Ranger Chocolate Co. - Root Beer Bonbon

Classic root beer, creamy buttercream, and Ranger's bean-to-bar milk chocolate come together in Ranger Chocolate Co. Root Beer Bonbon. The filling is made with root beer from Public Coast Brewing Co. in Cannon Beach, Oregon, giving the confection a distinctly Pacific Northwest connection and the familiar aromatic character of the classic soda. Wrapped in smooth milk chocolate, the result balances creamy sweetness, cocoa richness, and nostalgic root beer flavor in a polished handcrafted bonbon.

Sensory Description:

A smooth milk chocolate shell gives way to a rich buttercream center infused with the distinctive flavor of root beer. Creamy cocoa and dairy notes frame the confection's sweet, aromatic soda character, creating a combination reminiscent of a chocolate-accented root beer float. The buttercream brings a soft, melting texture, while the chocolate shell provides enough cocoa depth to balance the sweeter filling. The finish is creamy and lingering, with root beer spice and milk chocolate remaining at the forefront.

Producer’s Background:

Ranger Chocolate Co. was founded in Portland, Oregon, in 2013 by George Domurot and David Beanland with a focus on premium bean-to-bar chocolate made with responsibly sourced ingredients. Ranger produces its chocolate from scratch, overseeing the process from roasting carefully sourced cacao beans through crafting and finishing the chocolate. The company emphasizes organic ingredients and cacao obtained through ethical, transparent channels meeting Fair Trade standards or better. Founder and Head Chocolate Maker George Domurot has also developed Ranger's confectionery range beyond traditional chocolate bars, frequently drawing on ingredients and collaborations connected to the Pacific Northwest. The Root Beer Bonbon reflects that approach through its use of root beer made by Oregon's Public Coast Brewing Co.

Serving Suggestions:

Enjoy at cool room temperature, allowing the buttercream to soften enough to reveal its full root beer aroma and creamy texture. If refrigerated, allow the bonbons to temper briefly before serving. Enjoy on their own as an after-dinner confection, or pair with coffee, espresso, vanilla ice cream, or a cold glass of root beer for a playful extension of the bonbon's nostalgic flavor profile.
