📣Product Highlight: Black Cat Sesame Bar🐈‍⬛

One of our favorite new releases this month! A special bar made with our signature dark chocolate, rice krispie cereal, black sesame paste, and black and white sesame seeds. It makes the perfect combo for our sesame lovers, and even our cat lovers since we hand decorate the bar to have the cute face of a cat!
($14.99 each)

We sampled this at a private event where it got the best reactions, and it’s been an influencer favorite on Instagram too! Give it a try and let us know what you think! Don’t forget to get it in the month of October, while supplies last😋

What we've learned in the past 10 years of small business and 15+ years in entrepreneurship is we're happy to share to help others!

Thank you to the Hawai‘i Small Business Fair at Leeward Community College for providing free opportunities to entrepreneurs and educators! It was sweet to be back with a very engaged class (thank you all), where we could live out our mission of "Bringing peace to our world, one chocolate (lesson) at a time”🕊

Our October calendar is filled with Chocolate Tastings in corporate boardrooms, professional development training paired with chocolates, entrepreneur events and private networking in The Chocolate House, and mentoring sessions with another small business over chocolates (and cookies)! Events pair well with chocolates, so if you want to do something with us in 2025, please let us know!

September is over, but the celebrations we had for our 10 years will be one for the books! Our team was so grateful to see and spend time with many chocolate friends from over the years, and we are also so grateful to our neighbors and partners in the community for contributing to make it big!

Mahalo to Little Plum/Uncle Paul's Corner Store, Allison Izu, Morning Glass Coffee + Cafe, Andy's Sandwiches & Smoothies, Hawai‘i Doggie Bakery, and Feast for contributing gift cards (total value of over $400), which allowed us to host our raffles all month long! A huge mahalo to our partners and crew party sponsors too—thank you Enjoy, Edward Enterprises, Dana Labels, Gourmet Foods Hawaii, Hamakua, Integrated Packaging, and Savor Brands!

We wrapped up third quarter as our chocolate crew celebrated our 10th birthday in a big way, buying out our neighbors, Feast, and filling the night with great food, drinks, chocolates, dancing, and sweet company!

From our family to yours, we want to say thank you so much again for your support and well wishes! We can’t wait for the next 10 years together on this chocolate adventure!🤎

📣Product Highlight: Iced Chocolate Tea🫖

After its return to our menu, our Iced Chocolate Tea has been a big hit! Known as one of our lighter and healthier options, this tea is made from brewing the roasted husk of direct trade 100% Grade A cacao beans. It makes for a slightly bitter but refreshing taste that has a hint of cocoa notes—truly something unique! Perfect if you love plain cold brew and teas!🍵
($3.99 each)

Simple syrup is also available, and sweetening it makes the cocoa flavor really come out!

Let us know if you’ve tried it! Should we keep it on our menu?🤔
