Just kidding.  We know what holiday is coming up.  We also know that you’re likely to procrastinate and wait till the last minute to buy something.  And you know what?  It’s ok!  We feel you!  And we’ve got you covered.  We’ll have a totally awesome pop-up store with Kumquat Cupcakery Feb. 11-14 in Greenpoint, and you can stop by then.  Details on hours and specials to follow.

But for those of you planners-ahead, take note: we will be debuting two new bars at the Flea tomorrow (and Sunday).  They are special for Valentine’s Day, they are awesome, and we will stop making them after February 14th.  For a whole year.  They will be up on the store next week; but they’ll be at the Flea tomorrow.  I repeat: tomorrow.

Now, there’s a reason I’m being very clear about this: there are two of us.  We will make as much Valentine’s Day candy as we possibly can.  But I predict, with my uncanny psychic abilities, that supplies will go fast and furious (I’ll do my best to keep y’all up-to-the-minute on Twitter).  Which is why I’m telling you now: we’ll have the Valentine’s bars at the Flea tomorrow.  You should come buy some.

But I’m getting ahead of myself – I haven’t even told you what they are yet!  Well, Chocolate Doom is basically what it sounds like: total chocolate overload, in the best possible doom-y way.  It has a crumbly salted cocoa sablé cookie base, a layer of creamy milk chocolate ganache, and a light whipped white chocolate ganache on top of that.  Covered in dark chocolate, of course.

My Spicy Valentine is more or less my personal idea of candy nirvana: a tangy, slow-burning passion fruit/cayenne caramel with crisped rice, also dipped in dark chocolate.  It’s insane, and we’ll be sampling some of it this weekend.  Seriously.

Seriously.

You should come by.

…Okay, that’s enough with the seriousness and the Valentine’s whatnot.  (Until next weekend, of course.)  In the meantime, I hear that there’s some kind of sporting event coming up…polo semi-finals?  Cricket championship?  I can’t quite remember.  But I do hear that people who enjoy sports also enjoy beer.  And pretzels.  And potato chips.  Get the picture?  We have a special gift package for you on the site – you know, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Don’t let the cold keep you away – we’ll be tucked downstairs in the vault with samples and smiles!  And limited-edition Valentine’s Day sweets.

Seriously.
