Dear Food Lover,

Spend the season getting to know a couple of old favorites and some seasonal specialties of the candy department -- you know we always have a plethora to choose from! It's always a secret pleasure to walk down our stocked aisles of candies and be greeted with the sight of sweet confections in an abundance of colors, shapes, and most importantly, flavors. Here are our picks for the month.

With graduations and perhaps a bridal shower or two making their appearance this season, you might just find yourself with quite a gift list. Fortunately, Joseph Schmidt has taken on a brand new look for the spring season, complete with stylish boxes and flavors for their rich and creamy chocolate. Check them out in our first article.

Second, celebrate Neuhaus chocolatier's 150 years of excellence with their limited edition Rain and Stars collection, filled with the most exotic chocolates ever to be hand-crafted by the most talented chefs in Europe and beyond. And to sweeten the deal, we've reduced the price for the month of May! Click here to view the truffles while they're still around.

Finally, Scharffen Berger is making an encore appearance on our website; it's just that good! Scharffen Berger is a first-tier chocolate manufacturer, meaning they oversee every step of their product's creation, from sourcing the cacao beans to molding the bars. If you still haven't tried Scharffen Berger, you really need to read our last article.

Wishing you a sweet spring season,
Al Romero
