Every mom deserves some treats and pampering for Mothers Day. What better way to show your appreciate than with a box of decadent truffles or a pamper basket. Last year we were fortunate to have our Southern Belle Hat’s featured in Cooking with Paula Deen Magazine and Paula Deen chose it as her number 1 pick for Mother’s Day. The response was overwhelming and we soon sold out of the beautiful hat boxes. The good news is that we have brought them back this year and we have the Southern Belle Hat’s available again but be sure to order early to guarantee availability. <a href=”http://www.abountifulharvest.com/gifts_for_her.asp”>Click Here</a> to view our Mother’s Day Gift Selection but don’t forget there is plenty more options under our Chocolate section.

Everytime we see a new product on the local store shelves that has the gluten free label we buy it with trepidation, hoping for a new delicious treat but expecting a disappointment, since that’s what we’ve become used to. Then we found in our local grocery store the RiceWorks Crisps. Wow! These things are delicious. They only carry 2 flavors Sweet Chili & Salsa Fresca and they are packed with flavor. The texture of the crisps is just right. For a snack that is gluten & wheat free and vegan friendly it is very good. Since I am not gluten intolerant I know I can eat anything but for the most part I eat everything the same as my wife just because it’s easier and it helps her. Besides a healthier all natural diet without wheat and gluten can lead to great tasty meals. Since discovering the RiceWorks crisps I have eaten other regular brands and I have to say that given the choice now I am going for Riceworks every time. In fact if I don’t have any around I start craving them often. I’m definitely curious to try the other flavors. Check them out www.riceworkssnacks.com.

Over the past couple of years we’ve become used to Easter being in the middle of March so you can be forgiven if, like many of our customers, you have suddenly realized it is just a couple of weeks away. Yes Easter is on March 23rd this year!

Easter is a fun time at A Bountiful Harvest. All of the Chocolate Bunnies & Easter Baskets being made and shipped brings an extra ‘cuteness’ to our store and kitchens.

If you have been caught out by the early arrival of Easter don’t worry there is still time to order your gifts or a treat for yourself. A Bountiful Harvest has a wide variety of handmade Belgian Chocolate Bunnies and a large selection of Easter Baskets. If you don’t find exactly the kind of basket you are looking for give us a call at 423-876-1922 and let us customize something especially for you.

St. Patrick’s Day, the day everybody digs something green out of their closet, brags about what percentage of Irish blood they have in them (or how much they wish they had) and drinks green beer!

Our chocolatiers have been busy preparing for what is sure to be a busy time with hot items such as our Guinness Truffles, St. Patricks Day Fortune Cookies that include messages of good fortune, our St. Patrick’s Day Cookie Bouquet and our St. Paddy’s Day Pot O’Gold. So if you are planning a St. Patrick’s Day party or wish to send some green cheer to a friend check out our St. Patrick’s Day Gift Guide

Here at A Bountiful Harvest we are finally excited to launch our all natural Sugar Free Marzipan, which also is Gluten Free. Yes…you read that correctly an all natural Marzipan that is SUGAR FREE!!! Since I’m from Europe and grew up enjoying traditional European marzipan candies as well as marzipan on most cakes this is extremely exciting for us and we have received numerous requests from our loyal customers for sugar free marzipan. We have been taste testing with some of our customers that are both diabetic and have no diet restrictions and the feedback has been very positive. Even non-diabetics have commented about how both the taste and texture compares with a premium grade marzipan made with sugar. Our marzipan is a 66% almonds marzipan and is initially going to be available in 1lb tubs. Click here to view the marzipan on our website.

We will also be offering chocolate covered marzipan in 16pc & 25pc boxes and both milk & dark chocolate. These will be added to the online store shortly.

We hope you try it and would appreciate any feedback.

Wow! We started baking cupcakes just six months ago after repeated requests from our loyal customers who were enjoying our gluten free cakes. Since then the response has been overwhelming and we are so excited that everybody is enjoying our cupcakes as much as we are baking them.

Every day we are receiving requests to bake certain favorite flavors, we now have 24 flavors we are baking regularly! Don’t worry we are keeping a long list of these requests and when time permits we will work on developing the recipes for the new flavors. In the meantime we are excited to let everyone know that we have added 5 more new flavors to the website. We are also excited to now have our Gluten Free Non-Pariels & Gluten Free colored sugars that are all natural and colored naturally instead of artificial colorings. So now we have our new Gluten Free & Wheat Free White Chocolate Confetti Cupcakes with non-pariels and Gluten Free & Wheat Free Sparkle Cupcakes with colored sugar sprinkles. Then there is the delicious Almond Truffle Cupcakes that has a dark Belgian chocolate truffle in the middle, Chocolate Bliss for the chocolate lover and for something a little more fruity and fresh check out the new Peaches & Cream which has morsels of peaches throughout the mousse. All are available baked either sugar free or with sugar, except the non-pariels and sugar crystals are not available in sugar free.
