Poco Dolce has got Dad's back. Or maybe your back as to what to get Dad for Father's Day.
Poco Dolce, which literally translates from Italian as "not too sweet," has crafted a basket of limited edition goodies with dear old dad in mind. First they won us over with their Olive Oil Sea Salt Bar, and now they've done it again. We stopped by their warehouse and were greeted with samples from this new collection. We nibbled on the Porter Truffles with crushed almonds and the Whiskey Bon Bons, but the Spicy Peanut Brittle had us surreptitiously stealing seconds.
There was the familiar salty crunch of a peanut (maybe from one of those baseball games with Dad?) and the sweet, almost caramel flavor (of a cracker jack?), but it was that spicy kick that crept up on you after a moment that had us reaching for more.
Kathy Wiley, founder and head chocolatier of Poco Dolce, has been working on this Peanut Brittle for a while and was waiting for the right occasion to bring it out. The chocolate business tends to peak during holiday season and die down after Mother's Day, but Poco Dolce's nine man team has been busy trying to keep up with the demand for their Father's Day Basket. In order to maintain the utmost level of quality, Poco Dolce chocolates are only available in house or online.
