Q&A

What is Bean-to-Bar? Bean-To-Bar chocolate making is a process of obtaining raw cacao beans and turning them into chocolate bars (or other chocolate edibles). My chocolate is white on top. That is called “blooming”. We produce chocolate in Florida which has two environmental factors that chocolate does not like: heat and humidity. When chocolate has an extreme temperature change, such as melt

ing or heating quickly, and then cooled, the fat of the cacao rises to the top. This does not change the flavor of the chocolate, just the way it looks. Where do you sell your chocolate? We currently sell in our retail storefront at our Production Studio in Tarpon Springs. Our location is at 11 North Pinellas Avenue, across from St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral downtown. We will be distributing soon. Do you take custom orders? We love creating personalized candy wraps for your special event, such as weddings, corporate functions, birthdays, etc.

It's officially official!

I’m so happy and excited to announce that I’ve been called to a different direction in 2025. I am closing Ratza Chocolate. This is not because we weren’t doing well. With my son going into high school next year, it is time for me to take a break and be more present with him. I’m so okay with it! 🙌🏾 Those that know and follow me know I’ve been talking about this day for awhile. We’ve been in our brick-and-mortar just shy of 5 years!!!! I started this business when he was 6. 😭

We are officially handing our beloved space off to our dear friend Hayley with The Baking Soldier . She is an amazing woman who has a vision I can support. I’m excited to see what magic she can create and I hope you follow her as well.

So, this is not a sad ending for me, just a new chapter! This year is will be focusing on helping my friend start his school . I will also be working more on my role as an educator through my podcast and my art . I’m also planning to write my next book and doing more traveling and education on the medicine of cacao. Possibly a future cacao farm travel group?

So that’s it! Please follow my journey and stay in touch. I hope to see you at my favorite upcoming herbal conferences. 💗

Feeling a sense of gratitude on this Thanksgiving Day. So grateful for all of the love and support we have received over the last almost 10 years since my chocolate making journey began.

Next week I will be sharing some exciting news. Please be in the lookout.

May your 🦃 day be full of love and friendship.

My heart hearts for our neighbors and friends affected from Helene, both locally and all the way to Virginia. My home and business stayed dry 🙏🏼 but my little business and family is still feeling the financial strain of the hurricane. If you feel called and able, now is a GREAT time to order online from us if you’re out of state or shop at Moonberry if you’re local. We also have a link to gift cards which can be used online. We will also be at the Autumn Market at the Fenway Hotel in Dunedin this Friday from 6-8pm with lots of treats. Thank you for your support.
