We’ve been in love with Larry Burdick’s handmade chocolate mice and penguins for years. With centers of the finest chocolate ganache, they are a special little gems that melt in your mouth.

In the case of the snowmen, the ganache has the added seasonal flavor of clementines. Each snowman’s head contains a roasted hazelnut.

The keepsake wood box is stamped with a silver snowflake wax seal and tied with a beautiful ribbon. This gift is a memorable chocolate treasure for adults who appreciate the finest, and for lucky kids (if they get their own box, that is—we wouldn’t part with a single snowman).
