Time to celebraaaate!! TWO extra-special bars have been named 2026 Good Food Award winners!!!!!
🏅70% Barrel-Aged Dark Chocolate Bar
🏅The Zeke Bar | 65% Dark Chocolate + Tart Cherry Bar

The Good Food Awards are elite— for food makers, it’s our Oscars— representing the very best in quality, flavor, sustainability and social responsibility. To be recognized nearly ten times is a tremendous honor that we wear with pride— pride in our ingredients, in our flavors and in our company culture.

Even better news? These bars were limited edition and sold out quickly BUT our chocolate makers made magic and we have an *extremely limited amount* available to order from us exclusively!

Act fast— these won’t last long → askinosie.com/collections/award-winning-chocolate

Father’s Day is almost here—and we’ve got gifts for every dad-kind.

🍫 For the snack-at-the-TV dad: handcrafted Chocolate Covered Malt Balls.
🍫 For the grill-master dad: crunchy Roasted Cocoa Nibs for ice cream, coffee, or a surprisingly good BBQ rub.
🍫 For the “don’t-get-me-anything” dad: an AC long-sleeve tee paired with our Year of Chocolate Collection (which he’ll absolutely share, probably).

Every chocolate bar and snack is thoughtfully crafted by real people, with real cocoa beans—made to be enjoyed slowly… just maybe not shared equally.

Order by Monday, 6/15 for arrival before Father’s Day! → askinosie.com/collections/fathers-day-gifts

How do we send chocolate across the United States all summer long without melting? Our Shipping Team knows A LOT about handling the heat. We carefully review temperatures during transit for every order, and include an ice pack that helps keep the entire shipment cool for up to 48 hours. Plus, our chocolate is packaged in recyclable kraft paper packaging and an earth-friendly, biodegradable insulated box insert. You could say after nearly two decades, we know a thing or two 😉

Don’t forget, we offer FREE shipping on all orders $55+!

Make an Askinosie Iced Mocha with us! It may not *officially* be Summer, but this drink says otherwise!

🧊 Melt 2 TBS (or roughly 30 grams!) of our versatile Sipping Chocolate morsels with 1 TBS of water, just enough to get things nice & melty.
🧊 Whisk your slurry into a shot or two of espresso. You can also use cold-brew concentrate if you find yourself without an at-home espresso machine.
🧊 Pour the entire mixture over ice & enjoy— because life is too short for mediocre mochas!!

ICYMI: it's been a big month so far around here, and we wanted to be sure you hadn't missed some exciting updates from our factory!

🌎 In celebration of 19 years of Direct Trade, we released a brand new bar (& our very first triple blend!), Midnight Crunch 68% Dark Chocolate. With three cocoa bean varieties, it honors the flavor, craftsmanship, and relationships that have defined us since the beginning.

🌟 Finally back in stock: the latest batch of our handcrafted buttery White Chocolate Bars just dropped!

🎓 Looking for a thoughtful grad gift? Shawn and Lawren's book, Meaningful Work, has been reissued in paperback form! Part how-to-find-your-calling and part small-business-primer, it pairs quite well with a chocolate bar (or two) if we do say so ourselves.

🌟 Our fan-favorite Four Bar Pack is back, complete with a curated selection of our most-loved 85g signature Dark Chocolate Bars! All gluten-free, dairy-free & certified Kosher.

We're shipping orders $55+ FREE all summer long! If you're concerned about your order melting in transit—don't sweat it—we've got you covered.
