This place is magical. Each creation is exquisite: visually a tiny piece of modern art and the attention to detail follows through to each & every bite. I was looking for something new and special to give to loved ones this past Valentine's Day, saw EJ’s mentioned somewhere, and thought this might be just the ticket. I expected something exceptional and my expectations were exceeded! I gifted a couple of sets of bonbons to a few of my most discerning friends (who are notoriously difficult to shop for) and they were massive hits! My best friend owns a fine art & antique auction house - he has exquisite taste, enjoys the finer things in life, and is not easily impressed. The box of assorted bonbons was a tremendous success!! He said he would have felt guilty consuming these tiny works of art if they weren't also each so extraordinary to taste! I bought myself a jar of your caramels and they are absolute perfection. I’m shocked at how special these are. I love savoring each one, taking tiny bites at a time out of an already small treat, and eating each caramel is a special treat- finding the single grains of salt that are perfectly blended throughout the caramel. Who knew eating something as simple as a single wrapped caramel could be such a divine and special treat? They are mind-bendingly joyful! My only regrets are that I didn't buy myself a package of bonbons to try for myself and an additional 3 jars of caramels because I know that these little beauties have to be a part of my life now! To those who are creating these stunning and delicious treats, I am incredibly grateful to you; you are not only putting out extraordinary treats, but you are also creating exceptional edible art that undoubtedly brings joy to everyone lucky enough to enjoy your creations! You have a customer for life. With...
Read moreAfter easily walking into EJ Bonbons and Confections, ordering, and then eating some of the best chocolate I’ve ever had, I wondered how I could walk in the store so easily? I have been to “lesser” chocolatiers with long lines at the counter, but with the quality of EJ Bonbons and Confections there should be lines around the block.
I'm sorry - i never do this - but if you are coming here looking for massed produced overly sweet chocolate bars, kisses, squares, and small wrapped sugary chocolate there is a CVS down the street. Please.
As advertised every single bonbon is an individual piece of art. Also as advertised owners Pierre (who I met) and Emily most certainly use the highest quality ingredients because these are simply the most delicious, delicate, identifiably balanced flavored chocolates ever. There is something for everyone - Regular, Dairy-Free, Nut-Free, Gluten-Free and Alcohol-Free.
Ok I will keep this simple, each and every bonbon tasted - not kind’a - but exactly like the described flavor. Peanut Butter and Jelly tasted like, yup peanut butter and Jelly. Same with the Black Forest, Caramel Apple, Vanilla Bean, and Cranberry Orange. Now you can try to eat the bonbon in more than one bite, it is possible because I saw it, but for me I’m all in. Now this is important – EJ Bonbons are subtle and perfectly balanced so no one flavor drowns the other. No big sugar rush or overly sweet “candy” taste that masks the real flavors. Just Perfection Confections. The same holds true for the chocolate covered nuts and for some this may be a shock. The first bite will remind you all flavors are important, and like the bonbons the chocolate cover nuts are smooth and addicting.
Looking for amazing look no further that EJ Bonbons and Confections in...
Read moreb.overly_delicious @ejchocolates Woodstock, NY: In honor of Valentine’s Day, we had the Ulster Eateries Unfiltered meetup at an indulgently rich chocolatier. EJ’s BonBons, is a husband and wife team with Michelin star pedigree. Owners Emily and Pierre, had previously worked at Per Se (3 Michelin ⭐️), in Manhattan, under Chef Thomas Keller. Per Se offers their prix-fixe chef tasting menu starting at $390 per person but good luck getting a reservation. Presented to you at the end of your meal is a golden box filled with the wildest most beautiful bon bons. Emily and Pierre are bringing their expertise and culinary training to us here in Emily’s hometown of Woodstock. Knowing that she is producing 3 Michelin star quality chocolates for $3 per work of art (which is what these are) is crazy. I’m totally hooked. Not sure whitch is my favorite. Bananna speckulious or passionfruit! The salted carmel was a literal flavor journey and be sure to get the best up of hot chocolate around. #woodstock #bonbons #ejsbonbons #chocolate #hveats #eater #perse #michelinstar #hvfoodies #igfoods #bonbon #ulster #hudsonvalley #ulstereateriesunfiltered #chocolates 📸...
