Excellent!
The bar is so good and doesn’t seem like it’s 85%. All of the chocolate I bought from you was delicious!

This is not overly sweet and smooth tasting. We love it.

The friendly fine print
The good-to-knows, before it heads your way.
Every order ships cold, with ice packs.
Melted, damaged or lost? We’ll make it right: send us a photo and your order number, and we’ll replace it or refund it.
Our distributor lab-tested the cacao beans we use, and they came back extremely low in heavy metals.
None. This bar is dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan friendly.
We ship on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with USPS, so your chocolate never sits in a warehouse over the weekend. Most places get it in 2 days, a few take 3.
Easy. Put their address in as the shipping address at checkout and it goes straight to them, cold.
