We are VERY excited about 🥳, and a little bit frightened of 🙀, our limited edition Halloween Collection this year. Elle has developed six chocolate bonbons sure to delight and frighten your senses. Read about them below.

Caramel Corn. Here in the Midwest we get our fall season entertainment where we can find it and sometimes that is in the middle of a corn field. Family outings to corn mazes have become a right of passage for many of us and this bonbon celebrates that tradition. Designed after 'candy corn' with a flavor replicating our popular Chicago Corn bonbon. |

Cherry Dark. "I am afraid I cannot do that Dave." "I am a HAL 9000... computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois..." - HAL 9000 "If you were are bonbon, what flavor would you be?" When we asked HAL 900, it replied... a dark chocolate ganache with cherry compote. |
|
Green Apple Pop Rock. Corn mazes are often grown next to apple orchards and pumpkin patches. Including each of these was a goal for the Halloween Collection. What originally began as an alien design naturally evolved into our favorite Scare Assistant, Mike. He is smart, funny, and most importantly... green. He also tastes a lot like sour green apples with pop rocks. |
|
Maple Pecan. Eeeee Eee Eeee!!! 🛁 🔪 🩸 The design is inspired by Marion Crane's famous gaze in Alfred Hitchcock's iconic Psycho shower scene. The flavor is pure fall... maple brown caramel with a touch of smoky roasted pecans. |
|
Pumpkin Pie. This classic Halloween symbol has been etched into our memories through the ritual of carving jack-o'-lanterns as children, tales of the Headless Horseman legend, or through the many other ways this icon is represented in our culture. Now, it takes on the form of chocolate bonbon and tastes just like a pumpkin pie, crust included. |

Ube (Purple Yam). We could not end our Halloween Collection without some Asian influence. For this one the design came first. Elle has been wanting to do a susuwatari (すすワタリ) or 'soot spirits', inspired design for long time. Since they love candy just as much as a trick-or-treater on Halloween night, there was no better time than now. If you are not familiar with the susuwatari you can see them in the Ghibli Studios' My Neighbor Totoro or Spirited Away. |
