Mother's Day is the last of the chocolate holidays, and I think of it as the perfect occasion to close out our season before the heat of summer.  Salted caramel butterflies dominate in the boxes: I make them in both dark and milk chocolate due to popular request.  It makes the boxes oh so pretty and very feminine, a nice break from the smooth perfection of our domes. We will be at the South End Open Market tomorrow May 1 and also on May 8, Mother's Day.  So stop by and get a box for Mom, she will love you...

The @South End Open Market is moving to Ink Block this season, and my business is moving with them! I'll be there for my first market on May 1st, so come visit us! We will have special goodies just in time for Mother's Day, and delicious samples for everyone.

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!
