From Elaine Hsieh
Co-founder of the award-winning EHChocolatier, recognized by Food & Wine, The New York Times, and Boston Magazine.
MADE SMALL. MADE HERE. MADE BECAUSE WE WANTED TO EAT IT.
Temper is Elaine Hsieh’s latest chocolate project—a smaller, more local, more easygoing way of making the sweets she wants to make.
Each drop is a changing lineup of chocolates, caramels, cookies, nostalgic candy, and occasional returning favorites.
No big operation. No storefront. Just thoughtfully made sweets, released a batch at a time.
