If you know us, then you know that chocolate and coffee are not just two of our favorite things, but our two favorite things, period. And together? Well...hot damn. So we're pretty gratified that the experts at not only feel similarly, but have included our Dark Chocolate Hot Fudge Sauce on their newly updated Best Gifts for Coffee Lovers. "While great chocolate is almost always a welcome gift, Ragged Coast’s line of dessert sauces takes an especially creative, thoughtful approach. Stirring a spoonful of dark chocolate fudge, salted honey caramel, or rye whiskey caramel into a hot cup of coffee is an extra-special treat." : You get us 🤎.

Have we met? I'm the RCC Apple Cider Caramel. I was born in an apple orchard in Buxton, Maine, on trees tended by the Snell family since 1926. I'm made up of a variety of those apples--Macs, Gingergolds, Honeycrisps, and Cortlands--and cooked long and slow with organic sugar, boiled cider, fresh cream, and butter for perfect caramelization. I'm wearing a coating of pure dark chocolate from Ecuador and a sprinkle of smoky-sweet Magic Apple Dust as my signature scent. I pair well with cozy gatherings around a fire pit, with an after-dinner cheese course, or with the poetry of Emily Dickinson or Robert Frost.

For us fall in Maine means apple season! Farms all over the state open up their orchards for PYO (pick your own) starting in late August, and some have apples until early November. We start picking early varieties like Gravensteins, then move on to Paula Reds, Gingergolds, Macoun, and our all time favorite, MacIntosh Reds. For the apples we use in our Cider Caramel, we like to mix it up. Some super tart varieties blended with Macs at their peak of ripeness. And every once in a while we’ll throw in a very special outlier like a Golden Russet, or Black Oxford. We blend them with Maine honey, boiled cider from Vermont, and a sweet applewood-smoked Maine sea salt. It’s a recipe we spent years perfecting, and we’re honored to share it with you each season.

Thanks bake Magazine for the feature!

Ragged Coast Chocolates debuts dessert sauces The Maine-based chocolatier has announced the launch of Ragged Coast Dessert Sauces which mirror customer-favorite confections and are handmade in small batches with local ingredients.

You don't have to be a fan of "the pumpkin spice life" to fall in love with our autumn chocolates. Is there pumpkin? Yes. Is there spice? Also yes. There is also cider, and smoke, and caramelized maple syrup. Together they conjure sun-dappled orchards and crisp autumn air. We call it autumn in Maine, and it's the way life should be.

"Use them also as a filling or frosting, in hot chocolate and coffee drinks. It’s OK if you can’t resist eating it straight from the jar".

What will you try them on?

Great article in the Portland Press Herald this morning!

Why hotter summers are causing headaches for Maine chocolatiers Climate change is forcing local chocolate shops to adapt their shipping practices or risk their jewel-like bonbons arriving at destinations as 'chocolate soup packages.'

New, super simple recipe on the blog: Iced Coffee with Salted Honey Caramel Cream. Yup, it's as good as it sounds. And a snap to make!
