BonBonBar is going on Hiatus
Below is the email that I sent to my mailing list… I’ll write more about this when I get the chance.

Hello,
I am very sorry to write that BonBonBar will be going on hiatus. I am relocating to San Francisco, and I cannot say when I will be able to restart production.
This change was a difficult decision to make, especially since I have been so thankful for the phenomenal goodwill and enthusiasm of my customers since the company’s founding. It has been a pleasure to make candy for you.
If you would like to enjoy or share our handmade candy bars, caramels, and marshmallows one last time before the hiatus, I will be accepting orders until this Monday, August 17th. The final shipping day from Los Angeles will be Wednesday, August 19.
Thank you!
Nina
Founder & Chief Chocolatier, BonBonBar

Dang! I’ve been waiting until it cooled off to place an order … I guess it doesn’t matter if it comes from SF. (Why does San Francisco get all the fun chocolatiers?)

You’re moving back to the Bay Area! Yay! Hope we get to cross paths soon.

I live in Downey, Ca. I was hoping one day to travel to the West Side and personally buy chocolates at one of your Farmer’s Markets. Now there is no more time to procastinate. I will buy online. I have to try your marshmallows!

Still not close enough! Nina, I’m clearly going to need to take a trip to the States to buy some of your goods.

Aha! Is that why Clementine did not have any of your candy? I stopped in there yesterday after a long time and asked why I didn’t see any BonBon Bars. The person at the counter was clueless. Good luck for more exciting ventures in SF!

Good luck with your relocation and future endeavors.

I’m so glad to be able to squeeze an order in before your company’s hiatus — just had half the single-malt scotch bar and it’s pretty amazing stuff (only with great resistance did I not gobble down the other…)
Good luck in your move to SF and keeping my fingers crossed for BonBonBar’s revival.
