Lately I’ve been kicking the tires on the new kitchen, and I’m pretty darned happy with how it’s turned out. Here’s what I’ve been working on–try them and let me know what you think!
African Sunrise
Venezuelan chocolate ziggurats filled with a bright ganache of African Rooibos tea, fresh garden mint, and lime. “The flavors keep changing in my mouth!” exclaimed a recent customer while reaching for a second bonbon. (Total available: 24 pieces) SOLD OUT
The Nibby Strawberry
Bronzed cacao pods filled with Venezuelan milk chocolate and strawberry ganache and a sprinkling of crushed cacao beans from Sao Tome. Sweet, dark, smooth, crunchy. (Total available: 24 pieces) SOLD OUT
The Strawberry Truffle
Fresh strawberries and Venezuelan milk chocolate ganache enrobed in a paper-thin shell of my own dark chocolate blend. Bright and happy; life is good. (Total available: 40 pieces)
