop based out of San Francisco. We specialize in creating handmade, shelled chocolate bonbons that personify video game themes and characters in flavor, personality, and color. The desire to create One-Up Chocolates comes from Mira’s years of working with inspiring developers, the bonds the gaming community creates, and her love of games.
To Game Developers:
Thank you for the countless hours spent debugging, modeling, programming, lighting, designing, texturing, rigging, animating, and writing to bring joy and community to so many people’s lives.


About Our Chocolatier
Desserts and video games have always been a part of my life. First of all, chocolate is always delicious. Second, I will completely ask for a dessert menu at a restaurant before I order an entrée so I can plan accordingly.
When I was 7, Star Wars Dark Forces was the first PC game I ever played. I was forever intrigued by video games and ended up pursuing a career in video games. I graduated with a B.F.A. in Animation from the Savannah College of Art and Design with over eight years of experience in the video game industry as a User Interface and User Experience Designer (UI/UX). In 2018 I presented at the leading game industry conference, GDC, about the UI/UX process of taking mobile game IPs and transitioning them to VR platforms. In 2019, I transitioned out of the game industry due to studio closures and began working in the drone industry as a Product Designer Skydio.
I attended the San Francisco Cooking School’s Professional Pastry Program, however long before Pastry School I worked with chefs such as Gabrielle Feuersinger of Cake Coquette and Ashlee Perkins of Tier Luxury Cakes. One-Up Chocolates is the product of my desire to combine my love of video games and confections together. I hope you enjoy my chocolates and recipes. Please feel free to reach out to me on Instagram or via the contact page if you have any questions. Cheers to everyone pursuing multiple passions and may your heart containers always be full! - Mira Marquez
