The ONLY chocolate I use for baking! Rich flavor with just enough sweetness.
Cacao from Semuliki Forest, Uganda, lends notes to caramelized sugar, figs, and browned fruits.

About Us- AAnonymousVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5/20/26Delicious!
I really enjoyed this baking chocolate. It is perfect for making chocolate chip cookies or just eating plain. The amount of sweet is just right!
- AAMRated 5 out of 5 stars5/11/26Delicious
So good in baked goods or just as a snack!
- AAnonymousVerified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars1/19/26Quality bulk product
The flavor is rich and bright, but the pieces themselves are fragile and were mostly crushed in the bag.
- JRJennifer R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1/8/26The Best Non-refined Sugar Baking Chocolate!
Having a kiddo with multiple allergens, this Maple Sugar Baking Chocolate is the only one we’ve found that we can bake with! Breaking it up in “chip” size pieces, we add it to a cookie recipe to make a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie. Thank you Raaka, for helping to meet my kiddo’s cookie cravings.

I added the Maple Dark Baking Chocolates to my AIP cookie recipe and they turned out yummy! I even love snacking on them by themselves.

FAQs
What does unroasted mean?
Cacao beans are the seeds of the cacao fruit, harvested and prepared by producers at origin. Every bean has a flavor profile shaped by the soil and climate it grows in, as well as the care each producer takes in cultivating and processing it. This fruity flavor is often roasted away in favor of that classic “chocolatey” note. We love this fruit-forward flavor, and we make our chocolate without roasting so you can enjoy it too.
Is this chocolate vegan?
You bet. All of our bars are 100% vegan. Some dark chocolates still contain milk powder, but ours do not. Instead, we make vegan "milk style" and white chocolate bars with oats and coconut.
What does this chocolate taste like?
Every recipe we make is inspired by the unique flavors of the bean we’re working with. If you’re curious about a specific flavor, check out the flavor page and the reviews! If you still need help, feel free to email us.
How do you ship chocolate when it's hot out?
Don't fret, we check the weather before mailing every order. If it's going to be hotter than 75ºF anywhere en route, we use insulation and ice packs to ensure you receive your chocolate in perfect condition!
Do you test your chocolate for heavy metals?
We regularly test our products to ensure they meet Prop 65 and EU standards for heavy metal content. You can find our latest test results on our FAQ page.
