We are devoted fans of Las Vegas-based chocolatier, pastry chef, and educator Melissa Coppel. Originally from Colombia, Melissa is best known for her inventive flavors and flawless execution.

We first tasted these Dragées during a blind tasting for our 2024 Advent Calendar, and were amazed by the pecan-pie flavor Melissa packs into each morsel. A core of buttery sea-salt caramel is enveloped in rich, feuilletine-crisped pecan-almond praliné, then generously coated in our fruity 70% Kokoa Kamili, Tanzania chocolate. Each petite round is like a slice of holiday pie in one delectable bite.

These Dragées are a taste of pecan pie in every bite. The center consists of a cube of my chewy sea-salt caramel. For the next layer, I grind pecans and almonds to make a luscious praliné, adding crisp feuilletine as a nod to a pie's flaky crust. Then I coat each Dragée in 70% Kokoa Kamili, Tanzania chocolate, known for its fruity, acidic notes — a perfect match for rich caramel and pecans.
