Sweets for your Sweetie? It must be Valentine's Day!

Posted on January 16, 2017 by Mark Simpson | 0 comments

We just LOVE love. We truly do! This is why Valentine's Day has always been special to us, long before we started selling our confections. When we were little, we were all about the candy. Now that we're wearing our Big Boy Pants, we must say there is something divine about February chocolate...warms the heart! 

Take a peek at our Valentine's Day 2017 Collection - we hope you like what you see. If not, feel free to drop us an email or give us a call, custom confections are a speciality! 

Our retail store will be open from January 31st through February 14th at 18 Common Street - Second Floor - in downtown Waterville across from City Hall/The Opera House. So drop on by if you're in town!

It's Valentine's Day and we're feeling frisky...

Posted on January 23, 2016 by Mark Simpson | 0 comments

Which is why we've loaded our delicious 2016 Valentine's Day assortment with plenty of Maine aphrodisiacs. OH yes, it's true. From the cocoa in our chocolate to the vanilla and pomegranate in our various fillings and centers, each delicious bite has a little something to make your holiday more passionate, for the mind, body or spirit. Or minds, bodies and spirits - hey, it's a free world out there. You go nuts ya crazy kids! 

We've put together some heart-throbby gift baskets but are happy to build custom boxes just for you - from our delicious tablets and filled bars to our Valentine's Day Sweetheart chocolate and marshmallow assortments, there's a little something for everyone this February 14th.

Where can you find CHC chocolates this V'day? Well, we're partnering with Cliff's Barbershop on Free Street in the Old Port to offer his customers a sweet deal on our Valentine's Day selection as well as free delivery... And we're doing a Pop-Up with the Thirsty Pig on Exchange Street on the 11th. 

Oh! And we'll be on the radio on February 10th, promoting a fantastic charity event in Portland you'll need to attend on April 4th. But more about ALL of that soon. For now, enjoy our Valentine's 2016 Menu and order while we still have everything in stock!

Love ya!

Who Needs a Hug in the Taste Buds?

Posted on January 23, 2015 by Mark Simpson | 0 comments

Look, we're gonna be honest with you -- we're jerks.
In a world full of fear, poverty, hunger, loss and suffering -- we make beautiful chocolates. Some people are curing cancer, yet we worry about the proper temperature of milk fats. It's all a little strange really. And a bit sad. But this is what we do.
That said, we think perhaps, just perhaps, our chocolates and confections could serve some greater good out there. We bet there's someone out there somewhere, who is feeling a bit unloved. Who perhaps doesn't get to indulge in the finer things all that often. Someone who could frankly use a bit of a hug in the taste buds. Someone who might need a 'random act of chocolate.' (Someone who isn't allergic to nuts, preferably. We prefer not to kill with our kindness.)
Do you know someone that fits this description? A neighbor? A member of your church? The retirement home down the street?
We'd like to do something nice for someone (or a few someones) this Valentine's Day. Would you help us make this happen?
Please feel free to share with others that might have some suggestions. We're just a little shop for now, but we have big dreams. This is something we'd like to do on a regular basis, perhaps turn it into "a thing." Who knows, maybe with your help, we could make a difference, even if it's just a small one.
So please feel free to leave suggestions in our comments, or shoot us a message if you have a particular person in mind.
Thank you for helping us spread the love!

Sustainable Chocolate
We are often asked if our chocolate is sourced from sustainable cacao farming operations and are happy to report that yes, our chocolate does come from sustainable sources. As we all have different definitions of 'sustainable' we suggest you read up on their operations should you have concerns or questions.

Callebaut Chocolate is one of our two chocolate suppliers and has quite a deal about its sustainable chocolate operations on its website. Should you have specific questions about their operations, they would be happy to answer any questions!

Valrhona Chocolate is our other chocolate supplier and also offers a great deal of information about its membership with the sustainability-focused Cacao Forest project, and how it works alongside producers, companies, researchers, consumers and NGOs to reinvent the way cocoa is grown.
