Chocolate Covered Grapes!

My new favorite sweet indulgence!  I had never had these until a customer called us looking for 2 lbs of these babies for his cute wife!  Obviously they knew about these unique treats!  I love a challenge, so I told him I would be happy to experiment...Deep down I was thinking ewww!!!!

...UNTIL I sampled one.  These are amazing! 

Each green grape is individually hand-dipped in our Sweet Cherub specialty chocolate.  And, yes, they've now become a regular on our menu. 

Please order a box today.  I could really use a taste test about now:) 

*BTW our customer let me know that his wife said they were PREFECT!... He went on to inform me that he will be ordering a box every month or so:)

I just love the little bits of green peeking through.

February Cookie: Shortbread!

Simple. Simple. Simple. yet sooo delicious!  As far as I'm concerned that's a winning combination! These cookies come together quickly, & disappear even faster!  Eat them plain, dipped in chocolate, or top them with cute sprinkles to add a festive touch for any Holiday!  * See our easy recipe below!

Cream together 4 sticks softened butter with 1 c powdered sugar until light & fluffy.

Add 2 tsp Vanilla extract. 

Sift together 4 cups flour with 1/2tsp salt.

Add to mixer & mix on low just until combined.

At this point it will appear to be a bit crumbly. That's okay.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap & refrigerate until ready to use.  It will be ready to roll in about 30 minutes!

Lightly flour your work surface & roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness.

Cut with any 2 inch cutter you desire.

Place 2 inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet & sprinkle with sanding sugar.  It gives the cookie a pretty sparkle, & tasty crunch.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. 

Then let cool completely. Meanwhile....

In microwave on half power melt 3 ounces high quality semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir often so they don't burn!  Once you've done that add to your melted chocolate another 3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir them together until completely melted.  This helps stabilize your chocolate for dipping. 

*I also added 1 tsp vegetable oil to my melted chocolate.  It thins out my chocolate for the dipping consistency that I prefer. But not necessary:)

Dip the edge of each shortbread or drizzle chocolate across each cookie.

If you're not a chocolate fan, these are also delicious iced with a lemon/powdered sugar glaze!

Place several cookies in a cute bag & give them as a yummy gift!

Or call us & we'll take care of everything!  $10 per dozen.
