They also have some baked goods and trinkets as well as cute jars for the bark. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. They offered samples of the bark as well as the process for making it. They also packaged everything up in cute jars and a bag with a stamp that has the shop's name. I was able to try the toffee bark and the peanut butter bark. All I can say is WOWWW. The bark was so savory and sweet. Rich and decadent. Just wonderful. I also had my family partake and they loved it as well. All in all, I was so impressed and fell in love with this place.
