Indulgence of the Week-Merlot Fudge Sauce




We know how well chocolate pairs with wine.

How about chocolate mixed with wine... an education for the palate.

You taste the dark, creamy chocolate first, then your mouth says, “Wine? Ahhh, very nice.” On fruit, desserts, mousse or fondue. Just try it!

Mommy and Me Candy Making Classes

I am toying with the idea of offering Mommy and Me candy making classes.




These classes would be for children 3yo and older and would last approximately an hour.  


The charge for the class would be $5/child, no charge for the parent. No additional purchase is required. However, if you decide to make a purchase, your $5 class fee will be applied to the total.  


If this sounds like something you might be interested in attending with your child, please post a comment with the ages of your children.
