‘Tis the season… for fresh California oranges 🍊 and with that comes fresh chocolate dipped candied orange rind! Yes… real orange peel, candied, dried and delicious. If you’ve never had it you’re missing out. I have (and I cannot stress this enough) EXTREMELY limited and intermittent quantities depending on my access to fresh Santa Barbara oranges 🍊 (no grocery store bought citrus here). They are made to order, never made ahead. The process takes about 3-4 days. If you’re interested in getting your hands on some you can DM me for more details. Just wrapped up the very first batch today and they were fabulous! ☀️ 🍊

Greetings Nom Factory fans! The holidays are sneaking up on us faster than usual it seems! We will be taking a limited number of orders for the holiday season. Marshmallows, toffees, caramels, and even breads for those that are local (in order to ensure freshness). DM me for pricing on your favorite items and to place your orders for your favorite noms! 😋

What? Oh… this? Oh yeah… nothing extraordinary there. Just the usual pre holiday rush stock up of essentials! Lol I’m hoping this holds me to the new year! This is just round 1. There’s more in the trunk! 😂 Now to get to that Nom making!!! 🤦‍♀️

There are some new flavors coming to the factory this holiday season! We’re fine tuning recipes we wanted to do last year. First out of the gate is going to be this super floofy GINGERBREAD mallow!!! Yeah! We went there! All the spicy amazingness that makes you feel warm and jolly on the inside, folded and whipped into a gorgeous airy mallow! We’ll have these up for sale soon! Just finishing the final taste test! 👅 (actually we ate the first batch so we need to make some more!) These beauties will be $14 a dozen!

Today was for something a little different from our usual candies and sourdough. Today I made challah to mark the first night of Hanukkah. To all of our friends, family, customers, and to anyone who celebrates, we wish you a blessed and happy Hanukkah! 🕎 🕎

The butter is thawed, the trays are out, the stove is cleaned, that can only mean one thing! It’s NOM time! I’m back in the kitchen this weekend crafting up some deliciousness! I’m playing with some new recipes and fiddling with some old ones. Stand by for noms! 🤔

New to the Nom Factory.... homemade graham crackers! We’ve been playing around with different recipes to get them just right and I think we’ve nailed it! These are not grocery store graham crackers... these are a little thicker, more flavorful, and less dry and crunchy. Perfectly meshed honey with cinnamon and vanilla! They pair perfectly with our original vanilla marshmallow and make the best s’more!!!! No breaking apart or crumbling at inopportune times, just delicious mallow absorbing noms! All you need is your chocolate of choice. Of course we’ll be pairing them up in s’mores kits coming soon! On a scale of 1 to 10.... we’re at an 11!

When it comes to toffee, there is a fine line between delicious hard crack and burnt disaster! Lots of novice toffee makers don’t get their sugar hot enough so the toffee comes out a little gooey and soft without that toothsome crunch you want. Getting the sugar to that temperature though takes a lot of patience and even more thorough constant stirring! Playing with molten sugar every day is a bit like living in a science lab! 🤓 It’s fun and satisfying but can also go wrong so quickly if you don’t pay attention! We just wrapped up 4 lbs of toffee for an order yesterday. These were topped with semi-sweet chocolate and chopped pecans! 🤤 what’s your favorite toffee combo?

Happy Fri-yay Nom Factory fans!!!! The other day we had a customer contact us about our sample pack post. She wanted to take a variety to her family for Easter 🐣 sooooo... we turned it into an Easter basket marshmallow sampler pack! 🤯 yeah... we can do that! 9 of our marshmallow flavors in a cute little basket with grass for $16. (Bunny toy is not included! Sorry!) Flavors include OG, chocolate, toasted coconut, s’mores, lemon chiffon, raspberry zinger, maple pecan, chocolate mini egg, and cotton candy! We can also do a nut free selection for those with allergies but you’ve got to move fast! There’s still time to place Easter orders but we’ll be cutting it off on Tuesday the 8th. If you’re local to SLO, 5 cities, or Santa Barbara, delivery and pick up are free. If you’re a little further away, priority shipping rates apply.

I’m gonna let you in on a little secret... growing up, I didn’t really care for marshmallows! (I’ll wait for you to collect yourself!) Of course I loved a good S’more at a campfire, but marshmallows in general never really made my list of must haves! Until.... I made my own! Homemade marshmallows are a totally different creature than the chalky, dry, powdery things you buy in the package at the store. The texture is much softer, more pillowy (if that makes sense), with more moisture. Homemade is a total game changer! Speaking of which... do you know what’s in your store bought marshmallows? We do! Our OG Mallows have 5 ingredients! That’s it! Sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, salt, and vanilla extract (which we make ourselves). No coloring! (Why you need food dye in a product that is naturally white is mind boggling.) No “natural flavors”. (If you’ve never googled what “natural flavors” consists of, now is a good time). No preservatives! Not to mention, they’re made just for you when you order them! We can tell you the exact date we made the batch you’re consuming and we include that info with your order! So... that being said... if you haven’t tried a homemade marshmallow... now is a great time! We just wrapped up a fresh batch of OG, a batch of Raspberry Zinger, and a fresh batch of S’mores! So let me know what looks good to you! Is there a flavor you’re craving? I will do my best to create it! On that note... have a delicious day and daydream of noms! 😋

Putting together some orders today and we were asked to make up a sample pack to send out for a customer. We’ve got a lot of flavors on board right now for Spring and Easter in addition to our usual flavors, so this box has 8 different marshmallows and a sample of our cream caramel as well. Our biggest question is... which flavor do you try first? Original, chocolate cream, lemon chiffon, cotton candy, almond joy, toasted coconut, s’mores, or Cadbury mini egg? Interested in a sample pack? We can put one together for you if you’re trying to decide what flavor you like the best. DM for details and pricing!
