Fright Night

Thank you to the hundreds of families that stopped by the shop on Oct. 25 as part of Fright Night in Potsdam. The line was out the door and down the street solid from 5:30 until 7:50, when we got a break. It was great to see some familiar faces, as well as so many who said "I've never been in here before and I will definitely be back."

Angela dressed as a pirate assisted the youth to caste line over the Jolly Roger flag to fish for a treat. Some got Jelly Belly Jelly Beans, others a chocolate fish. Angela even had some of her gold hooked. If a youth received the black spot card, they got to chose a special combo treat from Pirate Angela's Treasure Chest.

We have one new limited edition flavor in the case...milk coconut truffle. Kind of an oops, but also some people had been looking for them as well. We will be trying out the pumpkin truffle recipe this weekend as well. Pumpkin pie puree with white chocolate in a white chocolate shell.

Also recently we participated in the St. Lawrence County Chamber's Business-to-Business and Consumer Expo. Not a lot of traffic, but some good corporate connections. We're donating a basked to the Chamber's silent auction this week, and will start putting the push on people to think about their holiday orders. We don't want anyone to be disappointed.

Well the break is over...hope everyone has a fabulous Halloween.

Summer Flew By

I can't believe we are in October already and I haven't written a thing since July 4. Well we are definitely gearing up for Halloween. Chocolate skulls, skull and pumpkin pops, black and orange cats, gooey ghouls, carmel filled chocolate apples, crispy eyes (rice crispy treats covered in white chocolate and painted like an eye), Laura's Treats (rice crispy treats on a stick, dunked in milk chocolate and large enough for two people).

And I have to rave about the raspberry dark truffles, the new peanut butter cups, and coming very soon, Raquette Raspberry cremes.

Fright Night in Potsdam is October 25. Many of the merchants offer special activities for the children, trick or treating, and maybe a sale or two for mom and dad. We are doing Pirate Fishing. Toss the line over the Pirate Flag and see what you hook. AARRRgggg maybe some pirate gold!!!

We will also be doing the Business Expo in the Massena, NY mall and showing off our holiday packaging and taking orders for the holidays. Help us meet all your gift giving, but letting us know early.

More soon. Thanks for checking back with us.
