Gourmet: a person with a discerning palate

Below you’ll find gourmet treats ranging from sweet to rich to just plain fun. All the information you’ll need is listed under the name of the shop!

Below Zero Sweets

Freeze drying foods isn’t a new concept. But over the last little while, people have branched out and tried freeze drying new items. These freeze dried treats are perfect for people with braces, people who aren’t able to bite down on hard candy, or for those who just want to experience the different tastes and textures that you get when you freeze dry food.

Lollipuff

“Pink isn’t a flavor” is the tagline of Lollipuff Gourmet Cotton Candy. It used to be that you just chose pink or blue cotton candy and they both tasted the same. However, Lollipuff has taken cotton candy to a whole new level and they have over 40 flavors!

The cotton candy truly does have a flavor that will make you smile. If you have a cotton candy lover, or just know someone who’s a kid at heart, this is the perfect treat for them.

Fudge Co.

Giving the gift of chocolate has become common, however, that doesn’t mean that all chocolate is created equal. Fudge Co is a small business located in Utah and is known for their small batch fudge. But they don’t stop there. They also offer other bite-size chocolate treats in a variety of flavors.

A great way to save a little money is to put together a gift basket! All gift baskets are customizable or you can choose to let them surprise you with the flavors.

Type of Treat: Small Batch Fudge, Caramels, Chocolate Dipped Oreos, Truffles, Toffee

Price Range: $2.95-85.95

*NOTE* If you choose to ship chocolate during warmer months, it may melt. The best time to ship chocolate is during the cold months where if it is left in a mailbox, then it is less likely to melt. You can purchase ice packs and heat protective wrap at checkout to help prevent melting.

What I tried:

• Chocolate Mint Fudge
• Milk Chocolate Caramels
• Chocolate Covered Oreos: Red Velvet, Mint Chocolate, Strawberry, Chocolate Peanut Butter
• Dark Chocolate Orange Fudge Truffles

JoJo’s Chocolate

After her cancer diagnosis, Jojo wanted to live healthier but also still craved sweets, especially chocolate. She found there weren’t many options available that didn’t cause her to feel guilty for eating them so she found a way to make chocolate that didn’t do that.

JOJO’s is low-sugar, low-carb, simple & clean ingredients, NON-GMO, Gluten-Free, Lactose-Free, and Soy-Free. Plus the dark chocolate is delicious! This is a great option for anyone, but may appeal especially to those who have special dietary needs.
