An Important Update on Cocoa Prices
January 16th, 2025 A letter from our CEO, Nate Hodge:  Let’s talk about the bad news first: Due to increased cocoa costs, we’ll be raising prices on our website by an average of 14% on January 23rd.

S'more Hand Pies!
Two of our favorite sweet snacks in one. These chocolatey, salty and flaky tarts bring that campfire feeling to your table, no tent or fire needed.

Hand-swirled icing and a garnish of sweet, soft marshmallows makes these a real spotlight-taking cro...
Homemade Peanut & Date Candy Bars
Our homemade (and healthier) rendition of the candy classic, made with our single origin Maple Dark Baking Chocolate and packed with almonds, peanut butter, oats, and dates, and layered with a dark chocolate shell.
