Our Chocolate at Maison

G. E. Gallas

We’re excited to announce that our chocolate bars are now carried at Maison, a European Patisserie in Brunswick, Maryland (maisonbrunswick.com). It’s the perfect time to stock up on artisanal, literary-inspired chocolate bars as well as delectable pastries before any more snow comes our way.

The following flavors are currently available at Maison:

  • Alice in Wonderland: Candied Rose Petals in Milk Chocolate.

  • A Little Princess: Masala Chai in Milk Chocolate.

  • The Call of Cthulhu: Nori Seaweed, Ginger Spice, and Candied Ginger in Dark Chocolate.

  • One Thousand and One Nights: Pistachios and Apricot in Goat’s Milk Chocolate.

  • Frankenstein: Raspberries and Icelandic Lava Salt in Dark Chocolate with Milk.

If you live in or near Brunswick, we hope you’ll go check out this delicious and local small business. Please be sure to say hello to the owner, Emma, for us!

 

Ink + Riddle Order Drop-Off | July 2025

G. E. Gallas

This past Thursday, we dropped off an order at Ink + Riddle in Clarksburg, Maryland! Ink + Riddle (inkandriddle.com) is a really unique and exciting store that carries everything creative — art supplies, stationery, board games, books, puzzles, and beyond. They offer many great activities including story time for kids, 3D printing classes, and creative workshops.

Ink + Riddle is still located in the Clarksburg Premium Outlets, but they recently moved from Unit 432 to Unit 408 (where there’s more foot traffic).

They’ve been carrying our literary-inspired chocolate bars since 2023, and we love visiting their vibrant and intellectually stimulating store!

If you live in or near Clarksburg, Maryland, we hope you’ll go check out this fantastic small business.
