So there are many reasons why I don’t normally make chocolate covered strawberries. Definitely not in February when the strawberries are not in season! And I don’t like them after they have been in the fridge for a day or two because it sweats and the texture changes. And it’s hard to plan to make them. But when the strawberries come at just the right time and they are local, bright and fresh and it is bonbon making day anyway, well…. 🍫🍓

So they are here in the shop for today only! Chocolate covered strawberries! Limited quantity!

And if they don’t sell, I have family and friends who will make sure they don’t have to start wasting away sadly in a fridge somewhere.

New limited batch! Playing with texture as well as flavour here with a roasty hojicha tea from our friends at and some nutty Peruvian mocambo nibs via our friends at . Medium dark with Ecuadorian cacao from the Camino Verde fermentary, this bar is just a comforting blend of deep flavours.

Find it on the shelf or at the tomorrow morning (Sunday May 24) at the Dogwood Pavilion parking lot 9am - 1pm.

Rhubarb!!

From the Cocoaro Test Lab 🤓

I’m working on a new mint chocolate bar and I think I am almost there, but there are a few bars of my last test batch that I think are pretty good, but there aren’t enough to warrant getting a whole package. They are also not my final recipe, so I can’t add them back in when I make the full batch?

Did you want to try this minty theobroma blend? If so, they will be with me at the tomorrow morning! (Sunday, May 3, 9am-10pm, Dogwood Pavilion)

Also come celebrate the beginning of another fresh summer market season! 🌻
