Life of a Madcap Confectioner

Happy Easter as I re-visit Easters past. Enjoy your celebration on this holy day. #happyeaster #ressurectionsunday #WestchesterCounty #family #christian

We love each of the ingredients that goes into our Caramels + Toffees, but there's a hidden ingredient that's just as important: Freshness. Our local confections go from Cow to Caramel in 48 hours or less. That's a freshness you can taste. #HudsonValleyFresh #LocalDelivery #LocallyMade #SustaiableBusiness #WELOVELOCAL #TasteNY #MadeinNY #DairyFarmers #WestchesterCounty #MadeinChappaqua

Imagine rich dark chocolate infused with hints of orange zest, classic Grand Marner® orange cognac, and local heavy cream and butter from the Hudson Valley.
