Blue Sue

Wednesday, February 18, 2009

As I’ve often said, I’d gladly eat cheese over chocolate any day of the week…but chocolate is still pretty awesome.  I’m excited to say that now I can eat both - at the same time.  Betty’s Tasty Buttons is now making fudge infused with bleu cheese from Birchrun Hills Farm.  The fudge is named Blue Sue after Sue Miller of Birchrun Hills.

Admittedly, I am not the biggest fan of fudge there ever was (it’s a texture thing), but I was fascinated by the subtle bleu cheese flavor of the fudge and how great a combination it is! 

I love that our local purveyors are collaborating - what’s next?  I hear Vosges (not local at all) is now making a dark chocolate bar with reishi mushrooms and walnuts.  Could our local chocolatiers be moving in that direction - maybe new partnerships with great local mushroomers?  Perhaps a B.T. Brownie loaded with local chili peppers?
