Chocolate bars made with love!

Our hand-wrapped bars come in a range of flavours from classic 45% milk, to fun lime-infused dark, to popular dark + sea salt, to spicy dark with chilies. You're sure to find a few favs.

Bars can be kept in a cool place to keep from melting but don't require refrigeration. They have a long shelf life of up to a year (as if they'd last that long without getting eaten!).

We think these chocolate covered goodies are the best ever!

Tempered chocolate is poured on layer by layer, tumbled and stirred until each morsel is fully coated in chocolatey goodness. Finished with a dusting of cocoa powder gives them the rustic look characteristic of this hand tumbled technique- no waxy coatings or shellac here!
