Halloween/Fall Candy Making

As I prepare for a candy making workshop tomorrow, I think about the wonderful tastes of Fall. All of the spices, pumpkin, gingerbread. Ahh, and the comfort foods. But I digress....back to the candy making. I will be teaching how to make strawberries that look like ghosts, truffles rolled in pumpkin pie spice, bark with dried apples, cranberries (or raisins) and walnuts to name a few! Then there are the chocolate covered pretzels, who doesn't love the sweet-salty combo? Decorate with Fall/Autumn sprinkles - festive. The ladies will have such FUN! I love seeing their faces light up with delight.

Autumn Harvest Cookies

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,
