love-filled bites 💖

New year, new bonbons! We’ve stocked our case with four new flavors to savor and this lineup has got something for everyone. 

Chewy Coffee Crunch

This chewy caramel is our ode to Guatemala and the amazing chocolate and coffee flavors that are grown there! We infuse the cream with Vienna Coffee Co.’s rich, single-origin Guatemalan coffee and heat it gently the next morning to get a deep coffee flavor that will stand up to our caramelized sugars. We pour the caramel over a blanket of citrus-y Guatemalan cocoa nibs so each bite has an excellent, nutty crunch. With all the coffee lovers on our team, these have always been a staff favorite, but this year we’re pleased to announce they’re also a Good Food Awards finalist

🍓 Strawberry Hibiscus Ganache

This vegan ganache is inspired by the almost overwhelmingly fruity vibes of our 75% Uganda chocolate. To get the juiciest, fruitiest, strawberry-est ganache, we use strawberry puree made in-house from local, organic strawberries and organic hibiscus powder. We then decorate each bonbon with a dust-rose sprinkling of raw sugar and hibiscus powder which is both berry cute and berry delicious.

Rose Caramel 🌹

I love the smell of roses. I don't think twice about walking in a stranger's yard if I see a bloom that needs sniffing. But I'm often disappointed by rose-flavored candies, so I set out to make a rose caramel that tastes like the rose whiffs I love! To recreate that fresh rose flavor we use dried organic rose buds, fresh lemon zest and lots of floral NC honey. The result is a silky caramel with a soft rose finish, and tastes much better than eating a rose.

Spicy Cinnamon Ganache

This sweet and spicy milk chocolate ganache gets its kick from red jalapeño flakes. Unlike most jalapeño, California's Fire Tongue Farms lets these ripen on the vine so they are super sweet and flavorful. We use Burlap & Barrel’s Vietnamese Royal Cinnamon to stand up to the heat, and our own luscious milk chocolate to temper it. Our recommended taste experience: pop the whole thing in your mouth and then wait for the subtle burn as it melts. 😍
