 Sewickley Specials

Father's Day is this Sunday and Village Candy has some new chocolates sure to make dad happy.  At Dolfin, their master chocolate makers cultivate the intense andaromatic taste of real Belgian chocolate. Powerful, full-flavored and sometimes extreme in the case of the dark chocolates, soft and tender in the case of the milk chocolates. New to the store: Dark Chocolate with Grilled Almonds, Dark Chocolate with Fresh Ginger and Dark Chocolate with Crystallized Orange, along with pure Milk, Dark and Extra Dark Bars. Also new, two fruit-filled chocolate bars from Germany. Porta's Waldfrucht is a delicious Milk Chocolate with forest fruit-flavored filling, and the Erdbeer bar is filled with a delightful strawberry. From Asher's comes a dark chocolate mint smoothie. Similar in texture to their sensuously decadent peanut butter smoothie, these are filled with a refreshingly smooth minty temptation. They are sure to become a new hit from Asher's.
