Hand-made with love and the best ingredients

 

I am back from France and inspired to be making chocolate again for the spring (in time for Mother’s Day) and summer. I am as always, someone who loves fruit and chocolate (always my home-made blends) as well as caramel and nuts.

I’ll be ready to sell and ship early May - just in time for Mother’s Day. My plan is to be present on the Traverse City market on Saturdays in May. In Bellaire from Memorial Day weekend, and subsequently in Bellaire (though able to deliver to.Traverse City area throughout the summer).

Due to dramatically rising costs for my raw materials (chocolate!) I am adjusting the size of my chocolates this year to a clean square. New prices and box combos will be posted by the end of April.

My flavors for this period are:
