Ink + Riddle | Order Drop-Off

G. E. Gallas

Today, we dropped off an order at Ink + Riddle in Clarksburg, Maryland! Ink + Riddle (inkandriddle.com) is a really unique and exciting store that carries everything creative — art supplies, stationery, board games, books, puzzles, and beyond. They offer many great activities including story time for kids, 3D printing classes, and creative workshops. Located in the Clarksburg Premium Outlets, Ink + Riddle will be moving to a new space in the same location in February. They’ve been carrying our literary-inspired chocolate bars for a while now, and we love visiting their vibrant and intellectually stimulating store!

If you live in or near Clarksburg, Maryland, we hope you’ll go check out this fantastic small business.

 

Open Book Chocolates Bar and Book Pairings

G. E. Gallas

Since the inception of Open Book Chocolates, we’ve always loved the idea of pairing our literary-inspired chocolate bars with their corresponding books; i.e. our Alice in Wonderland bar with Lewis Carroll’s masterpiece, our Treasure Island with Robert Louis Stevenson’s, our Frankenstein with Mary Shelley’s, and so on.

These pairings make a perfect gift for the favorite bibliophile(s) in your life. Plus, they’re easy to wrap in elegant paper or tie together with ribbon (with or without paper). A wonderful gift for any special occasion!

Here are a selection of our literary-inspired chocolate bars with beautiful volumes from our own bookshelves:

Our Pride and Prejudice chocolate bar with Jane Austen’s novel.

Our Jane Eyre bar with Charlotte Brontë’s novel.

Our The Great Gatsby bar with F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel.

Our The Picture of Dorian Gray bar with Oscar Wilde’s novel.

Our The Count of Monte Cristo bar with Alexandre Dumas’s novel.
