Nutty Steph's Candied Orange Peels

Our orange peels are separated from their fruit, boiled and drained, and rolled in sugar to dry.

                                  I dip them in our finest bittersweet (77% cacao) chocolate and:

      VOILA!

We candied peels on Saturday, March 27.  They will be dipped and ready to ship on Wednesday.

 

Nutty Steph's Granola Outlet & Chocolate Bar: UPDATE

              

Nutty Steph's chocolate shop is growing into a charmed place of public gathering, revealing to me in waves its own cosmic existence.  I have populated the walls with my favorite paintings and installed an old favorite: 1980's Ms. Pac Man "cocktail style" arcade machine.  She is closely guarded by our beloved (-by many children, and feared by some-) inflatable giraffe.

The products grow continuously more delicious.

Thank you Josie for your careful chocolate artistry.

Pictured below is our Coconut Haystack: dark chocolate truffle ganache, loaded with Vietnamese toasted coconut, dipped in a thin layer of our house blend 70% cacao chocolate.

Pictured above,the door to the left of the chocolate case currently serves as our entrance.  It connects to a hallway, which connects to the lobby, which leads to the front entrance of this Camp Meade complex.  We are so tucked away that locals often say they have never known we were in the building.  It is nice, in a way.  We are a well kept secret.  But alas, it is Spring, I am Jaquelyn, and change is inevitable:

 

Coming next month, we will have a new main entrance, directly off the side of the building. This new Nutty Steph's exposure will have outdoor seating, directly facing the North side of the property, and (view from the picture above) lead into the shop at a bright and spacious angle.  Look out for the new entrance being built as you head South on Route 2 through Middlesex.

Valentine's Day 2010 - We LOVE our community.

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Free Chocolate Shot! V-Day 12-3pm

Nutty Steph's will give back to this awesome community for all the love they show us throughout the year. Free “shot” of drinking chocolate on Valentine’s Day at Nutty Steph’s Chocolate Shop. All are welcome on Sunday, Feb. 14 from 12-3pm. It will be hot and spicy and thick and delicious. Come, enjoy. We live to serve.

Our strawberries are an annual event. Today marks the arrival of the first flat of giant strawberries destined for dipping. First, I wash them, and very, VERY carefully lay them out to dry for about 3 hours or as long as it takes for all moisture to evaporate. Then, I temper our finest dark chocolate, hang a string across the chocolate room and begin to dip. In order to create the delicate, pointy tip of our strawberries, I hang each one from the string with a clothespin. The chocolate cools and dries upon the strawberries after a short couple minutes, strung by their stems across the room. I then lay each berry on a sheet-pan and drizzle the rest of the chocolate overtop of these nourishing, well-loved culinary masterpieces. 

Nutty Steph's strawberries are available ONLY at our Chocolate Shop, located at "Camp Meade" in Middlesex, VT, right off exit 9, Route 89.  To pre-order a $39 dozen (for pickup only), call (802) 229-2090.
