Yesterday's batch was Pistachio Raspberry.  Today's was a big batch of Salted Caramel in milk chocolate.  Thursday will be dedicated to Dark Almond.  You get the drift:  we ran out of our Domes, all our Critters and all the French Bunnies.  The latter won't come back till Easter 2017, but everything else is almost all back in stock.  The image above shows today's butterflies in salted caramel.  Can you tell I had fun painting their little wings and bodies?

I wish all our wonderful customers a happy Easter and lovely spring.  This chocolatier is taking a couple days' rest after a very busy Easter season.  But I will start production again this week, because our stocks are woefully low.  Our next chocolate holiday is of course Mother's Day.  We much look forward to May 1, the first market day at Ink Block, the new home of the South End Farmers Market.  This will be the perfect place to introduce our special offerings for Mom.

Jacques, Marius and Pierre have digs worthy of their status at the top of the Critters' pecking order! Jacques will be in the green box with white ribbon; Marius in the pearl box with orange ribbon, and Pierre in the bronze box with green ribbon.  Remember to order them early,  it is truly a limited production!

We are working hard to prepare for our big date at the Somerville Winter Farmers Market, on March 19 from 9:30 AM to 2 PM.  Our total focus is on the assorted menagerie of Critters, including our addition of French Bunnies this year.  See our banner above. There will be samples galore of course. Cannot wait!

The French Bunnies that is. They will be a limited edition, because frankly, they are a bit challenging to make, but deliciousness is guaranteed. Meet Jacques today, who hails from Brittany and is of course made of Salted Caramel. His fat little body is full of softly chewy bittersweet caramel, surrounded by a salted caramel ganache. His shell is 65% Madagascar criollo dark to perfectly balance out the caramel. Jacques ($15) is available to pre-order for Easter, and we will take a few of them to the Somerville Winter Farmers Market on March 19. Each will come in his own pretty...

Petite Love Boxes, ready for the market. Valentine's Day is probably the most intense holiday there is for the chocolatier.  We have been preparing boxes, tying bows, lining up delicious samples so we will do honor to the Somerville Winter Farmers Market.  See you Saturday between 9:30 AM and 2 PM at the Armory at 191 Highland Avenue.  We are very excited to meet everyone there!
