Newest Addition

We have finally relented... we now have fudge. We call it Tooley Two-Tone Fudge. It is not a traditional fudge... but is a very dense and creamy fudge. We have been making this for years, and I believe the recipe originated from one of our Aunts... Addie or Anne I believe. I will post a photo as soon as I can. We were going to call it Thanksgiving Fudge, because that seemed to be about the only time we really made it. And of course it is still a Holiday favorite.

The FOTM (Flavor of the Month) is white chocolate with a root beer flavored center. We call them Beverlys, after our mom. One of her favorite summer treats is a root beer float. She is quite a connoisseur. I remember one summer in Connecticut, visiting Aunt Addie we had root beer floats, and mom declared it had to be the best one she ever had. Not sure if any others have even come close to that one. Anyway the Beverly at St. Lawrence Chocolate is a small white chocolate morsel with a gold cocoa butter stripe, and of course with a root beer flavored center. They are only here for the month of August... but already we have had at least two requests to keep them on as a regular flavor.

With in the next couple of weeks we will also be trying our a Maple Fudge recipe. The first one crystalized too much and crumbled. Maple syrup is a tricky incredient. And we will also be creating chocolate coffee spons in Hazelnut, Ameretto, Irish Cream and plain chocolate.
