Pomegranate Green Tea Caramel with Pistachio Crunch and Vanilla White Chocolate Ganache
I wanted this one to feel a bit Moroccan, a bit Middle East-ish. The caramel bring tanginess and bitterness while the pistachio adds great texture and the ganache brightens and sweetens the whole thing.

Blueberry Pâte de Fruit with Lemon Dark Chocolate Ganache
What a great combination! Blueberry and lemon is so classic. This is like a blueberry pie, but chocolate! The blueberry is so fresh and soft, and the ganache brings zing and brightness. I’ll have another!
INGREDIENTS: DARK CHOCOLATE (CHOCOLATE, SUGAR, COCOA BUTTER, SOY LECITHIN (EMULSIFIER), VANILLA), WHITE CHOCOLATE (SUGAR, VEGETABLE OIL, WHOLE MILK POWDER, NONFAT DRY MILK, PALM OIL, SOY LECITHIN), SUGAR, HEAVY CREAM, CORN SYRUP, BLUEBERRY PUREE, APPLE SAUCE, HONEY, BUTTER, LEMON JUICE, LEMON ZEST, PECTIN, COLORED COCOA BUTTER (ULTRA REFINED COCOA BUTTER, CERTIFIED ORGANIC, WHITE DEODORIZED & THE FOLLOWING: LAKES & DYES OF FD&C BLUE #1, BLUE #2, YELLOW #5, YELLOW #6, RED #40, TITANIUM DIOXIDE)

Coconut Filling with Vanilla Salted Caramel
I think this is going to be my dad’s all time favorite chocolate! He loves coconut and caramel, so this is clearly right up his alley. Don’t be surprised if this one pops up again in November for his birthday. The coconut filling is light and flavorful and the caramel is luscious and chewy.
Mango White Chocolate Ganache with Habanero Dark Chocolate Ganache
Get ready for summer with this chocolate! What a lively combination! The spicy habanero plays off the sweet mango in excellent ways. The dark chocolate adds bitterness while the white chocolate adds creaminess. It is like a vacation in your mouth!
Lemon and Mint White Chocolate Ganache
There are few things more in the spirit of spring than this chocolate. It is light, refreshing, and herbal. The mint was picked from my garden moments before it went into the ganache! It can’t get any fresher than that.
Vanilla White Chocolate Ganache with Pistachio Praline
You may think vanilla is an odd choice for a floral month, but not at all – vanilla pods come from orchids! That is why it is still such an expensive spice. The flowers have few natural pollinators, so the vast majority of cultivated vanilla must be hand pollinated, as well as the vanilla beans needing to be harvested by hand. All in all, an incredibly labor intense product. The pistachio praline is such a good pairing with this ganache. You get a little texture, a touch of saltiness, and earthy nuttiness. The ganache is light and sweet, delightfully creamy, and has a huge burst of vanilla floral notes.
Lavender Milk Chocolate Ganache
Another tricky flavor to get just right, lavender often can end up tasting like soap. Using milk chocolate adds this wonderful creaminess, and is a robust enough flavor to stand up to the lavender. Floral and sweet, this ganache will whisk you off the the lavender fields of Provence!
INGREDIENTS: DARK CHOCOLATE (CHOCOLATE, SUGAR, COCOA BUTTER, SOY LECITHIN (EMULSIFIER), VANILLA), MILK CHOCOLATE (SUGAR, POWDERED WHOLE MILK, COCOA BUTTER, COCOA MASS, SOY LECITHIN, VANILLA), HEAVY CREAM, CORN SYRUP, BUTTER, LAVENDER POWDER, COLORED COCOA BUTTER (ULTRA REFINED COCOA BUTTER, CERTIFIED ORGANIC, WHITE DEODORIZED & THE FOLLOWING: LAKES & DYES OF FD&C BLUE #1, BLUE #2, YELLOW #5, YELLOW #6, RED #40, TITANIUM DIOXIDE)
CONTAINS: MILK, SOY
Peanut Praline with Raspberry Ruby Chocolate Ganache
What is more comforting than a PB&J sandwich? To me, they are love. My dad used to make them for me, and of course they were always the best. To this day, I ask him to make me one when I head back from San Diego. While not directly wintery or particularly holiday forward, I think this chocolate is like a big hug filled with love – and that is really what the holidays are about.
INGREDIENTS: RUBY CHOCOLATE (SUGAR, COCOA BUTTER, NONFAT DRY MILK, DRY WHOLE MILK, UNSWEETENED CHOCOLATE, SOY LECITHIN, CITRIC ACID, NATURAL VANILLA FLAVOR), RASPBERRY PUREE, PEANUTS, HEAVY CREAM, SUGAR, CORN SYRUP, DARK CHOCOLATE (CHOCOLATE, SUGAR, COCOA BUTTER, SOY LECITHIN (EMULSIFIER), VANILLA), BUTTER, WATER, SORBITOL, MILK POWDER, COLORED COCOA BUTTER (ULTRA REFINED COCOA BUTTER, CERTIFIED ORGANIC, WHITE DEODORIZED & THE FOLLOWING: LAKES & DYES OF FD&C BLUE #1, BLUE #2, YELLOW #5, YELLOW #6, RED #40, TITANIUM DIOXIDE)
CONTAINS: MILK, PEANUT, SOY
Maple Candied Pecans with Dark Chocolate Caramel
This one is a take on pecan pie. The pecans are crunchy and delightful, with the maple syrup brightening the overall flavor. Meanwhile, the caramel is luxuriously bitter and sweet. Though there is no molasses, the caramel comes close to the tangy depths so familiar in a pecan pie. I’ll take this for dessert any day!
INGREDIENTS: DARK CHOCOLATE (CHOCOLATE, SUGAR, COCOA BUTTER, SOY LECITHIN (EMULSIFIER), VANILLA), HEAVY CREAM, SUGAR, CORN SYRUP, MAPLE SYRUP, PECANS, BUTTER, WATER, SEA SALT, INSTANT COFFEE, COLORED COCOA BUTTER (ULTRA REFINED COCOA BUTTER, CERTIFIED ORGANIC, WHITE DEODORIZED & THE FOLLOWING: LAKES & DYES OF FD&C BLUE #1, BLUE #2, YELLOW #5, YELLOW #6, RED #40, TITANIUM DIOXIDE)
CONTAINS: MILK, SOY, PECAN
Jasmine White Chocolate Ganache
Jasmine tea is a wonderfully delicate flavor. I really wanted to balance this ganache just right to get the light floral notes without adding bitterness and yet strong enough to overcome the vanilla flavors in the white chocolate. I think I did pretty darn well! Do you agree?
INGREDIENTS: WHITE CHOCOLATE (SUGAR, VEGETABLE OIL, WHOLE MILK POWDER, NONFAT DRY MILK, PALM OIL, SOY LECITHIN), HEAVY CREAM, DARK CHOCOLATE (CHOCOLATE, SUGAR, COCOA BUTTER, SOY LECITHIN (EMULSIFIER), VANILLA), CORN SYRUP, JASMINE TEA, BUTTER, COLORED COCOA BUTTER (ULTRA REFINED COCOA BUTTER, CERTIFIED ORGANIC, WHITE DEODORIZED & THE FOLLOWING: LAKES & DYES OF FD&C BLUE #1, BLUE #2, YELLOW #5, YELLOW #6, RED #40, TITANIUM DIOXIDE)
CONTAINS: MILK, SOY
Earl Grey Caramel
Earl Grey tea is a longtime favorite for me. I feel so comforted and happy from the smell alone! This caramel is rich and luscious, decadent and delightful. The tea is strong but not overpowering, with the caramel adding a light bitterness and gentle sweetness.
INGREDIENTS: SUGAR, HEAVY CREAM, BUTTER, MILK, DARK CHOCOLATE (CHOCOLATE, SUGAR, COCOA BUTTER, SOY LECITHIN (EMULSIFIER), VANILLA), CORN SYRUP, SORBITOL, SEA SALT, EARL GREY TEA, BAKING SODA, COLORED COCOA BUTTER (ULTRA REFINED COCOA BUTTER, CERTIFIED ORGANIC, WHITE DEODORIZED & THE FOLLOWING: LAKES & DYES OF FD&C BLUE #1, BLUE #2, YELLOW #5, YELLOW #6, RED #40, TITANIUM DIOXIDE)
CONTAINS: MILK, SOY
Lavender Dark Chocolate Ganache
There are few crops as beautiful as lavender. I have always loved photos of the fields in the south of France, with wonderful sunshine and purple as far as the eye can see. Another divisive flavor, lavender must be used in moderation to not end up with a product tasting like perfume. This ganache is subtle, with just enough lavender to feel like you are sitting in the south of France near the lavender fields!
INGREDIENTS: DARK CHOCOLATE (CHOCOLATE, SUGAR, COCOA BUTTER, SOY LECITHIN (EMULSIFIER), VANILLA), HEAVY CREAM, HONEY, BUTTER, LAVENDER POWDER, COLORED COCOA BUTTER (ULTRA REFINED COCOA BUTTER, CERTIFIED ORGANIC, WHITE DEODORIZED & THE FOLLOWING: LAKES & DYES OF FD&C BLUE #1, BLUE #2, YELLOW #5, YELLOW #6, RED #40, TITANIUM DIOXIDE)
CONTAINS: MILK, SOY
Mango Pâte de Fruit with Ginger Milk Chocolate Ganache
This one is sure to wake you up! The mango is sweet and juicy, and the ganache follows right behind with a zesty ginger kick! Made with fresh and powdered ginger, the ganache is beautifully bright and creamy.
INGREDIENTS: MILK CHOCOLATE (SUGAR, POWDERED WHOLE MILK, COCOA BUTTER, COCOA MASS, SOY LECITHIN, VANILLA), SUGAR, CORN SYRUP, HEAVY CREAM, DARK CHOCOLATE (CHOCOLATE, SUGAR, COCOA BUTTER, SOY LECITHIN (EMULSIFIER), VANILLA), MANGO PUREE, APPLE SAUCE, GINGER, BUTTER, LEMON JUICE, PECTIN, GROUND GINGER, COLORED COCOA BUTTER (ULTRA REFINED COCOA BUTTER, CERTIFIED ORGANIC, WHITE DEODORIZED & THE FOLLOWING: LAKES & DYES OF FD&C BLUE #1, BLUE #2, YELLOW #5, YELLOW #6, RED #40, TITANIUM DIOXIDE)
