New York, NY, September 10, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Black and Blanco, Inc. makers of Sandcastles, Unique Rye Cookies Baked in NYC, announces the recent addition to their growing cookie line, Deep Chocolate Infrared, a dark chocolate version of the intriguingly original sandie shortbread biscuit the company has been selling since 2011. Made with extra dark cocoa and a hint of paprika spice, “We wanted something bold and dark like a fine chocolate bar,” said vice president and co-owner Heidi Karlsen. “This cookie is for the serious chocolate devotee.”

The new Deep Chocolate Infrared compliments Black and Blancoʼs series of unique rye cookies, including their Vanilla Black Sesame and signature cookie, which is striking & elegant, mildly sweet, with a slight sea salt finish and a delicate toasted crunch, their Marzipan, a fragrant, addictive, crispy & cultured almond cookie, and Maple Dusted Cardamom, in which East meets North America - Luxurious & exotic, dark syrupy notes with smashed pumpkin seeds. President and co-owner Steve Blanco said “Sandcastles are our original take on an old Moroccan cookie recipe, brought over by my mom from her native Casablanca. All of our stellar sandies are made with organic whole grain rye and organic virgin coconut oil.”

Deep Chocolate Infrared comes to the marketplace with the launch of Black and Blanco’s new packaging, a sophisticated little 6 sided box that will hold 8 SandcastlesTM. All four varieties will be available in this new box, each with its own Moroccan inspired color band. “We had the pleasure of working with Brent Leland of Leland Creative in Salem, MA to get just the right balance of ultra modern sleekness and old world sensibilities while protecting our special little creations,” said Steve Blanco.

Jazz piano player, Steve Blanco and actor Heidi Karlsen founded the company in January of 2011 when they came together during low points in their lives. They use only the highest quality ingredients, mostly organic, and nothing artificial. Sandcastles contain no GMO’s, refined sugars, wheat, dairy, eggs, cholesterol, trans fat, or preservatives. Black and Blanco Sandcastles come in 4.4 oz packages, with a suggested retail price of $5.75 - $6.50.

All of Black and Blancoʼs cookies are vegan, have a low gluten content, and baked in small batches, in New York City, U.S.A.
