This Blue one had fresh blackberry confiture and a cabaret Ganache.

This red and pink splashed bon bon had fresh Johnson County strawberry puree in a dark chocolate ganache.

Stay tuned for more flavors with Mother's Day just around the corner.

Good Food Awards winner

Well our feet are back on the ground now after a great weekend in San Francisco where GerDan Chocolates picked up a Good Food Award for our Gingerbread Caramels.
Needless to say we are both thrilled.  First time entering a product, first time winners…..how awesome is that!

The ceremony took place in the Herbst Theatre which is where the United Nations Charter was signed back in June 26, 1945.
 Winona Laduke, activist and environmentalist spoke, Alice Waters and Nell Newman placed the awards around the winners neck  and after the ceremony, we got to taste some of the winning foods and beverages and  talk with other winners.  It was a grand night.

Here's to 2017 being a great year for this tiny Company - GerDan Chocolates.  It is certainly off to a great start.

So Hot

We are still here, just taking a break from chocolate making in this HOT weather.  We should be back in production in September with a few events and hopefully back in full swing in October.  So stay tuned, we'll keep you posted.

National Tequila Day

Celebrate today - National Tequila Day, with these cool ice pops.  Guaranteed to cool you down in this hot weather.

I know a few Dads who would love this

Molten toffee on top of marshmallows, that is what this picture is.  Underneath all that goodness is a layer of graham crackers.  To top it all off we put a layer of 72% Belgian Dark chocolate and sprinkle it with smoked sea salt.  Grab a bag of our Campfire S'mores Toffee for Dad.

Beat the Heat

Here is a "cool" way to beat the heat this time of year and it involves beer.  Yes, they are ice pops made with beer and in this case,  IPA and freshly squeezed grapefruit juice.  Delicious.
