A coworker of mine had *just* asked me about your chocolates, because she wants to send them in a care package for her daughter in Afghanistan. I'll let her know about this and maybe we'll go in on an order together.
No flavors with orders of less than 6 bars means that we shouldn't request flavors unless we're ordering a bunch of bars? What if we only want truffles? I still have a whole bunch of your bars but I want to try your white chocolate truffles. And see if I could get you to make passionfruit truffles. ;-)
It means that if not enough bars are requested, the people who ordered that flavor will get to choose between increasing the order size or cancelling it (and potentially switching to something else).
Only truffles is Just Fine; I'm in a truffle-making mood anyway. Thank you for reminding me about the passionfruit; I will look into the possibility.
As Jadia points out, your LJ really ought to be my first stop after any major disaster ;-) I am reading your 6-bar minimum as meaning "it's way too much work to make a flavor of bar unless I am going to make a lot of them," so with that assumption in mind.. * If I ordered 6 of those really awesome cranberry and orange white chocolate bars, would they stay really tasty if I froze them? It would take me a couple months to get through that, probably. Although, you know, I could go faster if I had to. For the sake of freshness. Yes.
* If the answer is that freezing them for so long would definitely impair freshness.. is there anyone else who would go in with my for say 3/3 of these?
Also I am going to vote for mint chocolate chip truffles making the final cut! :-)
Freezing will generally not hurt chocolate, as long as the bars don't collect ice. And they will stay good in an airtight bag at cool room temperature too. The min 6 bar order is because that's really the smallest batch I *can* make-- I am totally happy to split them between people, I just don't need to do another set of "Shoot, I only need two of these and I don't like them, wonder what to do with the extras?"
The mint chocolate chip truffles are, shall we say, very likely. Also known as "I want a box myself!" :)
I'm kind of tempted to say "give me a grab bag of what you think is good!" with the exception of coffee I guess. The chocolate chip ones sound really really good. I want to second passion fruit, jadia gave me a really really good passion fruit one ;9 Have you done much with sesame seeds? I've been kinda into them lately and I'm picturing little truffles with sesame seed coatings, kind of like little mochi or dimsum or something. which is probably insane, but it's still amusing me.
Actually, a green tea truffle rolled in sesame seeds (particularly black sesame) could be... intriguing. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. May have to try that, if I have time.
Feel free to forward it, but I may call it off a little earlier. Or just reduce the selection options; it wasn't so much the volume as the sheer number of flavors (and associated mold-washing time) that knocked me flat last time.
Well, wintery mix was my favorite truffle of the previous order and I'd really like to try the dark chocolate lime cream ones, so I'd vote for that if anyone else is interested in those flavors... -Dale
