    While some chocolatiers rely on candy forests and cocoa waterfalls to bring attention to their brand, Jason Andelman’s creative, high-end treats speak for themselves. Today’s deal is your golden ticket to his shop, Artisan Confections, where you can pay $10 for $20 to spend on masterfully crafted sweets that have received attention from places like The Washington Post and Daily Candy. This Clarendon confectionary heaven is full of small-batch items, including bon bons decorated by local artists — flavors include rum caramel, chipotle chile, or Tahitian vanilla bean. Or, pick up some crispy peanut butter bars, Fleur de Sel caramels, or bittersweet hot chocolate mix. And $1 of every purchase will go to the Shenandoah National Park Trust as part of Andelman’s Crooked Trail Trek. One bite and you’ll see chocolate bliss can live outside of your (pure) imagination.

    This Could Be Your Big Break

    You’ve seen the chocolates.  You know they’re hot.  Now’s your chance to be a part of the hotness! Artisan Confections is now accepting submissions of original artwork to be transformed into chocolate.  We’re known for our bonbons being as beautiful as they are delicious, and right now we’re hunting for new and unique artwork to feature on our seasonal flavors.  Novice and professional artists alike are encouraged to send in an unlimited number of submissions, but only four will be selected to become part of our collection for the next year!

    Our bonbons are available at our shop in Clarendon and at other select retailers in the DC area, and the names of our chosen artists will be included in every box of chocolates that we sell.  That’s thousands of boxes a year going out with your name featured on our flavor guide.  Whether you’re a small-scale crafter cracking into the Etsy market, a polished graphic designer looking for more exposure, or a student with a knack for doodling and a craving for a little fame, that’s a whole lot of free publicity! Plus, we’ll give the four selected artists a $100 gift certificate to enjoy the delicious fruits of their labors.  What other contest offers the chance for creative fulfillment and an upscale chocolate binge?

    For details and artistic guidelines, send an email to Jason@artisanconfections with the subject line “Art.”  No phone calls, please.  The deadline for submissions is September 20th, so get to sketching soon!

    Autumn Open House

    Those of you who’ve been with us for a few years know that this is the time of year that we like to mix things up. Chocolatiers, you see, are a fickle breed. We’re ready to make a major change. How major? 11 out of 15 flavors major. We’re keeping a few of our favorites around, but adding a bunch of new and fun flavors to the lineup. Two of our most requested flavors ever will become regulars (sorry trendsetters, still no bacon) but that also means that we’ll have to say goodbye to some of our very popular current flavors.

    If you’ve been playing along at home, you know what that means: sale! So, join us for our Autumn Open House on Saturday, October 23rd from 11 to 3. We’ll be sampling all of our new products, and offering deep discounts on outgoing bonbons. Need more incentive? Check out next week’s reminder email for a sweet coupon good only at our Open House.
