Delicious Gluten Free Coconut Macaroons from Poppies International Poppies International is passionate about making cookies and pastries to be enjoyed by everyone. Poppies' products are all about sharing, generosity and tradition, and have been ever since 1935. They originate from the spirit of Master Baker Popelier, who laid the foundations of the bakery in the heart of Flanders Fields, the granary of Belgium. He estab- lished a unique tradition of selecting the best quality ingre- dients and guaranteeing freshness – always, no matter what. He also taught what it takes to make good bakery products without pretension. That's why Poppies International makes cookies and pastries that taste great, offer moments of indul- gence and respond to your expectations. It may have out- grown the original, small Popelier bakery, but it hasn't outgrown the Master Baker's ideas about artisan quality and customer service. Poppies International's popular Belgian Coconut Macaroons have a high coconut content, which re- sults in a very rich coconut taste. It is proud to offer these non-GMO, kosher and gluten-free certified. It also has a chocolate flavored coconut macaroon which lets you enjoy both coconut and chocolate flavors blended together.

Suzanne Lombardi, the founding baker, used to spend time every summer with her grandmother in Maine. Her grandmother had an antique store called Dancing Deer and a fabulous recipe box. Suzanne used her grandmother's traditional recipe for a New England Molasses crackle cookie and added a unique twist with a special blend of fresh ground cinnamon and cloves. The Dancing Deer signature Molasses Clove cookie was born! It went on to win a sofi™ award in addition to many other accolades, and has been a favorite of customers and employees ever since. It is beloved by many for its delicious taste, simple ingredients and soft, chewy texture. If you could make a grand- mother's hug into a cookie, it would be the Molasses Clove.

"We wanted these new bar flavors to be absolutely amazing," said Chief Chocolatier Dave Owens. The Caramelized Blood Orange is crafted with a light touch of fresh rosemary and finished with a hazelnut and cocoa nib crunch. The overall experience is a rich, chocolatey and luxu- riously-smooth taste sensation. The new Honey Pepita Caramel is equally amazing and crafted with carefully-sourced, non-GMO tropical honey from Brazil. Many outside the industry do not realize that not all honey is pure honey. "Unless one is extremely careful, most honey used in mass retail production is adulterated," said Owens. Bissinger's sources a pure tropical honey to ensure perfection at every level. The light sprinkling of nutty pepitas adds another crunchy level to the tasting experience. Bissinger's signature European-style chocolate is classically crafted by Master Chocolatiers using the same technique and skills that have been handed down by generations of chocolatiers. Its proprietary cocoa blend, crafted with beans from the Cote D'Ivoire, yields a chocolate that's rich, velvety and never bitter. The other inspired flavors in this top-selling 10-Bar Chocolate Collection include Coconut Caramel, Coffee Toffee, Peanut Butter & Maple Oat Crunch, 38% Milk Chocolate, 60% Chocolate With Almonds, Banana Pecan Caramel, Dulce De Leche and 75% Dark Chocolate. All bars are also Rainforest Alliance Certified™. When it comes to handcrafting chocolates and confections, Bissinger's has a 350-year history on its side. The family was awarded the title of "Confiseur Imperial" (Confectioner to the King) from France's King Louis XIV in the 1600s. But Bissinger's is not one to rest on its laurels. Its innovative confections and award-winning chocolate has been featured on Oprah, the Food Network and is a celebrity fan fa- vorite.
