L.A. Burdick Handmade Chocolates

Dark mice are filled with dark chocolate ganache blended with freshly squeezed oranges; milk mice with dark chocolate ganache with espresso; white mice with dark chocolate ganache blended with cinnamon and port wine; penguins with dark chocolate lemon ganache. Mouse ears and penguin wings are crisp toasted almonds.

Beloved for their delectable taste and charming appearance, the chocolate mice have been our signatures for more than 30 years. Each mouse takes 12 handcrafting steps over three days to create. We hand-pipe each piece, never using molds. The mice are available in small, elegant gift boxes, or clear bags, all tied in satin ribbon and perfect for sampling. Sophisticated chocolate ganache lies beneath the charming faces of the chocolate mice.

These flightless, tuxedoed birds are made of dark chocolate with white chocolate accents - each one is hand-piped from a whipped dark chocolate ganache with a hint of lemon and has almond wings. Penguin samplers are available in a gift box of four, two and one as well as a clear bag tied with a ribbon. All our gourmet chocolates and confections are made with only natural ingredients and without preservatives, artificial colors, and flavors, extracts or essences.

All are equally delicious as a decadent hot chocolate or poured over ice for a cool summer treat. Also, by adjusting the amount of liquid (milk or cream) used, you can make a delicious chocolate sauce for ice cream and desserts. An inspired gift idea for chocolate lovers and connoisseurs. Made from blends of specialty chocolate made with South American and Caribbean cocoa beans, choose from dark, milk, or white chocolate. Available in 12 oz., 2 lb., and 5 lb. bags.

It is hard to overstate the unique flavor that the "terroir" imparts to the chocolate. Terroir is the combination of various environmental conditions, such as climate, and altitude, that gives the chocolate distinct flavors and characteristics. The flavors of these chocolates are deep, complex, long-lasting and taste of everything surrounding the cocoa trees.
