South 'n France Gourmet Chocolate Bon Bons

Our South 'n France Christmas catalog ships today.  It hardly seems possible that this is our fourth holiday season in the bon bon business. We've come a long way since that first year, I can tell you that! For our first holiday season, we didn't have a catalog, just a tri-fold...

I like the word voluptuous. For me, it's one of those words that sounds like its meaning...

The fun we have at our Bon Bon Parties is often compared to the hilarity of that famous I Love Lucy episode - the one where Lucy and Ethel go to work in a chocolate factory. They can't keep up with the speed of the conveyor belt, so they stuff their pockets, their mouths, and...

When guests come to our place for a Bon Bon Party, we try to incorporate lots of special touches - fresh flowers, candles for ambiance, great background music, and a pleasing bathroom. We can't help but smile when the first guest visits the bathroom and then comes back to the party and...

Variety is the spice of life. It's why we have seven different bon bon flavors and why we take great pleasure in helping brides and grooms design custom wedding favor boxes that capture the spirit of their special day.  When Pascal and I got married, long before the idea of bon bon...

Before Ratatouille, there was Anatole.Although I do not yet have children, I have a good-sized collection of children's books that grace my personal bookshelves. Some of them I acquired thanks to very fortunate connections (friends who worked in children's publishing); some of them were...

Bearing my self-proclaimed title of Bon Bon Queen has taught me many lessons. I'm perfectly comfortable with the regal side of my nature, as I believe that there is a queen in every woman...

You might think that all of our customers are women who enjoy watching afternoon soap operas while lounging on the sofa eating bon bons. Man, oh man.....

For me, flowers are much like chocolate. What is there not to love? I guess that's why I so enjoy reading Debrah Graham's, of Bloomers Floral Design, blog. Debra has great style (I love her vintage-inspired brochure!) and she shares a philosophy similar to my own...

Every trade has its tools. Carpenters use hammers, nails, screwdrivers, drills, and saws. Seamstresses use scissors, needles, and threads. Chefs have their knives, pots, pans, whisks, spatulas, and blenders...

Who's got the cutest little baby face? We’ll if you ask us, we'd have to say our nephew, Carter...

I decided to go on a diet, so I started researching diet programs that I thought would be appropriate for a woman who spends her days around vats of melted chocolates and freezers full of bon bons. It didn't take me long to find this educational magnet from allposters.com. Can we say...

I’m verbal. Very verbal. And, like many verbal people, I'm math-challenged. My SAT scores reflected that. I think I got something like a 1220 on the verbal portion and a 20 on the math portion...

When I was in college, I took a road trip with a friend to Wisconsin. It was one of those trips where we didn't have a fixed destination; we were just going to let the road take us where it may. We went on a hay ride, ate fried cheese curd, and visited a cow museum...
