Steph’s mom gave us an article from the paper about a little
confectionary shop in the Falls. If I remember correctly, it started
as a side business in a barbershop, became much more popular than
the haircuts and eventually took over. We were greeted by an
adorable and friendly lady who filled us in on some of their treats
and we walked out with three boxes. One to share, one for home and
some sugar free candy. We haven’t tried the sugar free, we were
warned too much of it causes intestinal problems. Somehow it became
less appetizing. |

To this point, we tried some
standards…incredible; we tried some strange ones…weirdly amazing; we
can’t wait to try the rest but are trying to behave. The box we
dropped off also got rave reviews. Check out the weirdness that made
the paper at the bottom. I have a feeling we will be back. Our box
contained at least in part...Danish
puff, Bloody Merry Cordial, Rampenstein,
The chocolate is high quality and perfectly tempered with great snap
and melt. The fillings, classic or strange are nicely paired,
especially the strange. At least to this point in working our way
through the box, there is a reason this place ships all over. |

The next two are the reason they made it to the paper. They are
known for using ramps...the wild and seasonal vegetation sought
after by chefs all over. We wondered how they would take greenery
known for its mix of onion and garlic flavor, not to mention it's
notoriously pungent and lasting garlic odor, in chocolate. The
answer is they do it exceptionally well. There is ramp in each bite
but it just works, really well. Steph even loved both, she wasn't as
excited as I was by the notion of random lawn trimmings in her
candy. |
