I can't spill the beans here, but head over to Facebook to get the details. :-)

]]> Mon, 05 Dec 2011 04:27:23 +0000 <![CDATA[Holiday Store]]> http://www.sweetchocolot.com/blog/holidaystore/ Our store at Trolley Square is set up and ready to go! We are opening today (12/3) for the day, and will reopen on 12/8 and remain open through Christmas Eve.

We have a big selection of our chocolates, toffee, chocolate covered cinnamon bears, chocolate covered cookies, as well as a couple new additions this year: a six piece box of one of our most popular flavors--Sur Del Lago, and a five piece box of our Fleur de Sel Caramels.

Not to mention another exciting bit of news: Beehive Cheese is back! We brought in a bunch of their cheese this year, including some of their most popular flavors: Barely Buzzed, Big John Cajun, Seahive, Apple Walnut smoked, and their newest cheese: Teahive.

We brought a block of their Apple Walnut cheese home last night (gotta have quality control, right?) and it was amazing.

So stop by and see us! 

Also, I'd recommend "Liking" us on Facebook or following us on Twitter or Google+. We'll be doing a fun promo for our fans next week, but you'll only hear about it if you friend us. :)

Chocolot is an artisan chocolatier with taste, style, and generations of experience making bars, truffles, and the whole bit. Their chocolates are classy, provocative, and fun--great for a first date or any time you want to impress. There's a lot of variety to please whomever you're treating. If they don't like the dark truffle, maybe they'll like the peanut butter or the molten caramel. If your date is really sweet, give them Chocolot's Beehive truffle made with local Slide Ridge honey. Now that's a great Utah chocolate! I recently ate a sizable portion of a bar from Chocolot that to me epitomizes Christmas, and it's a total visual delight. On top of this dark beauty are pumpkin seeds, almonds, hazelnuts, candied orange peels, cocoa nibs--a great blend of fruity and savory. Any bar from Chocolot is a gift that doesn't need wrapping.

Thanks Scott and thanks to Edible Wasatch! We're indeed very proud of our products, and it's great to hear that others agree!

Here's the link for the article.

And even more exciting: we're doing something different this year. We are partnering with Beehive Cheese to turn our store into a cheese and chocolate store! The store will feature our artisan, handmade chocolates and toffees alongside Beehive Cheese's delicious artisan cheeses.

You will be able to buy custom gift baskets of chocolate and cheese. Stop by and say hi! We will be open from December 9th through Christmas Eve, and will be located in the main building, center court, right across from Tabula Rasa.

Now you'll only have to make one stop this holiday season to find locally-produced, artisan products.

See you soon!
