Death by Chocolate It starts with the crust, made with Oreos and rich creamy butter. Then comes the filling - free trade bittersweet chocolate chips, locally sourced fresh egg yolks, thick velvety whipping cream, and just a touch of Kahlua - all cooked together into a dense dark chocolate delight. It's not the least bit healthy but it sends you to culinary heaven. This dessert is meant to be shared! Delivered to your home, one week advance notice, please. 1 0 000025.0 25 .0001E7 10

Reusable Beeswax Wraps Sustainable, natural alternative to plastic wrap. Wrap up cheese, fruit, vegetables, bread, and more. Cover a bowl or pack a snack for your next adventure. Use the warmth of your hands to soften the wrap and form over a piece of food, a bowl, or a container. As the wrap cools, it creates a seal and stores food naturally. To clean, simply wipe off or rinse in cool water and air dry. The natural antibacterial properties of beeswax help to keep food fresh and allow these wraps to be used again and again. Pack of three, assorted sizes (approx. 9"x10", 10"x12", and round 11" dia.). Hand-made using beeswax from the Whites' own apiary. 3 0 000018.0 18 .00015E7 15
