Last Saturday brought in the beginning of Fall. After a monsoon Summer, we’re happy to have 60′ nights and mid-70 degree days. It just feels like time. If you live in a climate that doesn’t have seasonal shifts, we’re sorry. The Carolinas get all four seasons quite well. Sometimes Fall and Spring are a bit too quick, but overall we’re lucky to be where we are.

Seasonal Chocolates

With the seasons shift, we say goodbye to some of our Spring and summertime truffles. Our last batches of Lavender, Violet, and Basil are out. Get them while we have them or pine for them over the Winter.

However, we welcome members of the truffle and bon bon families back. Memories of white chocolate pumpkin bon bons, the warmth of Mexican cinnamon chocolate truffles, and of course our ginger chocolate truffles are back.

More goodies will be crafted and coming out as the season continues its march towards Winter. We’re looking forward to all sorts of creations!

Espresso Truffles & Chocolate Bark Redux

We’ve also reworked our formulas for our coffee-based products utilizing Jay Gestwicki’s Magnolia Coffee Company. Jay loves working with small businesses and we had a lot of fun collaborating. If you loved our espresso truffles or cacao nib bark, you’re really going to enjoy them now.

In-House Coffee Service

Over the past two years, we’ve also been asked numerous times if we offered coffee. Everyone knows that our family is deeply into coffee, so why haven’t we offered any?

It costs money, like everything! Over the summer, we started picking up pieces to the coffee puzzle, and with Magnolia Coffee’s help, we developed our own house blend:

The blend is a Brazil Conquista, Costa Rica (Naranjo), and Ethiopia Harrar. The cup is medium-bodied, balanced with layers of nice chocolate notes from all three origins, with hints of hazelnut & blueberry. Enjoy!

We’re just offering our coffee. No decaf. No espresso. No frapps. Just a solid cup of coffee when you need it, when you’re dragging, when you need something to warm up to while you’re eating that dangerously delicious brownie bar. If you can’t stay for a cup, we’ll also be offering it prepackaged whole-bean for home or office enjoyment.

Caffeinated Weekend, September 28th-29th

Join us anytime Saturday or Sunday for free cacao nib espresso bark and espresso truffle samples. We’re also giving out free coffee for any purchase. See what all the buzz is about! No sign-ups necessary, drop in when you like.
