Life by Chocolate

Chocolate, white, milk, dark, in all its forms forms life. Chocolate truffles, caramels, and other confections are at the core of enjoyment. This is life by chocolate because death by chocolate is the wrong attitude.

Vegan Tea Truffles


The lovely people at Vegan World Radio suggested that we make some great Vegan Tea Truffles. They were drooling over the Tea Set Truffles and wanted one for themselves. So, on their suggestion, I decided to make a combination of Tea and Fruit.

Q: What's better than Tea and Fruit?
A: Tea and Fruit wrapped in chocolate!

It's a great time to be vegan. Now, we have Vegan Tea and Fruit Truffles. What are the combinations?

For black tea, we have Earl Grey and Seville Oranges. For oolong tea, we have Ti Quan Yin and Lemon. For green tea, we have Genmaicha and Chestnut with Apples. OK. So, it's Tea and Fruit with nuts. ;-) You get the idea. The Chestnut is great. It's nice with apples, and as Nancy, my assistant says, it's even better with chocolate. These are all going to be hand or forked dipped and then decorated.

Pictures coming. It's isn't on the website yet but if you want to order them, please call us. It'll be the same price as the other vegan truffles. And once again, no animal products or by-products, e.g., milk and honey, used in these chocolates. The 72% chocolate is organic and fair trade and is sweetened with evaporated cane juice., all organic. The fruits are organic, too. We also use all natural coconut water and coconut fat. Yum. These taste just fantastic and are good for you, too. And for truffles, they have a long shelf life, about 6 months to a year. Why? No milk or cream or butter. The shelf life of chocolate is about 1 year and the shelf life of coconut oil is 1 1/2 years.

Customers have suggested a host of great chocolates and I made them for YOU. Just lick on the picture or the words to go to the correct page. Enjoy!!!!


Bon Bon Bay Dark ChocolateThis is a great dark chocolate with lemongrass curry. Very tasty and a little spicy.


Bon Bon Bay Dark Chocolate HeartsOr you can get the heart version.


Traditional TorroneThis is a traditional torrone. It's hard and tasty.


Solid Milk Chocolate Heart 4 ozHere's another suggestion by a customer, a solid milk chocolate heart. These are delish.


Solid Milk Chocolate RoseSame milk chocolate customer different design. These are a hot item.


Different customer. To tell the truth, she wanted this in dark chocolate. I'll be making those soonest.


Dark Chocolate CaramelThere is nothing plain about this caramel. It's dusted with gold. It's just caramel covered in dark chocolate


Dark Chocolate Hard CaramelThis puppy is a harder caramel but still not a toffee. You'll love this.


Dark Chocolate Caramel with PistachioThis is a great combo. It's a caramel hand dipped in dark chocolate and a tasty toasted pistachio on top. Yummer.

Milk Chocolate Bon Bon BayThe original Bon Bon Bay.


Honey NougatThis is no traditional torrone. It probably should be called a Greenvilleone because it's my own recipe and I make this soft almond honey nougat in Greenville.


Dark Chocolate Banana Saffron Caramel with AlmondWell, what is good for the caramel is good for the, well, banana saffron caramel. Here it is folks. The one and only banana saffron caramel with an almond. Doesn't this remind you of those great banana splits of yore or a perhaps a miniture sundae out of your youth?

Dark Chocolate Banana Saffron CaramelThis is what started it all. This is the caramel embodiment of one of my ice creams. Enjoy. Go buy some and enjoy.

Double Yummer. Oh and you can get the dry with nuts. That's a Triple Yummer. Sorry, dry only comes in dark chocolate. What would the point be for milk chocolate?
