Cocoavino’s signature Red Wine Chocolate is a velvety blend of Belgian dark chocolate and a complex red wine reduction. "The rich chocolate flavor finishes with a bloom of wine, offering the best of both in one bite!"

This special treat can be spread on pastries like a croissant, crisp Fall apples, or sweet pastries and cookies. Cocoavino’s Red Wine Chocolate also makes a delicious hot chocolate sauce. Just heat the jar in the microwave and pour over your cheesecake, strawberries and ice cream! Or dig in with a spoon!

That’s right, we use home grown green tomatoes. The result is a tangier tasting salsa! Not too hot and not too mild. We hear over and over again from customers, “It’s Just Right!” Gluten Free.

Kansas Favor: Harvest decorations come in many forms as a favor or token. This Kansas Favor is one of the simplest and uses four to six straws tied at the base of the wheat heads. As the plaiting builds it creates a long, pliable length of round or zigzag textured straws. When finished the ends are tied back onto itself, forming a lovely looped shape. A red and black checked ribbon decorates the favor or Marian will work with the customer for ribbon variations.
Size - The size varies due to the natural properties of wheat. The piece is sewn into place on a 3¼” w x 7½”h cardstock for packaging.

Country Favor: Harvest decorations come in many forms as a favor or token. This harvest token is called the Country Favor and is made with four to six straws tied at the base of the wheat heads. The straw is plaited using one of several techniques. Before tying the plait back to the heads, it is given a full circle twist which creates a smaller loop within the larger one. A green and white checked ribbon decorates the favor or Marian will work with the customer for ribbon variations.
Size - The size varies due to the natural properties of wheat. The piece is sewn into place on a 3 ¾” w x 7½”h cardstock for packaging.

Kansas Heart Favor: Perhaps the favorite harvest designs is the Kansas Heart Favor.
