Our new 2024 menu above describes above all the chocolates we will introduce or rotate in the coming year.  Some are highly seasonal and available only when their ingredients make their fleeting appearance in our region, while others show up to celebrate a new season, or Valentine Day, or just because...

As of December 2023, our collection introduces five new chocolates!  Hot Honey, Orange Creamsicle and Prickly Pear Mango in dark chocolate, and Crème de Poire and Thai Tea in milk chocolate.

The entire December Collection comprises 21 chocolates as described below.  As with all our confections, our chocolates are made with organic cream, butter and citrus.
