Only In America

July, already?  This month's tasting series celebrates the sometimes wacky, always delicious treats born in the U.S.A.  We have three excellent tastings lined up to help make the dog days of summer a little sweeter.  

Calendar of Events     

Saturday, July 4th:  No formal tasting. Holiday Hours: 11am-3pm

Saturday, July 11th, 1-4pm: Chocolate Covered What?! 
        In the great American tradition of pushing the envelope, we'll be sampling some unusual chocolate combinations with yummy results: chocolate-covered Oreos, potato chips, Nutterbutters, and Twinkies!

Saturday, July 18th, 1-4pm: Hammond's Iced Tea Stirrers
        Refresh yourself with some iced tea with a most unusual garnish. Hammond's soft-candy stirrers dissolve slowly to flavor & sweeten hot and cold beverages - even use them as candy straws!

Saturday, July 25th, 1-4pm:  Brownie Brittle
        Join us in welcoming Becky Campbell who will introduce her delicious confectionary invention, Brownie Brittle. It has the rich delicious taste of a brownie and the satisfying crunch of a brittle. Sample five tasty flavors!

As always, our tastings are free and no reservations are needed. Please stop by and join us for one or all of these divine events.

Bon Bon Bar

      Bon Bon Bar

It's official! You love Bon Bon Bars. We're so glad because we do too! 

Since our last update, founder and chief chocolatier Nina Wanat has been hard at work creating a new bar.  In order to add this bar to our current selection of Scotch, Caramel Nut, and Orange, we've delayed our new shipment over the weekend and we think it will be well worth the wait. Why? Two words. Peanut. Butter.

Peanut butter and chocolate is one of The Sugar Cube's favorite combinations. Nina has taken the traditional idea of peanut butter and chocolate and turned it on its head. It is the ultimate peanut butter candy bar.  Each of its five dark chocolate compartments contains a Peanut Butter filling matched with a favorite topping. The outer two compartments contain Strawberry Jam, the inner two contain Caramel, and the middle contains Wildflower Honey. Nina uses Organic Valencia Peanuts from New Mexico, Bill's Bees Wildflower Honey from the  Santa Monica Farmers Market, as well as organic strawberries and lemons from the farmer's market to make her own jam. Need we say more?

There are few words that can adequately describe our absolute adoration of Bon Bon Bar. We could say that we love that it is a woman-owned business. (We do.) We could say that we love that Nina does it all herself - by hand no less! (We do.) We could say that we love how genuinely invested and interested Nina is in creating beautiful flavors. (We do.) But when it comes down to it, we love how these bars taste.  

The depth of flavors, the care in preparation, the absolute freshness, the organic and local ingredients, the absence of high-fructose corn syrup, preservatives or additives: it is love at first bite.

Bon Bon Bar Single Bars flavors are:  The Scotch Bar, Orange Bar, Caramel Nut Bar,
                                             and Peanut Butter Bar.
