Chez Christophe has partnered up with 3 local Foodies in Metro Vancouver – Deanna Woo, Eating with Kirby, and Foodology (that’s us!) to create 3 unique chocolate bon bons as part of the limited edition Lunar New Year 9-piece chocolate box.
We spent the last few months product testing with Chez Christophe to get the right balance of flavours. Our inspirations behind our chocolate bon bons are from the flavours of our childhood. Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s as Chinese Canadians, we were influenced by a lot of delicious snacks and flavours.

Your creation is the one that I am most excited!! I remember as a kid, I was only given Hawthorn Flakes (that specific brand too), after drinking my Chinese Medicine. It was definitely a treat I looked forward to!!
