We never sit still around here even during the cold winter days. We have created some new products over the past month, some are ready for their debut and others are still in process. Pictured above is the new WALLY BAR. ($6) It's a framework of chocolate with Wally's own trail mix blend: dried cherries, dried cranberries, sesame sticks, sunflower seeds, cashews, and maple caramelized almonds. Isn't it wonderful to eat something delicious that is good for you to? My sister and I used to barter favors for the chocolate pieces in our trail mix on long hikes as kids. With this bar theres plenty on chocolate to go around.
Pictured to the right is the ($6) NUTS N' MORE BAR with pistachios, dried blueberries, and hazelnuts atop solid 65% chocolate of course. Need antioxidents, protein, or fiber? This bar is jam packed with yummy goodness.

I just want to clarify for those of you who may be confused about ordering new products. We love to post what our newest creations are on the blog but realize that its a little more complicated to order. So if you see something you like you can call us to place your entire order or call and say I want to add a few things to the order I have just placed online. In both cases we would need your credit card information to place or update your order. We are here at the shop 10am-5pm everyday except Tues and we love hearing from you in person.

We have redecorated again. There is new shelving, a glass case to display truffles, tables for customers to sit and use our Wireless internet, and a comfy couch for sipping hot chocolate. Yes that's me, Elara in every picture, the Grocer's Daughter is camera shy.
So come in and join us. Be the first to try our new Hot Chocolate Recipe using ganache balls and Shetlers Milk.

We have recently come up with a new product that you will not find anywhere else. Our new Chocolate heart has a dairy-free ganache inside using cocoa pulp instead of cream. So what is cocoa pulp?
Cocoa pulp is what protects and surrounds the cocoa beans inside the pod. So far it is not being used for much in the United States, something we hope to change. In South America it can be found in some refreshing fruit drinks as somewhat of a novelty. The flavor of it is sweet and full of citrus taste. The texture and color is that of a apricot jam.
We hope you try this new addition and in the meantime we will be doing much more experimentation. So expect to see it in our product line more.

If you missed the episode a link will soon be available on their website. Grocers Daughter is featured in episode #413 "White beans with Maple Syrup and cocoa." Read More »
