TV appearance

Wednesday, I had the opportunity to do a cooking segment on Good Things Utah on channel 4 ABC. It was a fun experience and they asked if I would come back and do more. Ryan and Mel came to help. Ryan took this photo of the girls and me and Mel.
Thursday we set up for the Utah Chocolate Show. A very busy week!!

Web site is up

We have been really busy getting orders out for November. We produced 2000 containers of toffee, 1000's of bags of popcorn and bark and lots of chocolates. I will be on Good Things Utah tomorrow-Wednesday November 19. I'll be making dark chocolate ganache and dipping. Friday and Saturday is the Utah Chocolate Show and we will have a booth and I'll be teaching a class each day on tempering.
We sold our chrome plating business in October and that gave me the freedom and time to get my candy made. It is a lot of work, but work I enjoy. Check out the web site. www.sweetchocolot.com and let me know what you think.

Website is coming

My website is under construction so I thought I would give you a preview. Please give suggestions and corrections to my About Us info:

Chocolot is an artisan chocolatier located in Ogden Utah. Ruth Kendrick has been making candy and using chocolate for more than 50 years. She is a second-generation chocolatier, having learned at her mother’s (Pauline H. Atkinson) side. Ruth and Pauline co-authored HP Books Candymaking, including all their favorite recipes and helpful hints. They have both taught classes in candymaking for many years, both together and separately.
Ruth has made traditional chocolates for years, but in the Spring of 2008 she attended the Callebaut Chocolate Academy in Montreal, completing the course work for a certificate in the Advanced and Expert levels. That experience changed her way of making chocolates. Instead of hand dipping chocolates, she now uses molds and colored cocoa butters to enhance the taste and appearance of her chocolates. She still fork dips some pieces with a thin shell of couveture and uses cocoa butter transfer sheets and texture sheets. Everything is made by hand in very small batches. The finest ingredients are sourced from around the world bringing the exotic as well as the traditional flavors to her confections.
This summer she has been working on chocolate covered popcorns. This is a new area for Ruth and she has come up with some great flavor combinations that make you want more. English toffee has always been a favorite treat and Ruth has included that in her offerings.
Her personal philosophy is that her candy must be the best tasting, freshest, and most exciting chocolates available. She is passionate about her chocolates and hopes you enjoy them as well.
Ruth has been a guest presenter on a Chocolate Cruise with Princess Cruises, and has appeared on the Food Network with Bobby Flay and Al Roker.

Chocolot artisan chocolates My unique confections are handcrafted from the finest ingredients. I use only E. Guittard or Callebaut couveture chocolate with a high cocoa butter content. Each piece is selected for flavor combinations with the particular chocolate, whether dark, milk or white. Colored cocoa butter is applied to some pieces. My popcorn is a moreish treat. You always want more!! I make it with real white chocolate, cinnamon and almond toffee bits. I also make almond toffee covered with chocolate and sprinkled with almonds.
My chocolates can be towered together for an impressing gift, or use any of my confections in your own gift baskets.

My large box with the full assortment.

All three boxes.

I don't have all the photos yet, but should have them by the end of the week. We are working on my website but don't have it ready yet. I have entered the world of chocolate popcorn. My favorite flavor is Cinnamon Toffee. Everyone tells me it is great.

My boxes are here!

The brightly colored bands/labels are a fun addition to the boxes. If you look closely, you will notice that the boxes do not have the Chocolot printed on them. These were mock-up boxes to test for size. The bands are just samples also. We are still working on them.

This is the "introductory" size. 6 pieces of lusciousness. This box is the real box with the foil stamp. don't you love it?

These are the three sizes of boxes. They hold 6,12,& 24 pieces.

These are my new-to-me melters. Each holds 50# of chocolate. I had no idea how much that really was! I should NEVER run out of chocolate now.
