LOACKER ROSE of the DOLOMITES in white and dark chocolate
There’s a place in the heart of the Alps, where the air and water are fresh and pure. At an altitude of 3,000 feet, surrounded by the Dolomite Mountains, the Loacker family selects only the best and finest ingredients from around the world: the best Italian hazelnuts, Bourbon vanilla pods, pure chocolate, the highest quality milk and fresh mountain water. This pure goodness goes into creating all of their delicious flavored-wafer and chocolate specialties, as it has since 1925. No matter which you choose from their family of snacks, you have the quality made famous by the Loacker family in every bite.
A rose by any other name would not taste as sweet. The shape of their premium praline is inspired by the beautiful Alpine Rose of the Dolomites, but the taste of this exquisite chocolate with the cream center is why you’ll pick it. They offer the perfect arrangement: genuine high-quality ingredients and a sublime blend of exquisite cream, crunchy hazelnut pieces, and smooth petals made out of dark or white chocolate. A rose is a rose is a rose. Until you’ve tasted one of theirs.
MICHEL et AUGUSTIN COOKIE SQUARES in MILK CHOCOLATE, CARAMEL & DARK CHOCOLATE with a pinch of sea salt Their dream at the Banana Farm is to make the world smile, by whipping up delicious yet healthy products made from simple, quality ingredients found in your very own kitchen…and by sharing their true-to-the-last-drop adventure with you. In the very VERY beginning – before becoming butter-cookie big shots – they started out testing (and tasting) more than 400 recipes in Augustin’s little kitchen and Michel’s mother’s slightly larger kitchen. They did everything themselves, from choosing and buying the ingredients, to creating the recipes, to baking and delivering the cookies.
Half a chocolate bar. Half a delicious shortbread. Made with fresh butter, a pinch of sea salt, and an intense chocolate.
NUTRAW SNACKS PISTACHIO RAWBAR
They set out to create naturally healthy snacks without compromising taste, nutrition and quality. Their products are the representation of this purpose to create real foods, from real ingredients, for real people. They do this by harnessing the natural antioxidants, phytonutrients, protein, and omega-3’s that are found abundantly in raw fruits, nuts and seeds. Nutraw® Snacks are ALWAYS made with 5 or less organic ingredients without any artificial additives or preservatives.
They’re able to maintain their commitment by establishing and maintaining strategic partnerships with USDA Certified Organic California farmers who practice innovative farming methods. In addition to being held to higher farming standards, this also ensures that the produce grown on these farms has not been treated with persistent pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, which are harmful for us and our environment.
They are the purveyors of specialty pistachio and nut products and have created the first and only 100% raw pistachio bar. Their delicious pistachio bar is made with just 5 organic raw ingredients. Pistachios, dates, almonds, coconut oil and cardamom. That’s it!
RawSpiceBar creates freshly ground, global spice blends each month for creating dishes from around the world. Direct to your door for $6 a month.

Then, heralding from France, we have the most amazing shortbread cookies that each have a little pool of either dark chocolate or milk chocolate with caramel, both kissed with a little sea salt. The raw nut pistachio bar is good-for-you protein disguised as a wholesome snack that I have put to other uses in my upcoming recipes.
