Christmas Cookies, macaron style! The aroma alone from our vanilla bean infused buttercream is like breathing in the best fresh-out-of-the-oven Christmas butter cookies. Taking a bite is....well, you’ll have to taste for yourself... Now waiting for you in both store locations. Curbside available. Have a great weekend everyone!

Snickerdoodle, the Macaron! My all time favorite cookie reimagined as a macaron. With buttery, creamy, white chocolate ganache infused with Vietnamese cinnamon, gluten free soft almond meringues sprinkled with Ceylon cinnamon and sugar crystals, my love of cinnamon is real! Available in both store locations, curbside available as well. Enjoy!

Our Candy Cane macarons are here! A subtle infusion of organic peppermint into insanely creamy and milky Valrhona white chocolate ganache, combined with the crunch of sugar crystals, and the soft almond meringues, is like biting into something quite wonderful. These Macs will be hanging around in-stores starting today. Enjoy!

The Jelly Donut, our new dairy free Hanukkah macarons: stuffed with fresh raspberry purée jam filling and dusted with powdered sugar. The tartness of the fresh raspberry purée balances beautifully with the almond macarons and sweetness of the powered sugar. Come in and get a box of eightone for each night. In-stores only, limited supply. Happy Hanukkah!

To everyone who’s cried the turtle blues, cheer up, they’re back! Dark chocolate. Sea salt. Vanilla bean caramel. Roasted pecans. Let it sink in. Then come in Saturday, grab a turtle, and start your weekend on a happy note. Cheers. Music: Janis Joplin, Turtle Blues, from the album, Box of Pearls.

If you think for one minute that we’re using Makers 46 Bourbon, brown sugar caramel, and roasted pecans in these new velvety chocolate ganache filled macarons, well you’ve got another thing comingthis weekend! Stay safe friends, and enjoy our take on pecan pie...

It’s time. The return of our Pumpkin Cheesecake macarons. We make fresh pumpkin pie. We make vanilla bean cheesecake. We whirl ‘em together and pipe this glorious taste of fall between fragrant Vietnamese cinnamon-infused soft gluten free almond meringues. A lot of words. A lot of flavor. A lot to fall in love with. In-stores starting Friday. Cheers!

Whoa! Over 300 Peppermint Patty Loves Chuck truffles sold yesterday between store sales and call-in orders, a new one day record for a single truffle! Truly, we are so grateful and cannot thank all of you enough for all the love! Thank you! Have a wonderful weekend friends, cheers!

For all bleeding heart fans of Twilight, this bonbon’s for you. Bella & Edward, with silky blood orange caramel...love at first bite. Bella & Edward will be hanging around until October 31 then in a flash they’ll be gone. See you tomorrow! Have a safe weekend everyone.

Peppermint Patty Loves Chuck is our vegan truffle homage to unrequited love: house made fondant, organic peppermint, 70% dark chocolate, and freckles of nonpareils. Charlie Brown ignored Peppermint Patty’s crush, perhaps our video’s end could melt Chuck’s heart after all, and maybe yours too. Fun Facts: Charles Schulz coined Peppermint Patty’s name upon seeing a plate of York Peppermint Patties in his home. He thought the name was too good to pass up before any other artist thought of the same joke. Peppermint Patty made her debut in the Peanuts in 1966. This month marks the 70th Anniversary of the Peanuts. 17,897 stops published in 2,600 newspapers in 75 countries in 21 languages! Remarkable!

Finally, our Jazz Trios are back! Silky vanilla bean infused sea salted caramel, fresh roasted pecans, gooey house-made marshmallow, all layered in beautiful baby bundt domes of 70% dark chocolate. Start your weekend in perfect harmony...cheers!

Fresh Baked Apple Pie Macarons, this is how you kick off the glory of fall. Apples. Cinnamon and spice. Vanilla. Touch of honey. It’s all here, in the creamy chocolate ganache and fresh apple medley. Come and pick your apple macs. Enjoy the weekend everyone. Cheers! And happy new year...

PBCrunch Bar: peanut butter praline, organic gluten-free brown crispy rice, sea salt, and 70% dark chocolate. We made a ton of ‘em, let’s see how long they last! Happy weekend everyone...enjoy!

Chocolate Covered Frozen Banana, reimagined in our new macaron: organic banana caramel ganache with Madagascar milk chocolate (double fermented with banana) piped in the center of dark chocolate ganache on soft gluten free almond meringues sprinkled with sugar, for that ‘frosty crunch.’ Enjoy, and have a safe weekend everyone. Cheers!

Looking back, this is the truffle that started it all, Monkey’s Uncle. I took my moms much loved coconut cream filling and turned it into a truffle. I replaced the cream cheese and sugar with white chocolate, organic coconut milk, and butter. I kept the shredded coconut and vanilla bean, but wanted more kick, so I added coconut rum. A dip in dark chocolate and a shower of coconut and there it is, I haven’t changed the recipe since. Happy day...

Our Red Velvet Macarons. The picture says it all. Thick cream cheese butter cream with Madagascar vanilla bean swirled on gluten free almond meringue macarons made with a touch of silky Valrhona cocoa powder. Now you can start your weekend, enjoy everyone. Cheers!

Legend has it that chocolate truffles were created by accident. An apprentice to French chef Georges Escoffier attempted to make pastry cream, but poured hot cream into a bowl with chocolate chunks instead of the bowl with eggs and sugar. Out of anger, Escoffier hurled the term ganache (meaning ‘fool’) at the apprentice, then something beautiful happened. As the combo solidified, the master worked the pliable mass into small rounds, rolled them in cocoa powder, and created what looked like luxurious mushrooms that grew near roots of trees in certain regions of France and Italythe much sought after truffle. And the rest, as they say, is history. Just want to say that we’re so happy to be among all the ganaches out there turning hot cream and chocolate into magic!

I think I’ll go to Boston Cream Donut, our newest macarons are in the house. When you have 500 egg yolks, you make custard; when you have the creamiest white chocolate on the planet, you make a ganache with that custard; and when that custard has been infused with the most fragrant and precious Madagascar vanilla beans you’re fortunate enough to possess, you load up soft gluten free almond meringue cookies, drizzle decadent dark chocolate on top, and you thank your lucky stars you can sink your teeth into something so wonderful. Enjoy your weekend everyone. Cheers! Ferry Market Stockton Market

Our latest macarons, Baby Bagels, are cute and schmeared with lots of love: creamy, velvety, white chocolate (Valrhona) ganache with Philadelphia cream cheese and Madagascar vanilla bean. Come in for one. Come in for a dozen. Happy weekend! Ferry Market & Stockton Market

BREWnette, our latest silky dark rich caramel made with heavy cream that’s been cold-infused with organic fair trade Honduran dark roast Coffee beans!

Raspberry Rhapsody. Our new macaron is a symphony of flavor, pure and simple. This glorious ganache filling is made with @valrhonausa Raspberry Inspiration, all natural fruit chocolate, cream, and a swirl of salted butterdreamy, creamy, silky, and smooth. Happy 4th of July everyone. Please have a safe weekend, and enjoy some Raspberry Rhapsody. Cheers!

Our new Peanut Butter Cup macaron in motion: a ring of silky 70% Guanaja dark chocolate ganache with a center of creamy peanut butter praline!

Take a look at this...our Redbridge Beer Cordials! We lightly caramelize beer, cool and pipe into chocolate shells, roll in dark chocolate, coat with @valrhonausa cocoa powder, and gold-foil-wrap. They are one-bite wonders! The liquid burst, the very slight crystallized sugar sensation, and the exquisite chocolatewow! Paired with our special edition chocolate roasted nut clusters, these beer balls are the ultimate for Father’s Day, or any day actually. Available starting Saturday. And like everything we make, 100% gluten free. Cheers!

Tie one on! Our Father’s Day gift packaging is back! This year it’s all about beer and nuts. Our beer cordials are made with Anheuser-Busch "Redbridge" gluten free beer, a perfect pairing with our chocolate roasted nut clusters: almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, peanuts, and pistachios. Available in milk or 70% dark chocolate starting Saturday in-store or online flat rate insulated shipping. Now the backstory: I remember the day my dad taught me how to tie a tie like it was this ...morning. The scent of his Acqua di Selva aftershave still so freshly fragrant in my mind. I was confused as hell as to how to tie that damn thing, but I wanted to get it right and make him proud. After twelve years of catholic school, I got it! Fast forward to becoming a chocolatier and Loren trying to teach me how to tie a bow on a box of our truffles. I went into auto pilot and this necktie bow was the best I could do! And so, our Father’s Day gift packaging was born. See more

The creamy milk chocolate SCRAPPY Bars in all their glory are available online and in-store starting Saturday. For dads and peeps everywhere who never give up the good fight. S ~ Salted C ~ Cashews R ~ Roasted... A ~ Almonds P ~ Pistachios P ~ Peanuts Y ~ Yum! See more

At 2am on April 12, 2020, my father lost his balance and fell free-fall backwards down the stairs. I felt like Superman, he said, until he landed. In layman’s terms, he broke his neck. He crawled back up the stairs, put himself to bed, and called 911 in the morning. He’s the strongest man I know. Many say he’s scrappy. And so our Father’s Day SCRAPPY Chocolate Bar is for all the dads and peeps in our lives who never give up the good fight. My pops is doing well, three mor...e months in a neck brace and then I’m sure he’ll give it hell once again. S ~ Salted C ~ Cashews R ~ Roasted A ~ Almonds P ~ Pistachios P ~ Peanuts Y ~ Yum! SCRAPPY Chocolate Bars are available in dark and milk chocolate, online and in-store starting Saturday. Cheers!

When we closed our doors on March 15, 2020, we said, "We all come from the same mold my friends...we need each other more than ever if we’re going to keep on The same is true on June 6, 2020, when we reopen our doors to a new world where hopefully everyone will find it in their hearts to listen to each other and learn from our mistakes Ferry Market Stockton Market

To the graduates of 2020, our hats are off. Their new beginnings will be wrought with challenges beyond compare. May their milestones missed not become boulders that weigh them down, but skipping stones creating ripples of successes to come. While our truffle-filled Graduation Cap Boxes may not contain a path forward, they will go a long way to lift a grad’s spirits, bring smiles to their faces, and warm their hearts along the way. We're all in this together, and to that end,... Sciascia Confections will be donating to the non-profit "No Kid Hungry in each graduate's name in the hopes of making brighter days for all of our children. Each beautiful keepsake graduation cap with tassel comes with 9 assorted decadent chocolate truffles, all impeccably handmade, small batch, using locally sourced ingredients where possible, and fresh cream infusions always. Each truffle has a story to tell and so it's told on the menu card with photos included. Now shipping flat rate anywhere in the US. Full insulation and ice packs are included with no additional cost! Cheers to the Class of 2020. https://www.sciasciaconfections.com//artisanal-chocolate-t

Everything was black and white. Clouds in shades of grays running through each other in fast motion. Wind blowing all around me, some warm, some cool, like it couldn’t make up its mind. Trees in the distance, their leaves shimmering like diamonds. My heart was racing. I was cold. Scared. Looking out all I saw was dark water ready to swallow me up. I was a skinny little kid standing alone on the edge of the wooden dock, in a panic, and the world was frightening, as if everythi...ng around me had eyes and was staring at me. Floating on a giant raft next to the doc was my dad, brothers, sisters, all there, waiting for me. Then I heard a voice say, It’s okay Tommy don’t be afraid, I’m here, you’re going to be okay. It was my mom, and her arms were reaching up to me, outstretched, waiting for me to jump into her lap so she could catch me. Nothing is going to happen to you I promise, just jump, I’ll catch you. With everyone’s voices poking at me, my mom’s voice is the only one that I remember. My toes clenched tight on the lip of the dock, my legs shaking, my lips shivering, I looked into her eyes and I leapt into her arms like a frog leaves a rock. I landed in her lap and she folded me in her warmth as she wrapped me with a hug and said, See, I told you I would catch you Tommy, it’s okay. You’re going to be okay. The year was 1967, I was 4 years old. This was the first memory I have of being alive. And I felt safe, and warm, in my mom’s loving embrace. And that’s who she was, a protector, always making sure everyone else was taken care of. She never wanted anything. And through life's darkest hours she was a beacon of strength and hope. She lived and breathed every day of her life with humility, empathy, and respect. She was our role model, a warm loving soul who touched everyone she knew. This Mother’s Day is unlike any other we’ve experienced. If you’re lucky enough to have your mom by your side, then hug her tight! And if you can’t be with your mom, my wish is that you close your eyes and imagine how you’ll feel on the day you leap into her arms and she wraps you in her warm and loving embrace. Until then my friends, I hope that you will be okay...

Our new Deconstructed Chocolate Covered Frozen Banana Macarons are making our hearts skip a beat. Ready: I took frozen bananas, whipped them to a creamy paste, cooked them slowly with sugar to caramelize until boiling hot, poured over @valrhonausa Kidavoa 50% single origin Madagascar milk chocolate (double fermented with bananas), whisked in a touch of butter, then cooled this silky sexy banana caramel, piped it on top of dark chocolate ganache centered on soft macaron shel...ls sprinkled with sanding sugar (like a frosty crunch), took a bite, took a pic, and bam! Let this sink in, and if you want to sink your teeth in too, ordering has never been easier. Just click below for a 6 pack or the 12 pack and go from there! https://www.sciasciaconfections.com//6-pack-mothers-day-ma https://www.sciasciaconfections.com/products/macarons

The holy grail of caramel: it's Madagascar vanilla bean-infused, sea-salted, and finally in a jar. Zigzag over your favorite ice cream, dessert, or whatever your heart desires. Skip the maple syrup and drizzle over pancakes or waffles (it’s insanely delish!). Or when no one’s looking, go for the spoonful. It comes in a really cool jar, in a really cool box, for a really cool Mother’s Day gift too, or just for you. Order online, and we’ll ship it anywhere in the U.S. If you’re local, you can even pick it up Saturday if you order by midnight (Friday). Order online, link in profile. You’re welcome. @ Sciascia Confections

Through the face of life's darkest hours, my mom was the forever optimist. "You have to be strong, and you have to have hope." Her words ring true today now more than ever. She never wanted anything, but a simple strand of pearls did bring her joy! How fitting that they are a symbol of hope and new beginnings. And so we present our chocolate Hope Collection with hand-painted strands of cocoa butter pearls. Blue Heart: creamy organic coconut milk, shredded coconut, a splash ...of coconut rum, whole fresh-roasted almond centers, dark chocolate. Pink Heart: from the Island waters of Tahiti come exotic, rare, and precious black pearlsTahitian vanilla bean infused slow-cooked silky soft caramel cradled in dark chocolate. Yellow Heart: bright and buttery, sweet and saltyorganic lemon zest infused chocolate ganache with whole roasted and salted macadamia nut centers in dark chocolate. My mom loved tangy lemon desserts, buttery macadamia nuts, this was an aha moment when considering a sunny finale to our collection. Share this chocolate Hope Collection with someone you care about. And stay strong...

We all come from the same mould my friends. Whether we’ve been cast in dark, white, or something in between, we need each other more than ever if we’re going to keep on hopping. To that end, in good conscience and concern for our valued customers and team, we will temporarily close our New Hope, PA, and Stockton, NJ, retail locations effective Sunday, March 15, 2020. We will do our part in closing for a short while as Governor Tom Wolf of PA has requested. We will monitor the... situation closely and announce our reopening when responsibly safe to do so. In the meantime, WE WILL CONTINUE MAKING CHOCOLATES in our studio. We have always run our chocolate studio like a surgical room. Every day we follow best hygiene practices like we are performing surgery, right down to the ground. Literally, no one can enter the studio without surgical booties. We are clean freaks and proud of it. We will be opening our doors again very soon with full-on Easter and Passover chocolates, macarons, and all the good stuff you love. We’ll keep posting all the new things hopping down the bunny trail. Promise, it’ll be worth the wait! Remember, our website is always open. Reach out to us if you need something. Together we’ll get through this. Let these days be our finest. Be smart. Be safe. Be well. @ Sciascia Confections

Love cinnamon? Coconut? Philadelphia Cream Cheese? Vanilla bean? Then our O’Mac Irish Potato macarons were made for you. Philadelphia lays claim to originating the Irish Potato, a St. Patrick’s Day confection. Popping up this time of year in candy stores and supermarkets, this traditional confection takes all of those ingredients (plus powdered sugar) and shapes and rolls them in cinnamon to resemble tiny potatoes. We’ve baked cinnamon into our soft gluten free almond meringue cookie shells to add another layer of ‘oh man!’ So if you adore cinnamon and coconut as much as we do, you’re gonna love these macs! @ Ferry Market

We are nothing in this life if not for the generosity of others. As I reflect on the decade passed, there are stars in my universe whose light has changed my life and I need to share. I've nestled myself in the middle of these incredibly spectacular human beings for no other reason than this: they are the profoundly talented pillars on which my foundation as a chocolatier, and as a person, is built. From left to right, meet my lucky stars. Julian Rose taught me everything ab...out making ganache, that beautiful perfectly silky smooth emulsion of heavy cream and chocolate that brings tears of joy. Not a ganache goes by that Julian isn’t on my mind. Melissa Coppel has fundamentally, single-handedly, forever changed with the way I think and the way I work. A class act whose inspiration colors my world like no other. Christophe Michalak may not remember me, but I will never forget his artistry and brilliance, especially when it came to macarons. He assuaged my fear, so making thousands of macarons now is just like second nature. Being in his presence and watching a master at workpriceless. James Sciascia, my dad, my biggest fan, the bravest guy I know, taught me how to work really hard, like manual labor hard! But that was the precursor to 18-hour days, so now all work seems like play. Edith Sciascia, my mom, who is with me in spirit now, passed on to me her passion for pasty. Making eight desserts for every Sunday dinner for decades was pure bliss. Her artistry, work ethic, humility, and empathy were the ingredients that made her wonderful. Kriss Harvey, a gentleman, scholar (he wouldn’t say so), and a comedian with whom I became instant friends, is a chocolatier’s chocolatier whose generosity knows no limits. The knowledge he imparts I use every, single, day! Jerome Landrieu, another class act who works like a surgeon. His work is precise, pristine, and filled with passion. His energy, contagious; his methods, like clockwork, all what keep me ticking. Dennis Kuronen, my college professor, no longer with us, but his voice lives on: What’s your concept? That question is what drives me everywhere. Thank you stars. I am humbled and profoundly grateful.

As I look into the night sky, more than I care to admit, I’m blown away and brought to tears just about every, single, time. There are at least 250 billion stars in our Milky Way Galaxy which is traveling through the universe at 1.3 million mph and is just one of at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe. How can this not blow your mind. How can we be alive, right here, right now, at this very moment in time... Mesmerized by it all and overtaken with ...awe I am each and every single day of my life. I question. I wonder what it's all about, this crazy, beautiful, messy, inspiring, painful, delicious thing we call life. I’ve said that, and said this a thousand times before, how we need to question everything and live to seek the answers to the burning questions that keep us ticking, that keep us up at night, that make us get out of bed in the morning, that make us who we are, that make us love and laugh and cry. I have been incredibly fortunate to spend my days in our own little universe creating chocolate bonbons, truffles, bars, barks, macarons galore and more. It is an honor and a pleasure to share this all with you and to be on this journey with you as we barrel through the universe. With a hand-shake, hug, smile, tear, laugh, or a like, share, comment, or an OMG!, please know that I will forever be grateful for your unwavering support and love along the way. To the Sciascia team, for your tireless commitment to keeping our vision alivefrom studio to sales with smiles and samples for allyou are the stars that keep burning bright and I thank you dearly. To Loren, my partner in crime, I never know where I end and you beginthank you for being my supernova. So on this day my friends, as we spin around on this planet and hurl through space, my wish is that you take time to look at the night sky, question the big stuff, savor every morsel, and thank your lucky stars for being alive, at this very moment in time... Tom Sciascia About this Photo: It took five years for Bob Western (Copyright, 2018) to capture this shot of the Milky Way Galaxy over the Bixby Creek Bridge in Big Sur, California. Simply amazing!
