Chocolatier/Owner of the best damn little chocolate shop on the internet, shipping nationally. Want some? Go here: marcenetmercantile.com

I don't argue with MAGA. I tell them that I hope they get everything they voted for. That usually shuts them up.
10/ Thank you for reading this far. 😀

TL;DR: We are closing the chocolate shop at
@marcenetmerc
until at least autumn 2025, but you can get sweet treats for the next 2 weeks or until the chocolate runs out. Use code SPRING25 for 10% off your order.

5/ It's going to be a great spring and summer of berry picking and jam and jelly making. Hell, if the price of eggs ever comes down, we'll be making cookies as well. ♥️https://marcenetmercantile.com/p/lemon-saffron-marmalade/7gn5z83J9sqS2LLGLVkS

4/ If the price of chocolate falls, we may reopen the chocolate part of the business in the fall.

There are few things in this world I love to do than being a chocolate maker and a chocolatier.

I am heartbroken.

3/ We've made the decision to close up the chocolate part of our shop after that chocolate is gone, which we estimate will be about 2 weeks.

2/ Chocolate makers saw this coming. After Christmas, I bought 100 lbs of chocolate at a slightly elevated price, but nothing like what it is today.

1/ As most of you probably know, I own a bakery/chocolate shop called @Marcenetmerc marcenetmercantile.com
Because of the threat of tariffs on agricultural goods and the effects of climate change, chocolate prices are at a 50-year high. You can read about it more here.

Anyone? Asking for some friends. A lot of them.

Here's my pal Ted, keeping me company while I spend most of my days in bed w/long covid. ❤️ I've closed my chocolate shop until at least mid-February, which means I'm missing the holiday that has always been the best for us. If it sounds like I'm feeling sorry for myself, you're right. 😆 It will pass

I love it when the flight attendants are like “fuck it, take the can and the second bottle of vodka.” Just in case I want to add more booze to my cranberry juice (which I did).

Why were haven't raised our prices at marcenetmercantile.com in nearly 3 years and have no intention on doing so now.

Also, there's no such thing as "raw chocolate". I make fruit to bar chocolate. Cacao beans need to go through a fermentation and roasting process that raises the temperature so it cannot be deemed raw. More from Santa Barbara.

I made these this morning and my husband says they are "UH MAZE ING". And he doesn't even like cookies that much.

Traditional Italian Florentines with a twist: I made them into sandwich cookies. 🤯

Do you like turtles?

Not the swimmy kind. The chocolate, caramel, and pecan kind.

This is our take on the turtle, but we call it the handprinted Pixie Bell!
