About CocoaNymph:
It’s almost Valentine’s Day. If you haven’t yet met CocoaNymph Rachel Sawatzky, it’s time to get acquainted. This extraordinary Kits-based chocolatiere was on her way to med school until an experimental batch of home made chocolates (recipe from Bon Appetit) when so right that Sawatzky shifted her career goals. The microbiology major began a lifetime focus on food science, particularly the behaviour of chocolate.
CocoaNymph Chocolates & Confections (3739 West 10th Ave.) is where Sawatzky creates, displays and distributes her handmade, artisanal chocolates and confections to the world.
With over 50 rotating truffle variations, not to mention the CocoaNymph’s signature Sea Nymph Bar (64% Belgian dark chocolate bar enhanced with fleur de sel and English toffee), selection is no easy feat. Let me make it harder for you.
CocoaNymph for Valentine’s Day:
CocoaNymph’s new Valentine’s Day truffles include Luscious (a cherry liqueur ganache covered with dark chocolate), Mischief (a champagne ganache with a milk chocolate shell), Desire (a milk chocolate and cinnamon ganache coated with dark chocolate) and Blush (a dark chocolate and rose ganache coated with a smooth milk chocolate).
CocoaNymph is also participating in the city-wide Hot Chocolate Festival. When you stop by her shop to pick up a truly special Valentine’s Day gift, make sure and get a mug of cardamom dark hot chocolate with a coconut orange marshmallow for yourself.
