Ever wonder how we are make our butter mint candies? No? Well, this is how we roll them out and cut them before they rest overnight. 😊🤣

Butter Mints have a really soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. We make two varieties: butter mint and orange creamsicle.

Let me know if you’ve had a chance to try them!

Cashew toffee that actually makes people stop what they’re doing. Crunchy, buttery, not too sweet, and every piece is hand-poured with care. It’s the kind of thing you grab a bag of and eat straight out of the wrapper. Don’t ask me how I know 🤣

Fun fact: toffee was accidentally invented in 18th century England when a cook at Mortlake got distracted by visitors from the Royal Botanic Gardens and added sugar and butter to boiling sugar, creating the first piece of toffee. It took off with German immigrants in America and has been a comfort favorite ever since.

I’m working on a batch of Divinity today. It’s a Southern classic, and we’ve been making it here in Ferndale for a long time. It’s made with egg whites, sugar, and vanilla, whipped until it’s light and sweet – a really delicate treat. We offer it plain, or you can add a little chopped walnuts if you like it a bit more traditional. Which way do you lean: walnuts or no nuts? 🍫

I was going to start the morning with a truffle pun… but that’s not how we roll.

Actually, rolling is exactly how we roll today 🤔

Lots of fresh truffles and also a fresh batch of lemon creams in milk/dark/white chocolate!

I’m spending the afternoon dipping operacream centers in milk or dark chocolate today. Our Mint Cream is cool, clean, and completely handmade-the center is genuinely creamy, the peppermint is real, and it melts in a way that mass-produced mint chocolates just can’t replicate. 🤤

I’m working on a batch of White Chocolate Lemon Cream Bars today. We blend creamy white chocolate with real lemon juice for a finish that’s smooth with just the right citrus tang-not too sweet, not too tart, and unmistakably handmade. At a generous 3.5" x 7", it’s a statement piece as much as it is a treat. A staff favorite and a great gift for the white chocolate lover in your life.

Today I’m finishing up a batch of Honeycomb, and it always feels a little magical. This particular treat has a fascinating history, dating back to the 18th century when it was enjoyed by royalty and the wealthy as a luxurious confection. Our Honeycomb – sometimes called sea-foam – is a honey-kissed brittle that shatters on contact, dissolving beautifully with a clean, honeyed sweetness before the chocolate takes over. Dipped in milk or dark chocolate, it’s a surprise for anyone expecting something heavy. We fill each box as full as possible. 🍯🍫

I'm working on a fresh batch of Victoria creams today. Walnuts and brandy are mixed into our traditional opera cream center. It’s a flavor that’s been a part of this place since 1976, and it always seems to win over new folks. The opera cream base is a real treat, rich and nutty with a little bit of spirit. It’s a taste of Ferndale’s past. 🍫

I’m working on a batch of Marzipan Cream today. It’s a shift from our usual opera cream, using high-quality almond paste-just enough to let the almond flavor shine through. The result is a rich, dense center with a real almond taste, dipped in dark or milk chocolate. It’s a classic treat, and I love watching the transformation.
