Dark Chocolate Pecan Clusters

The pecan cluster is candy at its most honest: good pecans, good dark chocolate, and nothing in the way. The dark chocolate’s depth plays beautifully against the buttery, toasty pecans — a cluster for people who read ingredient lists approvingly.

Each cluster is made by hand in our Black Hills kitchens. Prefer it sweeter? The milk chocolate pecan cluster is one shelf over.

Dark Chocolate Peanut Clusters

Crunchy roasted peanuts held together with rich dark chocolate — the workingman’s candy, elevated. The dark chocolate keeps it from ever being too sweet, and the peanuts keep every bite noisy in the best way.

Made by hand, sold by the cluster. This is the one to keep in the glovebox for Black Hills scenic overlooks.

Dark Chocolate Cashew Clusters

Cashews bring a soft, buttery crunch that makes them the most luxurious nut in the cluster case — and dark chocolate is their best audience, balancing all that richness with a gently bitter edge.

Each cluster is made by hand in small batches. Cashew loyalists should also meet the cashew bear paw, which adds our handmade caramel to the equation.

Dark Chocolate Almond Clusters

Almonds and dark chocolate are the sophisticated end of the cluster spectrum: clean, toasty crunch wrapped in chocolate with real depth. Less sweet, more savor — the cluster equivalent of taking the scenic route.

Hand-made at our shops in Keystone and Hill City, and available in milk chocolate when you want the mellower ride.

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup

Dark chocolate gives the peanut butter cup an edge: a little bitterness up front, all that creamy, salty peanut butter in the middle, and a clean finish that has you reaching for another. Hand-made, generously filled, and thick-walled the way a proper cup should be.

Part of our three-cup family with milk and white chocolate — collect them all, compare notes.

Dark Chocolate Almond Bear Paw

Almonds bring a clean, toasty crunch to the bear paw — and under a coat of rich dark chocolate, they make this version the pick for people who like their candy a little less sweet and a lot more interesting. In between sits the same creamy caramel we pour by hand for every paw we make.

Made in small batches in our Black Hills kitchens. If milk chocolate is more your speed, the milk chocolate almond bear paw is right over there.

Dark Chocolate Pecan Bear Paw

Nathan Kobielusz — Sun, 08 May 2016 07:15:20 +0000

For the dark chocolate crowd, this is the bear paw at its best: buttery pecans and creamy, handmade caramel finished in dark chocolate with real depth. The slight bitterness of the dark chocolate plays against the sweet caramel, and the pecans keep every bite interesting.

Like all our bear paws, each one is poured and dipped by hand, so every paw has its own character. Pairs dangerously well with a cup of coffee.

Dark Chocolate Cashew Bear Paw

Nathan Kobielusz — Sun, 08 May 2016 06:53:04 +0000

Cashews are the softest, butteriest nut we put in a bear paw — and dark chocolate is their perfect counterweight. This paw layers crunchy cashews with our creamy homemade caramel and finishes it all in dark chocolate that keeps the sweetness in check.

Hand-dipped in our Black Hills kitchens in small batches. Fair warning: of all the bear paws, this is the one that disappears from the box first.

Dark Chocolate Graham Cracker

Nathan Kobielusz — Tue, 03 May 2016 03:50:52 +0000

Some of the best candy is the simplest: a crisp graham cracker dipped whole in rich dark chocolate. The graham brings its honeyed, toasty crunch; the dark chocolate brings everything else. It’s the s’more’s dignified cousin — no campfire, no mess, all reward.

Hand-dipped at our shops, sold by the piece, and criminally good with coffee.

Dark Chocolate Caramels

For those who like their caramel with a little more backbone: our soft, handmade caramel centers dipped in rich dark chocolate. The darker coat cuts the sweetness and lets the buttery caramel take center stage.

Hand-dipped in small batches at our shops. Add a few sea salt versions to the bag and you’ve covered the whole caramel spectrum.
