Notes from…

Archive for the ‘News’ Category

On or around Nov. 16th of last year I announced our new Fresh Chocolate Bar concept and the response was amazing. The launch was quickly followed by the holiday rush and I think I just stopped spinning sometime last week. So with the new year, comes new things from BMC. Here’s a quick list:

New Chocolate Maker’s Club-(I know, cheesy name, perhaps a naming contest is in order?) Click here for more details. In short, you secure you’re supply of three fresh chocolate bars each month and get a bunch of savings to boot.

Preserved Bars- If you were wishing for just one more bite of that bar from a previous batch, your wish has been granted. Being that I err on the side of caution with each batch there are always a few extras. So, I decided to vacuum seal them and store them at ideal conditions to preserve them for you. Quantities are very limited, and once these are gone the flavor of that batch will remain merely a distant memory to your palate.

Bulk Chocolate- I was asked quite frequently if we sold our drinking chocolate in bulk, so now we do! You can buy a one pound bag of it in chunks and use for baking, drinking, cooking or just eat it. If you’re a club member, you get 10% off and we ship it free.

First Batch of 2011- Now that the dust has settled and I’ve wrapped up my year end duties for Uncle Sam, it’s time to get back to making chocolate! Click here to get the details on this batch and order yours. If you’re a club member, you’re already in…unless three bars won’t do.

Valentine’s Day- The next biggest chocolate day on the calendar. I’ll admit, I’ve never been much for the holiday as I believe you should say it year around. Boy was I ever wrong! Apparently you should say it year around, and, put an exclamation point on it each February 14th. Well, what could be better than fresh chocolate bars straight from the Chocolate Maker? I’m working on a special bar for the occassion. Stay tuned for more. If you’re a club member, you may be getting one from a sample batch in the mail real soon. I need some tasters!

Chocolate Maker’s Market- We held our first Chocolate Maker’s Holiday Market just before Christmas and the turnout was great. Sarah and I, along with our son Trent, really enjoyed meeting everyone who came out. We had so much fun that we’re planning to do them more often. If you’re not on our email list, please sign up, or follow us on Facebook or Twitter to stay informed.

Thanks for your support!

Sincerely,

David Mason

Maybe not everyone is confused but I know I sure am…just kidding. Well, a few weeks ago we notified the stores that are selling our Tasting Drops that we were making some changes and would no longer be selling our products for resale. That has turned out quite a bit of misinformation from, “we are selling wholesale only” to “we’re closing up shop”. Neither of which is true. What we’re actually doing is going retail only via mail order for the time being. I say “for the time being” because we eventually hope to open up shop so you can see our smiling faces making this fabulous chocolate. Anyhoo, we hope that helps to clear it up.

On the “& More” side. This week I received back from repair, the final piece to the puzzle that is to bring you our fresh from the bean chocolate bars. Just wrapping up some maddening tests and once I feel confident I can deliver on said promise. The “for sale” sign will go up….for the bars that is…not the shop!

Yours Truly,

David
