If you had a chance to stop by our Customer Appreciation event on Saturday afternoon, you&#8217;ll also know that a few cookies &#8211; <strong>Chocolate Covered Mint Cookies<span style=\"font-weight: normal;\">,<\/span><\/strong> <strong>Spicy Chocolate Shortbread<\/strong> and <strong>Chai Infused Chocolate Ginger Cookies<\/strong> &#8211; have been added to the line up for the holiday season.<\/p>\n<p>The person behind all these delectable treats is <strong>Rachel<\/strong> &#8211; baker extraordinaire. She&#8217;s been baking up a storm the last couple months, and the Shop is likely to smell permanently of ginger (in addition to chocolate) as we get closer to Christmas. You all gobbled up those cookies on Saturday, and although we didn&#8217;t have time to package any for this weekend, we hope you&#8217;ll stop by in a week or so to pick up a few to test out at home.<\/p>\n<p>I suggest some Dark Drinking Chocolate with your favourite &#8216;special something&#8217; added to enjoy them with, and, as an ultimate luxury, a fireplace, cozy blanket and a good book (unfortunately, we cannot provide either the fireplace or cozy blanket, however, we did receive a shipment of some excellent books on chocolate last week, and reading about chocolate while eating it is always a good thing). Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many of you have been raving about our newest addition to the Shop &#8211; dense, chocolatey baked goods&#8230; especially those walnut and cacao nib brownies.
