CRAZY BEAUTIFUL SWEETS FOR YOUR SWEETIE NOW

We found some special sweets to share with your sweetie. Today, we are featuring the beautiful artisanal candies made by a beautiful couple, Josh & Jenna, of Sugar Knife. Just like love, some are soft and light like a gentle butterfly-kiss… while others offer some hard resistance...

Josh & Jenna are a couple of whiskey aficionados and candy lovers who married each other, then married a couple of their favorite things together – sugar & booze – to create marshmallows and candy brittle that taste just like beautiful relationships -- sweet, intense, and complex.

They turn these extraordinary sweets out of Sugar Knife, their artisanal candy company in Oakland, CA. They make their candies in small batches, the old-fashioned way, with new twists on ingredients and flavors.

You won’t find any nasty corn syrup, corn starch, preservatives, “industrial strength” extracts, or chemically-based food dyes like you get in other candies. Oh no. Forget about them. You will find ingredients and tastes that you will remember a long time.

Their epicurean marshmallows are puffs of romance on your tongue. Their Lemonage á Trois puffs are made with real lemon juice, lemon zest, Ventura Limoncello™, and Fleur de Sel, for example. They make a genius pink fluffy puff made with real strawberries and Domain Chandon™ Champagne.

Check out their spattered marshmallows made with white chocolate liqueur and blood orange puree.

Their Cookies & C.r.e.a.m. marshmallows are made with Bailey's Irish Cream™, vanilla bean paste, and real dark chocolate cookies.

Sugar Knife’s Hella Frangelica marshmallows are made with real Bourbon Vanilla Bean swirled with the rich hazelnut taste of Frangelico™ and a touch of Fleur de Sel. They are killer in cocoa!

And they keep coming up with more divine flavor combos. Some are even dusted in real gold!

You might want to give your sweetheart Sugar Knife’s signature craft gift box, filled with a sampling of their addictive beer and whiskey flavored brittles, with your choice of red or black satin ribbon.

_ Blonde at the Bar: _ Blue Moon Ale + Orange Zest +Almonds
