We are thrilled to announce our fourth annual 12 Nights of Chocolate taking place December 1st through 12th. Each year, we invite chefs to take over our cafe and create a menu that follows two rules: use our chocolate, and don’t hold back. Over the years, we’ve hosted some of the best chefs in the country who have created menus ranging from quail and duck with mole, to the classic Mont Blanc dessert made by a three star Michelin chef. All proceeds go to the SF-Marin Food Bank, for whom last year’s event raised over 60,000 meals. This year, the evenings range from a seven-course tasting menu—both sweet and savory—to a family-style brunch after dark, with cocktails. More information and tickets here.
This Thursday, join us for an after hours party in the chocolate factory to celebrate everything we love: the partners we collaborate with, treats, and sharing our chocolate and factory with you! One of our favorite things about making chocolate in San Francisco is all of the amazing people we get to work with and learn from—not to mention the delicious and beautiful things they make. Come welcome in a holiday all about appreciation with Dandelion and the makers and mongers we couldn’t live without. The party will feature raclette from Vagabond Cheese, bitters-focused beverages from Workhorse Rye (non-alcoholic), letterpressed cards from Shotwell Paper Mill, as well as pastries and hot chocolates from the Dandelion kitchen. Look out for nib-infused panna cotta with a passion fruit cream, mini dulce de leche bites, and mini s’mores! Dandelion staff will lead three tours throughout the evening of the chocolate factory and, as always, there will be tastes available of our single origin chocolate bars.
