Chocolate Banana Slices
We take the crunchy banana slices and immerse them in chocolate. Then we put many coats of pure chocolate on the slices in our special panning process. The result is a truly unusual and in-demand item!

Chocolate Blueberries
One of the all time favorite fruits is the blueberry. It is found on a low-lying bush in colder climates and is prized as it is gathered in the late summer and early fall.

When yoyu coat the blueberry with a rich chocolate - it has a smooth and rich taste. Chocolate blueberries are a very popular item.

Chocolate Cherries
Plump cherries are gathered in the late summer during the harvest and dried to 23% moisture. This allows them to be stored until we are ready to use them. When it is time, we load 150 pounds in a chocolate pan and add exact amounts of chocolate as the drum turns. This takes about 1-1/2 hours and requires exacting work. Once the proper amount of chocolate layering has been completed, we load the entire batch into a ribbed finishing pan that will be used to apply a final glazing compound. This makes the finished product shine. This takes about another 1/2 hour. We end up with a spectacular product - chocolate covered cherries!

Chocolate Raisins
We buy giant, sweet black raisins selected in the premium orchards and have them lightly coated with a vegetable oil so that they will not stick together. Then we load 150 pounds in a chocolate pan and add exact amounts of chocolate as the drum turns. This takes about 1-1/2 hours and requires exacting work. Once the proper amount of chocolate layering has been completed, we load the entire batch into a ribbed finishing pan that will be used to apply a final glazing compound. This makes the finished product shine. This takes about another 1/2 hour.
