Good News from the Team Over at the Elk Candy Company

by Leave a Comment

One of the things that I truly enjoy in life is the taste of the Elk Candy Company’s marzipan. Not only is the taste rich and full of that delicious almond flavor, but the texture of the marzipan is soft yet strong. Quite honestly, their marzipan is made just right. I’ve been eating their marzipan since I was a little kid living in Manhattan and now as one of their online customers.

And with that in mind, here is an update from the folks over at the Elk Candy Company regarding their availability to help you with your marzipan needs for this holiday season:

Woohooo!

We are busy making our marzipan.

The holidays are fast approaching, don’t forget to get your orders in. Thanksgiving is 3 weeks away!

Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for updates.

I don’t know about you all, but I’ll be getting myself some marzipan from the Elk Candy Company in the next few weeks. Not only does their marzipan make a great gift, but it’s the type of gift that you can treat yourself to and not really feel that guilty about it. I can’t wait!

The Elk Candy Company Now Has Chocolate Covered Marizipan

For those of you that were wondering when the Elk Candy Company was going to begin producing their famous acorn-style pieces of marzipan, wait no more! I received an e-mail the other day that reported the following:

We can finally live up to our slogan “Fine Continental Chocolate and Marzipan”. By a lucky twist of fate we are able to start adding chocolate MUCH sooner than expected (maybe this is what they mean by holiday miracles?).

We’ve added marzipan acorns, marzipan dominoes and marzipan chocolate logs. Look for more to be added in the weeks ahead.

Folks, as someone who has had these marzipan acorns I can tell you that they are absolutely delicious! So, if you’re looking for fine treats to either give as Christmas presents or bring to a Christmas gathering, then head over to the Elk Candy Company’s website and place your order!

Yes! The Elk Candy Company Has Opened Their Online Doors!

When I was a little kid and my family lived in Manhattan, every once in a while we would go to the Elk Candy Company on the Upper East Side (where we lived) to get the best marzipan on the planet. My Mom would take us there throughout the year and we’d get all different types of marzipan and Christmas goodies when the holidays came around. Later, when I was in college, I made a few visits to the candy store to pick up some marzipan gifts for my family.

Welcome to the online world!

Unfortunately, due to the financial downturn, the Elk Candy Company closed their doors a few years ago. However, after an outcry from long-time customers (myself included), the Elk Candy Company has decided to open up an online shop – which is now open and ready for business! Take a look at the e-mail below, which I received about a week and a half ago:

Many people have been looking forward to this day and now, we take great pride in announcing Elk Candy Company is now open and ready for your marzipan orders at www.elkcandy.com. We are proud to be able to share our world class marzipan with you.

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and PayPal on our secure website.

We offer a variety of shipping methods through FedEx and UPS. To celebrate our online opening we are offering free ground shipping on orders of 1 pound or more now thru December 31, 2009.

Those of you who were familiar with the store will remember our complimentary gift wrapping, we will continue to offer free gift wrapping to our online customers. We ask that if you would like your purchase gift wrapped please state so in the special instructions portion during the checkout process,.

Hey everyone – I have excellent, excellent news! One of Manhattan’s finest candy stores, which closed at some point last year, is now becoming an all-online business! The Elk Candy Company (one of the premiere makers of marzipan and other fine sweets) sent out the following e-mail a few days ago:

For those who haven’t seen our blog entry here is some good news. We are looking to open (online for now) in time for Thanksgiving. We’ll be preparing and gathering what we need over the summer.

It will be just Marzipan in the beginning and hopefully expanding the selection in early 2010 to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth.

My Mom used to take my older brother and I to this candy shop when we were little kids living in Manhattan. We’d get marzipan and she’d get chocolate covered marzipan (I think they were called acorns). Absolutely delicious – better than any other marzipan that you’ll find anywhere. This was also the place to get your Advent calendars.

Treats from the Elk Candy Company compliment the perfect holiday gift. I encourage you to go online, bookmark their page, and check back frequently to see what the Elk Candy Company has to offer!
