Valentine's Day Special

2010-01-27T06:00:00.000-08:00

Austin Truffle Co. has three special product offerings for Valentine's day - 8 piece Cake Balls, 24 piece assorted truffles, and what we call the "Mother-in-law Special". The first two offers are self-explanatory. You may find yourself asking, what is the Mother-in-law special. Well I am glad you asked! The Mother-in-Law Special is a box of 32 assorted truffles, plus a box of four assorted truffles. The Mother-in-law Special gives you the opportunity to knock out to birds with one stone... I mean show your love to your significant other and his/her beautiful mom. Or, you could always give the box of 32 and keep the box of four for yourself. You probably deserve it.

You can order these products online and pick them up at our location. Or, we can ship them to you for a small fee. If you have ever visited our location before you know that we have a cozy retail space. And, by "cozy" I mean small and not ideal for retail :-). However, it is a perfect for making delicious truffles for you to purchase online and pick up at our cozy location.

Austin Truffle Co.'s location could also be classified as a "hidden gem". Convenient from 620, I35, and HWY 79 in Round Rock, TX our location is tucked away on Chisholm Trail. Think of it as a treasure hunt! We will be waiting with treasure in hand - in this case, X does not mark the spot. Happy Valentine's Day!

Brad is currently working on a pies, cakes, and cake balls menu for the Holidays, and we would love to hear your feed back! Is there something you would like to see us create for the holiday season?

We have a lot of exciting ideas and new directions for the upcoming season as well as for 2010 and we would love your input on what you think makes Payton Artisan Chocolates great!!

For those of you who have tried our chocolates- you know that we are not your run of the mill bakery and we love that our products are unique and designed for their aesthetics as well as their delicious taste!

Smores Truffles

2009-09-03T15:39:00.001-07:00

Flavor of the Month

Meet our smores truffle. A deep rich dark chocolate ganache blended with a silky smooth marshmallow cream. Topped with graham cracker crumbs. This is not your normal campfire smores. Smores is one of our most popular flavors. Grab a box and you'll see why.

Homemade Marshmallows

2009-07-17T07:26:00.000-07:00

New Item of the Month

If you have not tried Homemade Marshmallows I highly recommend that you give them a try. Homemade marshmallows have a different texture than their store bought brothers. They don't leave that dry film in your mouth with a squishy stale texture. Homemade marshmallows are soft and luxurious with a natural feel leaving you wanting more. We made them even better by dipping them in a high quality dark chocolate and adding popular toppings. These come in bags of 6 marshmallows.

Payton Artisan Chocolates' Grand Opening Success

Thanks for everyone that attended our Grand Opening on Jan 31, 2009. We had excellent turn out, with over 80 of our friends, family, and new friends attending. Believe it or not, we forgot to take pictures!!! But imagine around 20 people at a time, smiling, enjoying an endless supply of 10 different chocolate truffles and chocolate covered strawberries. Needless to say it was an excellent evening. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to have another event like this soon.

If you are in the North Austin, Pflugerville, Round Rock area and would like to sample our amazing truffles, then come by from 12:00pm-6:00pm. We look forward to meeting you.
