1/ Attention fellow sugar addicts:

Today is the soft-open of my new business, Marcenet Mercantile, named after my grandmothers, Marcella and Neta.

(BONUS: Discount code 15PERCENTOFF)

Shown here: home made marshmallows enrobed in Belgian Chocolate.

👉shop.castiron.me/marcenetmercan…

2/ I won't be posting every day about chocolates or caramel or cookies, but about once a week, I will add things to my store and will post about them. Pictured here: home made caramels in the best Belgian dark chocolate on the market.

➡️shop.castiron.me/marcenetmercan…

3/ If someone told me I'd become a chocolatier in my 50's, I would have said...yeah, that sounds about right. 🤣 When one door shuts, a window opens, which is great unless you get too fat from eating the "mistakes" to fit through a window. ➡️shop.castiron.me/marcenetmercan…

4/ In addition to chocolates and other confections, I've included two of my signature cookies this week: Lily's Quarter Pound Chocolate Chunk and Hazelnut Chocolate Chunk.

➡️shop.castiron.me/marcenetmercan…

5/ Thanks for reading and for all of your support over the last year. When my husband got sick, I really relied on your kinds words to get me through. Now, since he's unable to go back to work, we've decided to go all in on this business. I hope you'll stay on for the ride. ❤️

I know I said I wouldn’t post every day about #cookies and #chocolates but I just pulled these out of the oven and I can’t help it. 😂 I want everyone to have some before the menu changes again this week. ❤️ 👉 shop.castiron.me/marcenetmercan…

Good morning!

Here's some Belgian chocolate enrobed sponge candy I just made.

OMG the photos are perfect! I especially like the part where the regular sized hazelnut chocolate chip cookie is dwarfed by the 1/4 lb chocolate chip cookies. 🤣🤣🤣 I'm so glad you like them. ❤️❤️❤️

Just finished making these #vegan marshmallows and am getting ready to enrobe them in the best Belgian chocolate ever.

Want some? (or the non-vegan kind, for that matter?)
