A cookie to celebrate the solar eclipse. The alignment of the Sun, Moon and Earth as a full solar eclipse will be a sight to behold... for 4 min and 28 seconds the all encompassing sky will envelop us in a beautiful warm glow.

What will we be eating when it happens? Solar Eclipse Sables of course. :)

Buttery black sesame cookies baked and dipped into 4 phases of the eclipse, from first contact to totality. The cookies are nutty and smoky from the roasted black sesame, hand dipped in our ethereal white chocolate. Delicious and “not too sweet”

Available...right now on the webshop. We also baked a fresh batch to be ready at the shops tomorrow afternoon. Very limited edition.

Welcome new moon we’ve been expecting you. Where will you be during the eclipse?

Meet Bao Bao, the baby panda. Eeeep he’s so so cute, small and mighty Bao Bao embodies all the forces of good in a little dumpling shaped body. In Chinese Bao means “treasure” a light that radiates sweetness out into the universe.

Bao Bao is made with our luscious white chocolate and dark chocolate made with cacao from our favourite farms and growing regions. Bao sits on a magnificent nest made by smooshing roasted hazelnuts and dark chocolate together then hand cranking it through an old schoolpasta press. House made Gianduja, the good stuff.

Very limited edition, each adorable part of Bao Bao is hand sculpted giving each Panda their own little personality. Inside Bao Bao’s belly is a delightful Yuzu & rice cracker donut. Because baby pandas eat donuts right? ;)

Packed in a very cool reusable Weck tulip jar. Yay to no waste packaging and to making Jam.

Available now for preorder on the web shop. Bao Bao will be ready for you to pick-up and ship 2nd week of March.

Lucky Cats to ring in Lunar New Year
Buttery Sable cookies with a luscious Umeboshi Plum Caramel middle.

big...hand sized. I realize we’re making a lot of hand size items for Lunar New Year and Valentine’s Day it’s nice because we all have 2. :)

Remember these cuties from the Happyland box? As promised they’re back solo to sprinkle good luck, good health and joy onto your beautiful faces.

These special good luck sandwiches are made ( sables and caramel) with barrel-churned A2 jersey butter. This butter, wow...a bright canary yellow made from the milk of single herd jerseys on a family farm in Ontario, 84% mf glorious to make and bake with. Super fancy.

Umeboshi Plums
Plum trees blossom right about now when there’s still a chill in the air. Many poems have been written about their beauty. The plums signify warmth and good luck and renewal. Pickled Umeboshi plums are fruity, sour and salty... intense mellowed beautifully when melted into a perfectly cooked creamy caramel.

These cuties are available now up until Lunar NY and maybe Valentine’s Day at the shops and webshop.

Dragon Dumplings!!
To celebrate the Year of the Dragon- raspberry Chocolate dumplings!!

This year we decided to supersize them into hand size dumplings. Inside a chocolate dumpling the most luscious Raspberry truffle filling Wrapped up to be festive.

Dumplings are a very Chinese way to celebrate love and togetherness. Gathering with family and friends laughing, telling stories, lovingly critiquing each other’s dumpling wrapping skills then sitting down for a delicious meal of dumplings together. The whole day is loud and rambunctious, a very joyful affair. My family is especially loud.

So how do you make chocolate dumplings? Lol not easily. Unlike dumpling wrappers that are soft and pliable, chocolate is anything but. We make paper thin chocolate wrappers, pipe on fluffy raspberry ganache and fold(!) into a dumpling before the chocolate sets hard.

The whole process is pushing the science a bit but it’s totally worth it. The result is a beautifully wonky looking dumpling... crispy chocolate skin snapping through to soft tangy filling.

available at the shops and the web shop...now. These dumpling are hard to make so only small batches, so nab em fast. Timing is everything.

Milky Milk Chocolate

Can we talk about Milk chocolate? Dark chocolate has been having its moment but let's not forget about Milk chocolate. When you intertwine cacao beans, sugar and milk and just the right proportion the results are mind-blowing. A whole other spectrum of flavour notes open... please step through the creamy portal to the land of nuts, florals, and caramel- maillard party time.

All our milks are dark-milks meaning they sit at 35% cacao content, It's the magic spot where the cacao still shines through a creamy lens. Most milk chocolate sits at 10.

2 bars to sing about

New Release!
Mr Salazar Milk Chocolate.
All the beautiful flavours of cacao done up as a milk chocolate. Not all cacao taste good as a milk, but Freddy's beans just work. We first tested this by spinning it up as a creamy gelato and the results were spectacular. Grab the milk and dark chocolate it's a delicious and fun way to enjoy Mr Salazar.

and my personal favourite...
Dream Machine Milk Chocolate
It's a IYKYK chocolate, quietly addictive. It's our house milk we use to make our confections because it tastes good with so many different ingredients.We spent a couple years tweaking this recipe with the mission to make the perfect Milk Chocolate, a milk we would want to eat everyday. It's a perfect milky milk.. notes of fresh milk, caramel, butter, brown sugar. The milk is from Quebec, sugar is organic cane, the cacao 's beautiful beans from Ecuador.

Milk peeps... we got you.

5 holiday boozies this year
Here’s to gathering with your peeps with a glass…

Now available at the shops and as a boozy box that includes 2 each of the boozies.

Yuzu Toki Whisky
A vibrant Yuzu jam is suspended above a luscious chocolate ganache spiked with Suntory Toki Whisky. Toki is a fresh Japanese whisky with notes of citrus, and peppery spices infused into a Semuliki dark chocolate ganache.

Raspberry & Kinsip Woodland Whisper Vodka
Friends make beautiful things together and it’s no secret we love . Their Pine vodka is triple distilled in a copper still with Ontario Wheat and Pine. The vodka is infused into a fresh creamy raspberry ganache. The pine and raspberries work so nice together, think winter forest delight.

A proper Negroni made into an elegant truffle, sweet vermouth, gin, Campari and an orange twist on top. Negroni peeps this one's for you.

Nocino
Made with the black walnuts we picked at our treehouse. The Nocino has been aging for 2 years developing layers of smooth dark, nutty and spiced notes.

Cherry Aperitivo
The Aperitivo is the beloved pre-dinner cocktail of Venetians. A cocktail that bonds people in the beautiful little moments of the day. Cherry jelly floats above a ganache spiked with “Select Aperitivo” made with Rhubarb, Vanilla and ginger.

Let’s party.
