Crafted just across the Bay in Berkeley, this five-piece Casa de Chocolates collaboration set of caramel-filled Bonbons celebrates cajeta — the iconic Mexican goat’s-milk caramel from Celaya, Guanajuato. Founders Linda Sanchez and Jesus “Chuche” Chavez embrace a hecho a mano ethos, blending tradition, authenticity, and community in each small-batch creation, using local, organic, and ethically sourced ingredients. For these Bonbons, Casa de Chocolates teammates Mark, Brayan, and Sarah source thick, sweet, slightly tangy cajeta directly from Celayan artisans who preserve traditional techniques, slowly simmering fresh goat’s milk and sugar over low heat until thick and robust. The trio complement the creamy, subtly earthy caramel with a thin layer of silky ganache infused with organic canela (Ceylon cinnamon) ganache; while a delicate, hand-painted shell of our mellow, honey- and almond-noted 70% Tumaco, Colombia chocolate completes the balanced, soulful bite.
