Featuring our #almondbrittle #pistachiobrittle old fashioned #caramels #darkchocolate and #milkchocolate #fudge some #darkchocolatetruffle and foggy road fudge, hopefully this little spread was enough for dessert! Thanks again to all the teachers the world over! #handcrafted #handmade #homemade #candy #candies #confection #confectionery #confections #slolife #slocounty (at Cayucos, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxS_RWhBw_l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w7y5hseezzgh

Delicious, bubbling, ooey, gooey, caramelized sugar syrup is the basis of much of what we do; it produces wonderful aromas and is an intoxicating sight to see! Did you know that the browning of sugar is caused by the breakdown of its carbohydrates in a process known as the Maillard Reaction? Its the same process thats responsible for breaking down carbohydrates and proteins in meats, which is why you get that delectable 'brown crust' on a perfectly grilled or roasted piece of meat! Making candy is about more than just ingredients, you've got to study chemistry amd physics too! #candy #sugar #confection #confections #brittle #caramel #caramels #toffee #sweets ##handcrafted #handmade #artisanal (at Cayucos, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwxlsPzFXwK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zcrdpm8fkbjb

#RockyRoad is great... But Foggy Road is even better! We put our twist on the classic; starting with a #darkchocolate #fudge, we then add in our #homemade #handcrafted #marshmallow, #cocoanibs and plenty of #pistachio bits... Tantalizingly dark and delicious! #marshmallows #handmade #instachocolate #instafudge #instacandy #instafood #candy #confection #confections #chocolate #confectionery #artisan #artisanal #artisinalfood (at Cayucos, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwu4BXVFVH-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l2x0gw85ebbe

Honey Rosemary Pistachio Brittle One of our favorite #gourmet #flavor combinations... Locally sourced #rosemary beautifully complements the sweetness of #honey and the #salty / #umami of #delicious #pistachios all wrapped in the oh so irresistible golden #sugar goodness known as #brittle... Perfect for #spring and #summer! It may sound a bit off the deep end, but thats what makes pushing the boundaries of your palate so much fun! #brittles #pistachio #pistachiobrittle #candy #candies #confection #confectionery #confections #handcrafted #handmade #artisinalfood #artisanal #sweets (at Cayucos, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwfXJC7F_36/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gfkdc4gthgqy

Whats not to love about our decadent Irish Creme Truffle? Smooth and creamy 61% #Guittard #darkchocolate, real #cream and real #vanilla pair up nicely with a hint of #IrishCream to make this seductively sweet #chocolatetruffle #ganache. After we roll it (by hand of course!) It takes a nice dip in a pool of #Valhrona #whitechocolate, then gets finished with a drizzle of more dark #chocolate (also done...you guessed it, by hand!) Some folks say we get awfully handsy with our #chocolates, but after all, thats what #handcrafted #confections are all about! #truffles #truffle #confection #confectionery #candy #candies #Chocolaterie #chocolatelover #foodie #handmade (at Cayucos, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv97mfrFJ_2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=btk8c85a99t5

Another of our exclusive #chococolate 🍫 selection: Amedei 'I Cru' single origin tasting squares. With flavors and aromas ranging from deep, dark, rich and earthy to bright, citrus, berry and grassy notes, these #singleorigin #darkchocolate tasting squares made by Amadei in Tuscany 🇮🇹 are all 70% #cacao, and showcase the amazing impact of #terroir on #cocoa beans. Ask us about the flavor profiles, we have extensive notes from tasting them all (its a tough job but SOMEBODY'S got to do it)! Our favorite is the #Grenada 🇬🇩 due to its amazing complexity and trickery of nose to palate #Chocolaterie #confection #confections #candy #candies #chocoholic #chocolatelover #Amedei #italianchocolate (at Cayucos, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvr-iKDJoMF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13lcqkfqfjt6x

Sometimes simplicity is superior... Especially when it comes to our Dark Chocolate Truffles! We take our #smooth and #creamy #darkchocolate #ganache center (using 60% #cacao #Chocolate), roll it by hand, then #enrobe it in even DARKER chocolate - 10% darker to be exact - also done by hand, of course... Because all of our #candies and #confections are #handcrafted and #handmade! Currently our #truffles are only available in a sampler pack, but very soon they will be available for individual purchase/create your own box. #truffle #chocolates #candy #confection #Chocolaterie #sweets #darkchocolatetruffle (at Cayucos, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvpTnYDl-_I/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19lpwle5e5nw9
