Ginger Elizabeth

Superior gourmet chocolates ... in Sacramento? Yep, Ginger Elizabeth makes them with creamy ganaches and natural ingredients.

The most distinctive, best executed flavors are:

• Passion Fruit
• Olmec Spice
• Orange Jasmine Tea
• Yirgacheffe White Coffee

The other flavors are nothing to sneeze at, either. The Palet D'Or, Raspberry, and Vanilla Bean Caramel also stand out.
