Swooning for Swoonbeams

May 20th, 2009

Swooning for some great chocolate?

This magical gift arrived with my mail today. A beautiful box containing… I don’t even want to use the word "fudge" because that doesn’t begin to describe it. Lets just call it what it is: Swoonbeams.

The experience starts with an intriguingly elegant box that’s folded together like a puzzle and sealed with a princely band. Opening it is a ritual in and of itself. You carefully slip the band  off and unfold it like a flower to reveal a poetic message on vellum paper about "Hedonism and Altruism."  The swoonbeams sit on a gold board (It would be nice if they didn’t have to shrink wrap it but no way around that I suppose).

Classic flavors, dark and milk chocolate, were creamy and dreamy just as fudge should be. And then there are the cherry and peppermint barks. I loved the dark chocolate with real chunks of perfectly sized peppermints. The cherry was just as amazing – dark and intensely fruity. My kids snarfed the Sa’Mores so I’ll take that as an endorsement. And now comes the best part: Not only is this a great tasting candy delivered in a stunning package, it is Fair Trade and Organic! This is a product that pampers: A gift of sweet confection  – and you can feel good about buying it. Perfect for Father’s Day!
