EHChocolatier: Welcome to April: Hop this way

The Ancho Bar has become quite the rave with it’s savory-spicy-sweet flavor profile and we’ve been scrambling to produce enough to satisfy the needs of our local shops as more and more want a piece of the pie--or bar in this case!

We've also been tinkering with a chocolate caramel and think we've hit on a very nice combination using Taza's 80% stone ground chocolate. Reminds us of gooey brownie corners. Yummmmm…

Did anyone say s'mores? Hand over the blow torch.

Earl Grey – Delicate tones of bergamot oil infused in a smooth dark chocolate ganache

Varietal Dark - A single plantation dark

Confection of the month: Rochers - our popular haystacks of crunchy, salty, caramelized goodness
