…the ripest jump down to save time making friends.”

Inspiring Autumn Bon Bons
I’ve become an accomplished backyard applesauce maker and eater. I love to serve it to my friends right out of the jar, and encourage a discussion debating which of my neighbor's trees sponsored the batch. These same local apples inspired my Caramel Apple bon bons that are made with cider concentrated from Maynard Farms in Ulster Park Hudson Valley, New York.
Harvest means fragrant spices. One cannot live by cinnamon alone, even in the Autumn. And so I have added cognac with juicy pears, floral galangal blended with the juicy sweet heat of ginger, and star anise, and cinnamon in our Pumpkin Latte.
Upper left hand corner
Caramel Apple — dark chocolate filled with soft apple caramel topped with crunchy rice croquant.
Upper right hand corner
Fly Pear William — dark chocolate filled with a caramel made with milk chocolate & pear liquer. Sweet ripe pear taste with a silky soft cognac caramel inside.
Lower left hand corner
Pumpkin Latte — there are two triangles — everyone loves an extra piece of pumpkin pie! Dark chocolate in the shape of a slice of pie filled with real pumpkin and espresso ganache.
Lower right hand corner
Double Ginger Snap — dark chocolate is filled with fragrant galangal from Thailand and sandwiched between a coin of candied Australian ginger. Floral, fragrant, sweet, and spicy. If you love ginger this is the ultimate double taste treat.
Autumn flavors are available as:
16 piece box — 4 of each flavor per box
9 piece box — 2 Caramel Apple, 2 Flying Pear William, 2 Double Ginger Snap, 3 Pumpkin Latte
4 piece box — 1 of each

Chocolate Valley Apple
Fresh crisp apples are a favorite of Fall in the Hudson Valley. We have every assortment of apple possible. We visited our local farm stands for a sweet local grown crunchy treat and found over 15 varieties that are available throughout the calendar of harvest months, up until frost. I've tested them all and found the best local four for dipping into dark 65%
chocolate and decorating with a crown of caramelized almonds.
Ida Red — red flesh, cool snap with a crisp finish. Love the name Love this apple.
Winesap — yellow flesh, sweet-sour character, winey aroma. Oooohhh myy.
Gala — crunchy sweet with a hint of spice. Best eaten raw dipped in chocolate-not in a pie!
Mutsu — yellow skin, sweet tart and fragrant. Oliver's Favorite.
Size: 4 apples, one of each of the four featured varieties
