Ready, Set, Vote

I’m shocked.  I put up the voting poll on Saturday evening (could have been Sunday morning) and I’m the only one to vote.  Wow, no one really does read my blog anymore.

It was a tough job, but our taste testers from around the world have sampled the new flavors for this year and narrowed it down to 4.  Those 4 flavors join 4 previously sold flavors to make up the final 8 for voting.  Here are your options:

Irish Cream:

Milk chocolate centers combined with Irish Cream liqueur, coated in dark chocolate dusted with light cocoa powder. (previously sold in 2009)

Spicy Jamaican:

Chocolate ganache combined with Bacardi rum, vanilla syrup and chili powder, coated in Dark Chocolate and finished with freshly grated nutmeg.  (new 2011 flavor)

Cherry:

Dark chocolate centers combined with cherry syrup, coated in dark chocolate and topped with a dried cherry. (This was a limited edition run for Valentine’s Day in 2010)

Pumpkin Spice:

Milk chocolate centers mixed with Pumpkin Butter and spiced coated in Dark Chocolate and topped with candied orange peel or dusted with nutmeg. (Previously sold in 2008)

One more thing…

We are always looking for sales people for Sweet Hope.  This is a great way to help us get the word out about our organization.  We send you a small sample box of plain chocolate truffles and you take orders.  If you work in an office this is your opportunity to get all of your co-workers back for making you purchase things for their child’s school fundraisers.

One of our volunteers takes orders from her customers and they pay her the money.  She then inputs the order as one giant one and we ship all of the orders directly to her. (actually, she comes to our house to pick the order up)  This way she can corner them in their cubicle and force them persuade them to buy.

If you are interested in being a Sweet Hope sales person please email me at elle at lifeofelle dot com.
