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 Dark Chocolate Ganache
This dark chocolate ganache is made with coconut cream to give a wonderfully complex result. To enhance the coconut flavor, I also added sweetened shredded coconut. This helps with the bitterness of the dark chocolate as an added bonus!
INGREDIENTS: DARK CHOCOLATE (CHOCOLATE, SUGAR, COCOA BUTTER, SOY LECITHIN (EMULSIFIER), VANILLA), COCONUT CREAM, SWEETENED SHREDDED COCONUT, HONEY, 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)

Blueberry Pâte de Fruit with Blueberry White Chocolate Ganache
Blueberry is a really hard flavor to get correct. It is a subtle flavor, and I don’t use artificial extracts. I decided the best way to have the flavor come through was to give it two mediums: the pâte de fruit showcases the sweetness and tartness, while the ganache adds back some of the freshness lost in cooking the blueberries.
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, 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)
CONTAINS: MILK, SOY
Thai Tea Caramel with Ginger Milk Chocolate Ganache
Thai tea is traditionally black Ceylon or Assam tea with milk and sugar. The spices (and color) seem to have been added in English language recipes. I used one of the most popular brands of Thai tea mix to make a caramel that is beautifully orange, full of strong black tea notes and ending in creamy caramel. The ganache is punchy with fresh and ground ginger with milk chocolate sweetness.
INGREDIENTS: MILK CHOCOLATE (SUGAR, POWDERED WHOLE MILK, COCOA BUTTER, COCOA MASS, SOY LECITHIN, VANILLA), SUGAR, HEAVY CREAM, BUTTER, MILK, DARK CHOCOLATE (CHOCOLATE, SUGAR, COCOA BUTTER, SOY LECITHIN (EMULSIFIER), VANILLA), CORN SYRUP, SORBITOL, SEA SALT, THAI TEA, BAKING SODA, GROUND GINGER, 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)
CONTAINS: MILK, SOY
English Breakfast Tea and Lemon Dark Chocolate Ganache
Every Brit knows you always need to start the day with a cuppa! And then have like 10 more throughout the day. English breakfast tea is often served either with milk or honey and lemon. I wanted to get the latter across, and I think it is pretty great! The lemon zest is bright and upfront, with the tea giving a cozy backdrop to the ganache. The dark chocolate reinforces the tea, and the honey is just at the edges. A perfect way to start your day!
INGREDIENTS: DARK CHOCOLATE (CHOCOLATE, SUGAR, COCOA BUTTER, SOY LECITHIN (EMULSIFIER), VANILLA), HEAVY CREAM, HONEY, BUTTER, ENGLISH BREAKFAST TEA, LEMON ZEST, 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
Mint Dark Chocolate Ganache
I truly love mint and dark chocolate. They are so clearly meant to go together! In this ganache, I used mint from my garden and boosted the flavor at the end with a little crème de menthe. This means you get the fresh mint upfront with full floral and herbal notes, while the crème de menthe gives you a lasting mint taste without tasting like toothpaste.
INGREDIENTS: DARK CHOCOLATE (CHOCOLATE, SUGAR, COCOA BUTTER, SOY LECITHIN (EMULSIFIER), VANILLA), HEAVY CREAM, HONEY, BUTTER, MINT, CREME DE MENTHE, 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)

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)
