Calling all candy makers! If you are preparing to entertain this fall and winter and enjoy making your own chocolate candies, I invite you to check out DOVE Chocolate Discoveries September's special. A Professional grade tempering unit retailing for $300+, but may be purchased this month for ONLY $99!!! This is an awesome offer and not offered that often. The offer is valid when purchasing our CANDY LAND BUNDLE for $54. The CANDY LAND BUNDLE includes 1 1/2# milk or dark chocolate (your choice), 1 # white chocolate and three Winter design transfer sheets (snowflake, snow swirl and tree).

Ideas for the holiday season:

~ Chocolate swizzle sticks in drinks or to decorate desserts
~ Peppermint bark
~ Truffles that look like turkeys and may be used as place settings for Thanksgiving!
~ Use cookie cutters with the design transfer sheets, fill with 1/8" to 1/4" chocolate and pop out. Great to decorate desserts, beverages, make several and decorate a cake! Lovely!!!!
~ Chocolate ribbon curls made with the design transfer sheets to decorate desserts, cupcakes, etc. Pretty!!

Adult S'mores


As we welcome autumn, nothing says bonfire like s'mores! If you do not have space for a bonfire or in case of inclement weather, never fear...I recently made an adult only s'mores in the microwave:

Ingredients:
Graham Crackers
Marshmallows
DCD Merlot Fudge Sauce, Raspberry Cabernet Fudge Sauce or Creme de Menthe Fudge Sauce

Place a graham cracker on a plate, cut up a marshmallow into 4-6 pieces and lay on the graham cracker, drizzle with the Fudge Sauce and microwave for 7-8 seconds and you have a decadent Smore's for one.

Enjoy when you get home from work as a snack or after the kids are in bed! So easy and so YUMMY, you will be wanting more than one!

Fall/Holiday Catalog

Hello Fellow Chocoholics!

Fall is almost here and DOVE Chocolate Discoveries new catalog is waiting your review! We have to many wonderful new products to offer to entertain during the fall and winter holidays! One of my favorite new products is the Spiced White Sipping Chocolate!!! It tastes like Gingerbread and may be made into a hot toddy as well. In fact pair the Spiced White Sipping Chocolate with our Gingerbread with chocolate chips mix and you will be ready for the leaves to begin falling to the ground. Another wonderful product is our Cinnamon Apples a la Mode. Each apple is drizzled with the perfect amount of white chocolate and they taste like homemade apple pie without the fuss. Have a couple along with the Spice White Sipping Chocolate?

Thank you for visiting my blog!

In chocolate,

Kim
