So we can guarantee to lovers of sweetness that they will have a sweet time with us....
Artisan: C'est moi qui l'Effet, « La Main à la Pat’ », Sandy Barouk .
Sandy prepares artisanal cooking kits made only with organic products, local when possible and always carefully selected. And for brownie lovers, this kit is a must! Just add butter and eggs, a few minutes of cooking and you get a delicious and melting brownie. A true pleasure for gourmets...
Preparation tip: to get a melting brownie, 15 minutes short in the oven will be enough.... And to add a crunchy touch, don't hesitate to add some nuts of your choice....
Artisan: Lou Cocal.
This crisp, delicious culinary speciality is a must. Though it looks like a lovely golden sun, it's actually a walnut tart encased in puff pastry. In addition to being delicious, this tempting morsel is good for you because of the many nutritional properties of walnuts, which not only lower cholesterol but are also rich in magnesium and vitamin E.
You can't go wrong with this premium energy food!
Artisan: L'Attelier.
At this small shop in Guérande, a town in southwest France famed for its butter and salt, every product is made using traditional methods and all-natural local ingredients. Nuts are the common denominator in every recipe, but they add sugar, caramel, spices or condiments to create a wide range of flavours and textures.
For our box we chose organic caramelized cashew nuts seasoned with Kâmpôt pepper for their originality (a change from the more conventional cashews), surprising taste (the pepper-sweet contrast is outstanding) and super-extra-crunchy texture. These sinfully delicious morsels are too tempting to resist.
Artisan: Maison Gramm's.
No GMOs, palm oil, preservatives, additives or artificial colouring. The many virtues of these naturally sweet black soya beans have been known to the Japanese for millennia. Roasted in Kyoto, they have a crispy, crunchy, almost biscuit-like texture. And to round out the Far East experience, Maison Gramm’s has dipped them in white chocolate flavoured with Matcha green tea.
The delicate aroma of ceremonial Matcha tea combined with the crunchy taste of roasted black soya beans will introduce you to a whole new world of gourmet sensations.
Artisan: Le Verger de Virginie.
The Alpes-de-Haute-Provence is a land of splendid orchards, and Virginie puts their exceptional fruit to good use in her delicious jams. For her apple jam, Virginie only uses fresh apples, sugar and organic lavender.
The apples are grown in the north of the département and purchased directly from the producer. After the apples are pressed and the juice has been extracted, the leftover pulp is used to make this sweet delicacy, just as French grandmothers have been doing for centuries.
The result is an impressively smooth jam in which the lavender enhances but doesn't overwhelm the apple flavour. Let us know what you think!
Artisan: Biscuiterie de Bretagne.
Frédéric Adam, founder of the Biscuiterie de Bretagne, managed to come up with a delicious recipe for crisp biscuits made of flour, sugar and egg white but no yolk—an amazing fat-free delicacy in the land of butter and Kouign-amann. And so the Craquantin Breton was born. Some years later, he added salted-butter caramel to the mix, and it quickly became an icon among Breton biscuits.
With the bonus of hazelnut slivers, these little temptations are sure to delight all sweet-toothed gourmands.
Artisan: LA MAISON D'ARMORINE.
If there’s one dessert in Bretton cuisine that people are madly passionate about, it’s butter caramel cream. And Salidou made by our artisan is maybe the bet we have ever tasted. Ideal on crepes, brioche or, best of all, your finger, this genuinely artisanal product is made from cream and premium Bretton butter, with no artificial colouring, preservatives or aromas. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, this treat will make you jump for joy!
Artisan: La Chocolatterie.
Of course, in a sweet box for gourmands with a refined palate, dark chocolate could not be missing. But we didn't want to put just any chocolate. And we found... the rare nugget! This chocolate is a pure wonder. Because in addition to being organic and from fair trade (rare!), the work done by this craftsman is just remarkable.
You may not know it, but a chocolate maker who roasts, crushes and refines cocoa beans himself to make his own chocolate is a (very) great rarity... Here the organic Madagascar bean produced in fair trade is used as a raw material. No palm oil added of course.
The use of coconut flower sugar instead of the classic cane sugar and the know-how of our craftsman confers a finesse to this 88% pure dark chocolate which will surprise you when, among many chocolate makers, this concentration in cocoa often gives a great harshness to the chocolate... You will tell us about it!
Vous ne m'avez pas déçue ! la présentation comme d'habitude super et les petites douceurs...un délice ! A quand l'abonnement sucré?;-9
Every month, we have our new gourmet boxes tested by independent testers (we don't pay them! We just ship them one of our new gourmet basket…), specialized in the world of gourmet boxes to get external advice (we would obviously put 10/10 each time...) and make our latest gourmet baskets known, because we are proud of them, and because we must play the game of criticism....
This month, our French Sweet Gourmet Box in LaBoxduMois website: Sweet rating!

Très joli coffret et les produits sont tous meilleurs les uns que les autres, encore plus en "confinement"....
