It has been our pleasure to create a holiday bonbon collection for everyone: the "Naughty and Nice" set. Featuring 4 comforting, nostalgic sweets AND 4 boozy, spicy, or intensely dark bonbons, we've created treats that have just the right amount of tradition with a touch of whimsy. Inside the 8 or 12 piece boxes, you will find:
Introducing truffle ganaches! We've taken our popular round truffle recipes and made them square and bite-sized. This method allows for an extra-silky ganache with the same focus on awesome ingredients such as Illinois Jersey cream, Illinois wildflower honey, and locally distilled spirits.
Our focus on local and organic ingredients creates the most tasty truffles. "Twist on traditional" confections are silky-smooth on the inside, with a thin crunchy chocolate shell on the outside. They are hand-dipped for an elegant, handmade presentation. We'll include a mix of our classic and seasonal, limited-edition truffles.
A holiday classic, mixing peppermint and coffee has always been on the docket. With a white chocolate ganache, this truffle reminds us of peppermint bark. Seasonal.
Every holiday calls for eggnog, and we love how white chocolate showcases this holiday concoction. With brandy / FEW bourbon whiskey / nutmeg / cinnamon, you'll want to enjoy more than just one of these lovelies. Available 'til the New Year.
Our non-dairy truffles rely on organic Wisconsin sunflower oil for a silky, creamy ganache. This truffle was one of our favorites from 2014, meant to emulate the Scandinavian holiday drink. We use red wine, brandy, and mulling spices such as cardamom, clove, cinnamon, and orange. Available 'til the New Year
We brown butter 'til toasty and delightful, then blend with milk and semisweet chocolate with a generous splash of rum, wintry spices, and a hint of orange. The perfect holiday truffle. Sweet, spicy, and warms you from the inside out. Available until the New Year.
Bittersweet chocolate, Wisconsin cranberries simmered with Illinois wildflower honey, cranberry juice, and blood orange essential oil garnished with a dried cranberry. It's tangy and intense, and returning for the 12th year running! Seasonal.
Tart cherries from Michigan, FEW bourbon (distilled in Evanston), and a touch of bitters mixed with bittersweet chocolate creates the perfect Manhattan cocktail in truffle form.
Goat cheese and chocolate together are delicious. You might think we're crazy, but think about it for a second. We've all had goat cheese with a touch of something sweet, like honey, apricots, or pears. We took that classic pairing and added chocolate and crunchy candied walnuts. One of our best sellers.
White chocolate with fresh squeezed lemon juice / zest + and a hefty dose of poppyseeds. We fell in love with this truffle simply because it tastes like the best lemon poppyseed cookie batter.
58% cacao chocolate and pomegranate juice are jazzed up with a splash of Pama liquor. This sweet-tart truffle has red fruit notes that pair perfectly with the dark chocolate (and red wine, if we do say so ourselves.)
Chocolate, caramel, and coffee. What could go wrong? Milk and semisweet chocolate are the perfect base for our soft honey caramel. Cream infused with locally roasted coffee from Ipsento is blended in to the ganache, then the truffle is dipped in milk chocolate.
Tangy passionfruit and zesty fresh ginger are perfect to temper the sweetness of white chocolate. A garnish of pink peppercorn adds some extra zip. This truffle is fruity, tart, sweet, and spicy all at once: it's a party in your mouth!
Michigan raspberries are blended with semisweet chocolate, a hefty dose of bubbly, and a touch of rose water for a lovely, fruity ganache. Organic Wisconsin sunflower oil makes this truffle naturally vegan.
Our favorite Kilgus cream is infused with Ipsento's coffee (roasted only 4 blocks away!) and mixed with bittersweet chocolate. A dash of vanilla and a whole coffee bean garnish result in a super intense, powerful Java truffle reminiscent of the best mocha you've ever had. Great for late-night plots, studying for a final, or baby sleep training.
Dark rum and freshly toasted coconut are mixed with 65% cacao bittersweet chocolate to create the perfect winter truffle. Cherry and raisin notes of our rum as well as the subtle flavor and texture of toasted coconut make this truffle rich and complex. And can we say that this is the perfect truffle "for the guys?"
Oil of peppermint and Crème de Menthe liqueur are combined with milk and semisweet chocolate for an intense minty flavor and aroma. A thin shell of bittersweet chocolate contrasts the smooth, silky inside. One of our more classic truffles.
Lemon, orange, lime, and lemongrass essential oils are mixed with 58% cacao semisweet chocolate for a refreshing, summery truffle. A garnish of homemade candied orange peel makes this perfect for summer sweets tables. Our most popular truffle to pair with champagne.
Milk and semisweet chocolates are blended with freshly toasted ground hazelnuts and hazelnut paste. White pepper adds a subtle kick, and a flourish of hand-chopped hazelnuts adorn the milk chocolate shell. Pair this with a locally brewed porter, or rock it out by itself.
