Sweet!
Daily Grommet found Sassy Sauces by following the crowd. Joanne was at a local craft fair and noticed one table with dozens of folks eagerly waiting (stomachs growling) for their chance to taste one of pastry chef Maureen Harder’s delicious gourmet dessert sauces.
Harder, who trained at Peter Kump’s Cooking School in New York, did her time in some of the best kitchens in the Boston area, including Grill 23, Birch Street Bistro, and the Federalist. Sassy Sauces is her baby now, and we instantly fell in love with her flavors, her quality (all-natural ingredients include Vermont cream and butter, and French and Belgian chocolate), and her adorable packaging.
The Daily Grommet sampler pack includes 9 oz. jars of spicy dark chocolate (wonderfully complex), rum caramel (a hit with sophisticated foodies!), milk chocolate caramel (our testers’ favorite), and bittersweet chocolate (amazing). And as for what you do with them, the possibilities are endless. Sure you can spoon over ice cream or cake, but you could also have a Valentine’s day fondue night, make semi-homemade truffles, or add milk to make hot chocolate. Yummy and versatile. Sweet!

This sampler pack includes some of my favorites: Bittersweet Chocolate, Rum Caramel, Spicy Dark Chocolate and Milk Chocolate Caramel. We make the sauces for people who are passionate about chocolate and care about eating only all natural and quality ingredients. Try the sauces over ice cream, cakes, pies or use as fondue. We hope you or your favorite chocoholic enjoys them!

We love them all!!

Sassy Sauces make great teacher gifts- my children have given them out and they are always the teachers' favorite gifts. Besides the caramel, the spicy chocolate is really good over vanilla pound cake.
