(San Francisco, CA) – Coco-luxe Confections is a new confection company that
creates deliciously playful chocolates inspired by classic dessert flavors. Chocolatier
Stephanie Marcon combines artisan dark, milk and white chocolate with natural
ingredients for chocolates that satisfy the demanding palate of the premium chocolate
lover.
Genesis
Stephanie, the middle child in an Italian-American household, is an avowed foodie and
lifelong sweet tooth. She and her siblings grew up helping their mom and grandmother
with the daily cooking and celebration meals. They were encouraged to experiment
and she recalls making desserts with her Easy Bake oven and creating Easter and
Christmas candies and Christmas cookies.
After and MBA and ten years in corporate America, she decided to embrace her
passion for fine chocolate as a career. She enrolled in and graduated from the pastry
program at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone and worked in the kitchen of
renowned chocolatier Michael Recchiuti before launching Coco-luxe Confections in
January 2006.
“I saw and tasted dozens of super premium chocolates but not many that celebrate
classic American flavors,” says Stephanie. “I decided to make high quality chocolate in
retro American flavors that are whimsical, fun and delicious – better than what you
remember having as a child. I think of it as comfort food in a high end form.”
The Chocolates
The creation of each new Coco-luxe flavor starts in her kitchen where Stephanie
experiments with ingredients and develops recipes. She insists on using the best
including local cream, whole vanilla beans, and natural peanut butter. Her sense of
fun and insistence on quality comes across in her chocolates. Coco-luxe flavors include
After Dinner Mint, dark chocolate ganache swirled with mint; German Chocolate, milk
chocolate coconut ganache seasoned with toasted pecans and coconut; Angel
Food, white chocolate coats a square of vanilla bean white chocolate ganache; and
Banana Split, milk chocolate surrounds milk chocolate-banana ganache studded with
bits of dried cherries.
