I'm so happy that you liked everything! And I like the description of them as "mature.'' :) And yeah, I forgot to mention marzipan. I like it, but I I need a stronger food processor -- a robot coupe -- until I make marzipan right. I think that there's a lot that can be done with flavoring marzipan, so a form of it should be in some bars some day. Courtney - So sorry I didn't respond sooner!!! Yes, I am aiming to put them on the website on Tuesday, for shipping next Monday. :) Julie - Woohoo! I’m so happy that you liked everything!

I acutally just took the time to finish reading through these posts and saw that you will be putting them on sale. I'm ready to place my order too! Well, nevermind.

I was in the nonalcoholic group, but I'd try your Scotch Diamonds and will keep an eye out for them on your Web site. I received your sampler pack in the mail a couple of weeks ago, and it didn't last long, everything was so tasty! Your candy bars really had a mature taste, and I enjoyed them immensely!

I'll see what I can work out. Cybele - I'll have to try the kalamansi one. I think my favorite pat de fruits is the passion fruit from Charles Chocolate b/c you're right -- the super-intense flavor masks the others. I'll have to try the spelt pretzels. It's so weird how my palate is developing... wheat seems kind of boring lately. I even bought corn and quinoa pasta yesterday to make macaroni & cheese with, and really liked it. And I'm planning on putting the diamonds on sale early next week, to start shipping on Feb 4.

I really like spelt pretzels lately. (Organic from Newman's Own.) They're a bit drier and crispier than regular pretzels, which may be a good choice as an inclusions to maintain texture.

Pretzels sound good ... have you considered chocolate-dipped items like chocolate-covered pretzels, potato chips and tortilla chips? Those are addictive!!!

Thanks so much for your feedback! Mimi - You know, I'd thought about another nut butter earlier this week, but my mind only got as far as pecans and walnuts and stopped.... so now that you mention almond butter, it makes complete sense! The peanut butter bar contains strawberry jam, honey, and caramel... all of which are fantastic with almonds. And I love the idea of keeping the nut from California. I tasted some amazing new-to-me almonds a couple weeks ago that are grown in Paso Robles that might be perfect. I don't know how popular almond butter has become, but people do love almonds... so as long as my weak food processor is up to the challenge, it would be a unique twist that might just work. I'll send you samples if it does! Thanks! Jen - Sure! Thanks so much for your feedback!
