Here at Lilify, we can not get over how absolutely divine Deux Cranes confections are. Beyond most gourmet chocolate bars, this is small batch, artisanal chocolate handmade in California - a true delight.

The creme brulee bar (pictured here) is sweet and creamy, combining aromatic white chocolate and a hint of vanilla-scented milk chocolate for balance with caramelized sugar for a lovely crunch. It’s a sumptuous indulgence. Available online and in the shop at 281 Lighthouse Avenue.
