Charlene Dupray’s Summary

South 'n France hand-dipped chocolate bon bons marry sweet Southern ingredients with classic French techniques. The result? Six delectable bon bon flavors, all entirely handmade: Peanut Buttah, Coconut, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Fudge Brownie, Cookies 'n Creme, and Pistachio. Winner of Best New Chocolate Product at the 114th Philadelphia National Candy Show!

When creating South ‘n France, Charlene Dupray and Pascal Siegler wanted to celebrate the things they love best about their respective cultures. They set out to marry the relaxed charms and gracious living of the South with the style and flair of provincial France. They would join together simple, traditional Southern pleasures with the spirit of French joie de vivre.

They knew the marriage of these concepts would work beautifully, because as a husband and wife team, Pascal and Charlene have spent years working on blending their two unique cultures into a harmonious whole.

    Inspired by a traditional family recipe, these exquisite South 'n France handmade bon bons embody the spirit of the company philosophy: a blending of ingredients from both The South and France rolled into a simple, yet luxurious pleasure meant to be savored. Hand chopped, hand rolled, and hand dipped, our decadent morsels come in six flavors and are the perfect, pleasure-filled treat.
