First place in the 2009 Oregon Chocolate Festival for Chocolate Candy (Best Marriage of Chocolate and Candy) went to a new company, Homemade Confections of Medford.
In addition to their English Toffee being exceptional, I liked their Gourmet Crumbles, bits and pieces of English Toffee, Peanut Brittle, Milk Chocolate covered Macadamia Nuts and Semi-sweet chocolate. I used some of this in a cheesecake and it was fantastic.
Owner, Judith Galindo developed a magic combination that works. When Brenda and I were judges at the Oregon Chocolate Festival in March 2009, we met Judith. Brenda discovered Homemade Confections first while I was sampling another entrant's chocolate. She took me over saying, "You have to taste this." She was right.
Judith had recently started her company. Now, it is growing like crazy with a lot of hard work, marketing and people loving the taste.
She was eager to share her product with the International Food Wine & Travel Writers on its Conference at Sea. She made our batch of treats, the night before shipping so we could experience it fresh.
Thank you Judith, we all thoroughly enjoyed having your treat as a pillow gift. We hope you do well again this year.
For more information on Homemade Confections, you can call or write Judith. She welcomes your questions.
