Name That Bar and Create a Bar Contests!

So much for taking a break. The wheels in my head are always turning and the brain child of the day is two new contests!

 

We are trying to grow our product line and  we want you our readers, followers, likers and chocophiles to participate. There are two ways you can do this:

 

1) NAME THAT BAR.

We created a new bar about 2 weeks ago. Its a cranberry-salted cashew-truffle bar. Man its good - not just good its AMAZING. Its like there is a chocolate orgy going on in your mouth when you eat it. Hello sweet cranberry...ohhh there you are salty cashew, followed by good lord dark chocolate truffle filling where have you been all my life. 

I am totally clueless as to what I should call it. That's where you come in. Name that bar. Enter as many times as you like with a unique name by posting it on our Facebook wall ( https://www.facebook.com/ganacheandpanache) or sending a tweet @GandPChocolate. Make sure to state NAME THAT BAR in your post. Tell your friends about it. Tell you co workers. Tell anyone you know. The winner will receive a 3 packs of the bar with their name and a 3 pack of SFG Bars ((So Freaking Good - Salted Caramel, Pecan, Raisin).

Contest closes at midnight March 30th, 2014. Open to all residents of Canada, Quebec inclus!  

2) CREATE A BAR

Tell us what you like. Use you imagination - it can be anything from a  new spin on a classic favourite or a totally bold and daring combination like cherry and chilli jam with cinnamon ganache.   Ohh that sounds good! That might be the next bar in our name that bar contest.

So create a bar, give it a name and post it on our Facebook wall ( https://www.facebook.com/ganacheandpanache) or sending a tweet @GandPChocolate. Make sure to state CREATE A BAR in your post. We will be selecting four bars from all of the entries to make. The best two of these bars will be deemed the winners and each of the entry winners will receive a 2-3 packs of the winning bars they had a hand in creating.

Contest closes at midnight April 30th, 2014. Open to all residents of Canada, Quebec inclus!

Working on a business plan!

Thanks to everyone who has purchased chocolates from us over the past few weeks at Rhoda's Flea Market. It has been great fun making chocolates and testing the market has been insightful.

I will be there next Sunday February 22nd and then I will be taking a short break to work on a business plan but will be returning to Rhoda's Flea Market with new products sometime in April.

This Week In Chocolate

Well things are starting to move along in turning this from a hobby where I hawk my goods at the flea market to a real business venture. I have 2 meetings regarding renting a commercial kitchen, sold gobs of truffles to a local restaurant and confirmed the date for my meeting with the Saint John City Market Vendor's Selection Committee. In even bigger news I managed to swing involvement with the 2014 Ford Women's World Curling Championship right here in the Port City March 15-18th.

So for now I will leave you with some foodie photos of the truffles. Hope you all had a Happy Valentine's Day!
