We have many customers who only grace our doors (fax machine, website or call in their orders) only around a holiday. Rather than ordering an assortment of our chocolates, they order their favorites.
This year I see a theme-simple pleasures. Whether it’s almond bark, continental truffles or drizzled pretzles- the tastes are straightforward. I always get requests for flavors out of the ordinary-jasmine-ginger; rosewater-lemongrass; sesame-chipotle. Not this year, not even close.
It’s as if the current mood in the country-or just at JoMart-K.I.S.S- keep it simple stupid- hmmm, if only our politicians owned chocolate shops.
