Valentine’s Day Vendors Include:
Earthly Kneads of Muskegon
This Saturday, we will be at the shop and also at the Sweetwater Market. I’ve been busy whipping up some special items for Valentine’s Day. The smell of chocolate is in the air! We have homemade chocolate peanut butter bars (like peanut butter cups, but with dark chocolate and Naturally Nutty’s peanut butter) and our infamous chocolate cheesecakes (super creamy, crustless, and gluten free!) on the menu, plus other goodies, too. By Saturday, I hope to have some fudge covered chocolate baby cakes that are filled with honey goat cheese and some yummy Food for Thought preserves. Double Chocolate Espresso Bread is making an appearance this weekend, too. There will be cookies, cookies, and more cookies, too! The cheesecakes are in limited supply, so please call us at 231-728-6383 to reserve yours. You may order other items in advance over the phone, too.
