We describe a new production mechanism of particle dark matter, which hinges on a first-order cosmological phase transition.  We then show that this mechanism can be slightly modified in one way to also give a new baryogenesis mechanism, and in another way to produce primordial black holes.  Finally, we demonstrate that if an evaporating primordial black hole is observed, it will provide a unique window onto Beyond the Standard Model physics.
