Bacon Peanut Brittles is a new product in our store.
Made my the Redhead restaurant in NYC, Bacon Peanut Brittles is a delicious concoction of peanuts, maple syrup, bacon and spices. This item has been very popular in our store – so popular that we have included it in a few gift baskets.
The flavor do all meld together but the strong flavors might turn a few people off. They make the peanut brittle with just the right amount of cayenne so that it finishes with a little heat – enough to make you want to try some more. It is the perfect snacking food for watching a game or drinking with friends.
The 4oz brown bags retails for $5.95

The San Francisco Fancy Food Show (January 17-19) was filled with lots of new products and was well attended and there was plenty of optimism about specialty food. There seemed to be a good bit of Chocolate happening, particularly upscale and maybe more west-coast based. Dovetailing with high season in chocolate in February, we ordered the following, that should be in store in very early February.
TCHO Chocolate which is colorfully packaged and does mainly four “varietals” of chocolate, or a “fruity,” a “nutty,” a “Citrus” and a “Chocolatey.” Each variety comes from a different geographic location where the cocoa beans are roasted and the cocoa mass is shipped to San Francisco and turned into covertures and then in to bars and smaller tasting bars. Each place the beans come from contribute a different taste profile which is marketed with different color packaging. We have a gift box assortment that has a Valentine’s graphic. www.TCHO.com
Poco Dolce – Sea Salt Bittersweet Chocolate Tiles is a line that I have admired for at least a year, choose to hold off because it is pricey but I succumb at the fancy food show this year. I do like this stuff, interesting combinations of dark chocolate with burnt caramel, or Aztec Chile to name few in simple handsome packaging. New for them are the tins and bags of Toffee Squares with similar flavors also including a “Popcorn” flavor. Not heart shaped nor red but these products would make a perfect valentine for someone who like great chocolate! They are also based in San Francisco. www.Pocodolce.com
