LIMITED EDITION ST.PATRICKS DAY CHOCOLATES!

Luck of Da Irish To Ya! 

Milk and White Chocolate Shamrocks
Since the #Irish and many other nationalities consider #shamrocks to be a symbol of good luck, we wanted to pass this luck on to those who don't have time to hunt for the illusive four leaf #clover. Well, and of course we knew it would be even better if you could actually EAT (and enjoy) your lucky #shamrock ;) This yummy treat is made from a combination of milk and white #chocolate which is then carefully hand painted with a green cocoa butter, making it the perfect little treat. Simple and delicious.

Lucky Brew Chocolates!

Of course,  what would St.Patrick's Day be without #BEER!! We have created a unique recipe for deliciousness - BEER GANACHE!!

Winter Ale and Lucky Brews!
These designer chocolate truffles are a beer and dark ganache,  which is covered in a creamy milk chocolate and dark chocolate, then topped with a #lucky green #clover on top :). The Mission Springs Brewing Company's 'Mashing Pumpkin Winter Ale' beer used in these little gems was carefully chosen by Bowen Island Beer and Wine store's Paul Rickett to ensure the perfect balance between the two flavours.  We have only produced 144 of these delectable truffles, so come try them before they are gone!! Trust us, you don't want to miss out!!!!!


Check out this article in  the Bowen Island Undercurrent  to see more on how the "Lucky Brew Truffle"was born!!!

A VALENTINES DAY TO REMEMBER

SAVE PAPER, EAT CHOCOLATE! This time of year rolls around and we are usually stumped for gift ideas and want to step it up a notch from the traditional box of Lindtt. Well, we've made it so that you can now actually eat the box! We are featuring our infamous #organicchocolates in an edible box!  Handcrafted for your pleasure, this gorgeous box comes with three of Cocoa West's famous truffles in a hand-crafted box of milk chocolate - perfect for sharing! Or, if they're more of a teddy bear lover, check out our ADORABLE "Be Mine" chocolate bear! We also have very tradtional foiled chocolates in pretty reds and shiny silvers! 
 
These creations are available only in our #Bowen Island shop and for a limited time, so if you need another reason to come to Bowen for Valentines, this could be it! It’s the perfect excuse to hop on the short ferry ride for a day! And, if you can’t make it over on #Valentines Day, give your significant other a weekend getaway in the romantic and luxurious chocolate suite! Not only is this beautiful suite located just around the corner from #CocoaWest, but it is also seconds away from the Bowen Island Spa, and many delicious restaurants!

It is the perfect time of year for a #romantic walk along the beach or a stroll through the lush trails with a mug of our delicious hot cocoa or go for a relaxing kayak adventure! And, as mentioned before we are having a special on – STAY TWO NIGHTS AND WE WILL TAKE CARE OF THE THIRD! No excuses now. Come see us!!
