Chocolate Treats for Birthdays, Holidays and Special Occasions

Chocolates are a great gift because they are so beautiful and delicious. Even without a greeting card, a box of chocolates says "I Love You."
Order your chocolates from Sweet + Delicious and you can choose exactly what your loved one loves.

Personalize your chocolates.

Order dark chocolates, milk chocolates or a mix of both. Does your loved one enjoy nuts or dried fruit?
Choose the chocolate, the nuts, the dried fruit and the shape.

My wife loves the mini-bars with a mix of dark and milk chocolate, flavored with caramelized almond slivers. The peanut butter hearts with two chocolates is also one of her favorites.

You can order a dozen of any combination, with a three dozen minimum order.

Email me and I can make the chocolates that are perfect for your loved one.

Chocolates! Chocolates! Chocolates

I am obsessed with chocolates. Milk chocolate. Bitter sweet chocolate. White chocolate. Ok, maybe not white chocolate.
So versatile.  Chocolate goes well with nuts. I've been experimenting with raw and caramelized almonds, hazelnuts and pecans.

Chocolate with a bit of heat is delicious as well. A touch of cayenne or a  bit of crystallized ginger.
Dried fruit and chocolate are great together as well. Dried apricots with dark chocolate are a favorite.

CUSTOMIZE CHOCOLATES THE WAY YOU WANT THEM


What's most fun about making chocolates is I can customize them. A friend tried my milk and dark chocolate mini-bar with caramelized almonds and said, "I'd like them better with just dark chocolate," so that's what he ordered.
Another friend wanted the almonds toasted but not caramelized.
My wife said, "Use peanut butter" and those have become a big seller.

Email me at davidjlatt@earthlink.net and tell me what you would like. Order as many as you want (with a three dozen minimum) and I'll ship them to you.
