Allison’s Gourmet‘s Confection Boutique offers a wide variety of beautifully crafted artisan truffles, caramels, and chocolate assortments.

Obsessive Confection Disorder (OCD) boasts an array of sweets to get your blood flowing. OCD’s Vegan Rosalias are bittersweet chocolate-dipped caramels with notes of rose petals and tangerine, sprinkled with 23-carat gold flakes. The “I Lubz You” sampler comes with an assortment of caramel covered treats, including the Hippy Dippy Crispy Treat, a sweet and savory delicacy made with vegan marshmallows, crisp brown rice, toasted coconut, and bittersweet chocolate.
Hail Merry‘s raw vegan Miracle Tarts come in Chocolate, Chocolate Mint, Chocolate Almond Butter, and Meyer Lemon. Raw enthusiasts can also luxuriate in Merry’s medley of macaroons and spiced nuts.
Pair your chocolaty delights with a bottle of Frey Vineyard‘s vegan-friendly Petite Sirah, a full-bodied red wine with notes of spice, pepper, and chocolate. The organic vineyard’s Late Harvest Zinfandel is a sweet dessert wine jammy enough to be a confection of its own.
