Another mainstay, this perennial favorite is based on the traditional German honeycake or cookie. It consists mainly of honey, five different spices and unbleached flour. Lebkuchen was developed in Germany in the 14th century to be a naturally-preserved food for traveling monks. To the small heart shapes that Hermine makes for her version, she then adds a delicious covering of dark chocolate that enhances the honey and spice taste, and tops it off with an almond which has been hand roasted by in her kitchen. Also you can special order many larger sizes of lebkuchen hearts, as well as simple rectangles, covered in either chocolate or with a plain lemon glaze, and nicely decorated with almonds. Hermine’s lebkuchen products are certified by the National Honey Board and they proudly display their mark.

This is a very generous helping of marzipan, covered in dark chocolate. Our marzipan is soft and flavorful, never hard and dried out as is often the case with lesser product containing fillers and an excess of inexpensive sugar. It has a high content of finely ground nutmeat, and is just sweet enough to be satisfying without tasting syrupy. The almond and chocolate flavor is delicious with the complimentary taste of coffee, as are all our marzipan products.

A mainstay of Hermine’s product line for many years, this bar has a twist molding on the top for visual interest. The hazelnuts used to make it are roasted and finely ground in Hermine’s kitchen, and add a distinctive and delicious nutty flavor to the dark chocolate coating. Many customers find that this classic taste is their favorite of all the types of chocolate we produce. Our Hazelnut Bars make wonderful gifts and will liven up any social gathering.
