For Courtney Dudman Donley, it all began with a Christmas gift.
According to Courtney’s C Salt Gourmet website, she first began crafting Christmas chocolates as gifts for friends and family. Her creations, complete with festive red cherries and green pistachio nuts, were a huge hit–and a small business was born.
Today, Courtney’s C Salt Gourmet includes hand-delivered truffles, pine-nut and pistachio brittle, and yes, her cherry-and-pistachio chocolate–which won an OC Weekly “Best Homemade Chocolate” award!
(Now–full disclosure. At the Patchwork Indie Arts and Crafts Festival, Noelophile™ took full advantage of an offered free-sample C Salt Gourmet caramel. Yum-m-m-mmmm!)
And if creator Courtney offers you one of her luscious, rich, buttery-tasting hand-made concoctions, you might be well-advised to do the same!
