  • Irvine-based Xan Confections, the maker of fine quality chocolates, is expanding its offerings into nine Bristol Farms locations throughout Southern California, as well as Zehnder's, a specialty shop in Michigan.

    The move is part of Xan's nationwide growth strategy: The company's all-natural products are now available in nearly 40 stores throughout California, Arizona, Hawaii, Michigan and Nevada.

    The Bristol Farms shops will carry the company's artisan chocolates and caramels. Xan’s unique flavors include fig and walnut caramel, eucalyptus honey, fleur de sel, pomegranate and champagne. Among the other selections: the Big Mouth line, which includes old-fashioned favorites like s’mores, turtles, toffees and Xan’s unique twist, chocolate-covered crisped-rice treats.

    In addition to the traditional varieties of truffles and chocolates, Xan also has a category of Lifestyle Chocolates, which include Saintly Sins, 29-calorie chocolates that are low-glycemic, diabetic-friendly, vegan and gluten-free. Another line of alternative sweets is the Jewel collection. The caramels are nondairy, gluten-free and vegan.
