The CUTTERY boards are
all the rage right now.
And today, we have a local company
that has a Valentine's Day twist to
the trend right now. That's right.
We are joined this morning by Mark
Callahan and Meredith Landford from
tempered chocolates in Denver.
And as you could hear,
things are getting a little,
you know, a little sweet here
in the kitchen this morning.
Good morning, everybody.
Good morning. Thanks for having us.
Thank you.
No, thank you.
Your title is head chocolatier.
Yes. Ohh wow. What a title.
I did not know.
That was a job I would like.
I would like to go back to specialize.
Yeah. So how did you guys
come up with this concept?
Well, actually we started at the
Denver Central Market in 2016 and the
markets located at 27th and Larimer.
We also, you can also find our products
at the Denver Central Market at the
airport and that's in terminal A OK,
I'm and yeah we we're all about.
Chocolate and celebrating holidays.
So for Valentine's Day,
these are some of the offerings
that we have available at the shop.
We've got chocolate dipped strawberries,
these we call our puff daddies.
They're dipped vanilla bean marshmallows.
We've got mini pretzels,
Liege waffles and then this
is a new product of ours.
It's called the art bar.
So we actually hand paint the
design on the outside and then
we have inclusions on the inside
or on the back like freeze dried
strawberries or rose petals or.
Things of that nature and Meredith can
tell you what these are some of our
featured bonbons for Valentine's Day.
Yes, this is the Joanie loves Chachi.
It's a strawberry shell, and it has
strawberry cream inside the Joan Jett,
which is a dark chocolate shell,
which makes sense, Joe.
And the black part.
Yeah, there we go. OK.
And then it has a Cabernet
ganache inside Single Ladies,
which is the third one right here.
And that's among chocolate
shell with Kiwi. How
did you guys come up with all
the different names?
That sounds like the fun part.
He's definitely clever.
It's chocolate, so we all have
fun and coming up with creative
ideas, flavors and names and then also
charcuterie boards obviously are so hot.
So we figured why not do it in chocolate?
Yeah, yeah. So our charcuterie
board includes Liege waffles.
We've got some shortbreads.
We've got our art bar.
There's a six piece Bonbon set,
which is this one,
and then we've got four strawberries
that are included in it. This
is actually chocolate. It's amazing.
Entire box is edible.
Everything's edible about that.
So it has our 12 pieces of bonbons inside.
The entire box is made of chocolate.
So you could eat the lid. The box.
I love that. I love this. OK.
You guys do such a good job.
Because it's not just tasty.
It is so beautiful, you almost
don't even want to pick it up.
No, don't say that. Ohh
that all the time. He's like,
oh, this is like a work of art.
I don't even wanna eat it. We make it
for you. Don't. No, no, don't.
Don't get me wrong. Here.
I'm gonna eat it. Yeah, yeah.
No, that's absolutely gonna happen.
Right there.
And then also this coming weekend.
They're bundling with flowers,
flowers on the vine.
It's all local flower shop on 18th.
They also have a new one in McGregor Square.
So we have a bundle of the six piece
bond bonds along with a bouquet of
flowers so you can come in one stop shop,
flower pop up. I love it.
You guys are like clearly
getting into the Valentine's
ohh. Absolutely, absolutely.
I imagine all are wildly popular.
Definitely. Yeah, yeah.
OK, so which one?
If I'm gonna try one because
I'm gonna try one, just one.
One. Do you reckon 1 right now?
Save the Joan Jett. I personally,
I love the Jonah, but I love. Can
I try it now? Absolutely.
Alright, let's see this.
Corey, would you like one?
Well, I'm gonna
have one off camera. The
like I said one. This is
so great too because Jordan is not a
huge shark coterie cheese board fan.
But he loves the sweets.
So this is perfect for anyone who has
a sweet tooth like Jordan. Or you know,
we had the boards made specifically for
us by a local vendor here in Denver.
That's local. It's a furniture
manufacturer here in Denver.
So we contracted with
them to have our boards.
I'm glad you bring that up because
you know Colorado likes the shop.
Yeah. Yes. So we have to keep
it all one more time, tell
people where they can find you.
So we're located at the Denver
Central Market by 27th and Larimer.
Again, some of our products are at
the Denver Central Market at the
airport and terminal A around gate 40.
OK and yeah, and actually
some local shops do sell out.
There's beaten Yaro,
which is a floral place in the source hotel.
You can buy our bonbons there.
Flowers on the vine.
You can buy our bonbons there.
Yeah. And if you see me at any of these
locations multiple times in one day,
don't judge. Just mind your business.
Yeah, don't judge. Thank you
guys so much for coming in
because I have a happy Valentine's Day.
This all looks very tasty. We
need to try some things now.
So we're gonna set it over to you, Ed.
