Spring Cubes for Easter and Mother's Day are going up

Our Spring Collection is going up on the website. Today I put up our 12 Piece Dark Cube.

We also got reviewed by The Chocolate Priestess on her Chocolate Cult blog. A great review.

Here's my response to The Chocolate Priestess clarifying a few things with the selection I sent her. Enjoy the chocolates and read the review.

Response -

Well, that's a lovely review. On the boxes, we tend to do 3 layers of the same four chocolates. On the Easter, we say we put in the apricot cordial, which could either be the Irish Mist or the Grand Marnier Apricot. The list of what is in the box, is on the barcode on the bottom of the box. But again, it may be any of the two apricot cordials.

We will be switching this year from our non-organic Swiss 38% milk chocolate, the best I've ever tasted, to a 42% organic Swiss chocolate from the same manufacturer. This has been a long time coming.

The white chocolate in the Orange Slice is also one of the best I've ever tasted. We mix that with orange zest and other natural ingredients. And yes, balance is our middle name, as you found out.

The Red Dog bite, the organic peanut praliné with molasses and agave syrup, is one of our most popular bites. We also have a Red Dog vegan bar which is our most popular vegan bar and our third most popular bar overall.

You are absolutely right that dark chocolate should never contain anything but chocolate, but that is not always the case. We strive to make that a reality by our strict sourcing and our strict processes.

We make our chocolates by hand and we do make both traditional flavors, plain caramels etc, as well as more unique flavors, such as our well loved banana saffron caramel or our unique cordials and various unique ganaches.

We sell our boxes wholesale and they will be going up on our retail website this week. Thank you for trying our chocolates. I'm glad you like a small sample of our handmade organic and vegan confections. We enjoy making them.

I should have sent you our other very unique flavor combination, hickory smoked peanut butter wrapped in our organic dark chocolate. '

Enjoy.

Yours,

Another great review of our Easter Collection

Well, indeed, they loved the box and the Marzipan. Before I let you see the review, which is fun and interesting, I'd like to say a few things. I'm not only here to give you the best chocolates in the world, but also to help you appreciate chocolate and get the best box of chocolate you can from the store to your home. First thing you should never, ever do is turn a box of chocolates upside down. When we send them out, they are always in perfect condition. Turning the box upside down will only mar the chocolate. I'm not just talking about Life By Chocolate chocolates, any chocolates. That's why we put the name on the outside. So, next time you are in a store, do not turn the box upside down. We do pack them very tightly to minimize any damage but still, this isn't hard candy.

I know, I know you want to see the ingredients list. Well, you can lift it straight up or as Delores was just saying to me, "Get a mirror. Get the compact out and learn how to read mirror writing Da Vinci." LOL. So, do your best and you'll have great chocolates when you get home.

Second thing is a small thing but important, there are 12 chocolates, 3 layers of 4 chocolates. Each one better than the previous. You get 12 chocolates, but each of the three tiers are the same thing. In other words, the top layer is repeated three times. There is three of each chocolate. As you can see in the video, he tries only one chocolate but he loved it. Thank you. You are absolutely right, Nick. We make our Marzipan by hand. We don't buy our marzipan, we make it and then enrobe it in our wonderful organic dark chocolate to bring you those memories on a nice cloud of almond and chocolate. Enjoy.

Here's this fun review. We sent it off to our box manufacturer. LOL. Our box manufacturer got back in touch with us immediately and asked permission to use our images on their marketing. Yes they may. Enjoy the video but more importantly, enjoy the chocolates.

The Easter Collection has arrived

Spring has arrived has arrived at Life By Chocolate.



Well, now that we are done with Valentine's Day, guess what? Easter is also on us. I'm glad it's in April. Last year it was only a few weeks away from Valentine's Day and it almost killed me trying to get all the chocolates out on time. Now, I have a full two months to get all ready for Easter. And I'm using the time to make some beautiful Easter Bunnies, Eggs and other treats.


We have the best white chocolate you'll ever have. Not to mention the best milk chocolate and dark. And we also have completely milk free and animal product free chocolate and confections. Our vegan chocolates are grand.

All of our Easter bunnies are available in white, milk, dark and vegan chocolates.

And so, I'd like to present Easter! Enjoy.

We have boxed chocolates, in both our 24 chocolate flat box and our 10 chocolate cube boxes. The flats are over 10 oz. and the cubes are over 4 oz. Plus we have bunnies and other figures of all sizes. Enjoy the collection. If you don't see something on our website, call us.
