St. Patrick's Special Edition Chocolates

American artisan chocolates don't get any better. If you have not tried this New England company's hand-made truffles, bonbons and baked goods, you are missing out.

First, their presentation is unlike anything you have ever seen: Gorgeous wooden boxes wrapped in beautiful wired iridescent ribbon, filled with the perfect sized hand-cut (no molds are used) chocolates in the USA.

Bold statement, I know, but I have eaten chocolates in every state and I challenge anyone out there to best Burdick's offerings.

The Company is headed by founder Larry Burdick, his wife Paula Burdick, and Chocolate and Pastry Chef Michael Klug of Montabaur, Germany.

Larry hails from Boston, Massachusetts and learned his candy making craft in the late 1970s in France, and then the mid-1980s in Switzerland.

Coming back to the US, Larry established L.A. Burdick Chocolate in New York City in 1987, and the success of his door in the big city led him and his family back home to New England, setting up shop in Walpole, New Hampshire.

Together they have built a mini chocolate empire that reaches far away to Grenada, where Larry and his wife have partnered with local farmers to help them build wealth while Burdick's ensures the quality of their cacao product. 

Burdick's creates inspired collections for every holiday that comes. What goes with coffee in Ireland? The smokey, complex notes of premium Irish Whiskey, and they have infused the these flavors in their chocolate for a touch of Irish whimsy.  

The special St. Patrick's assortment includes Burdick's own "Caife Gaelach" - gourmet Irish Coffee bonbons made with dark chocolate, coffee, cream and Irish Whiskey, coated in white and dark chocolate resembling an Irish Coffee drink.
