Hop Pops

Here are some photos of our Hop Pops.  The darker one is just from a different batch.  As they do not contain any alcohol you can enjoy one while driving or at work or put it in your beer glass to make your beverage more hoppy. 

They are $3 each so if you would like to order some, send us an email  at ger_dan@ymail.com

We are now on Facebook (who isn't these days?).  Go check us out and "like" us.  We will still keep up the blog but have to keep current with all the social medias.!!  Still haven't figured out the website stuff, to be honest our blog is more current at this point.

What is the current "favorite" flavor at the moment?  Hop Pops continue to "intrigue" everyone, me too (I am currently enjoying one as I blog) .  With regard to truffles....... I'd say it's the bourbon creams and the Hazelnut Gianduja are the current favourites .... nuts seem to be a winner this time of year,
 
Changing the subject, we were in Durham yesterday and bought a growler of beer from the Bull City Burger and Beer with the intention to make BrewChews from their Snow Hill Winter Warmer.  Alas...... didn't quite make it  .... hic..... cheers, gulp, gulp,....slurp, .... burp).   Search continues for some Raleigh beers to make brew chews with.   If you have any suggestions, just post in the comments)  Stouts and IPA's seem to translate best as their flavor profile is big enough for the caramels.

By the way, the chocolate coated stout flavored marshmallow on a graham cracker with a brewchew in between were down right sinful,  if I say so myself.  They were AWESOME!  Had to try two for Quality Control purposes, if you know what I mean.

Here's to 2012

Thanks to everyone who supported GerDan Chocolates, a small business in North Raleigh that make handmade chocolates and candy.  We endeavor to create delicious and some unusual combinations.  Let's hope 2012 brings even more flavors and expands our followers and fan base. 
Our website is progressing slowly but then neither of us are skilled webdesigners but bear with us, we will get there eventually.

Thanks to you all

Dan and Ger

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all.  Hope you enjoy your Truffles and Caramels.  Our Christmas trees proved very popular this year.  They were delicious and came in a variety of fillings

Here's to coming up with new flavors and candies in 2012.  Thank you for supporting handmade and for keeping GerDan Chocolates busy this Christmas season.

Brew Chews

Our selection of Brew Chews are:  IPA and Stout and the seasonal flavor for the holidays is Wassail

Brew Chews and Hop Pops

Latest additions to our list of confections are Brew Chews and Hop Pops.

Brew Chews are caramels made from beer.  Currently we have 3 flavors available:
Pumpkin Chews made from Pumkin beer that is out at the moment, so this will be a seasonal flavor,
Stout Chews and Malt flavor chews.  The Malt flavor chews contain no beer so  if you love the flavor of malt then this one is for you.

Then there is our Hop Pops.  Ever been at work or driving and would love a pint........... well then, suck on a Hop Pop.  If you are a HopHead then this is for you as the bitter taste of the hops really comes through.  A real treat for $3 each.

Our website

Our chocolate tasting at Wine 101 in Wake Forest went great last night.  Thanks to all who tasted our truffles,.  We received very positive feed back.  As we line up more tastings we shall post dates and locations here on the blog.

We are currently building our website - http://www.gerdanchocolates.com/.  It you visit the website, it will tell you that it is under contruction and to visit this blog.  Hopefully we'll have the website up and running in a few weeks.

Back to chocolates...... with all the autumn flavors out now we will have a few seasonal flavors on our menu so keep checking back.  We will be updating the header (our menu) shortly.
