The best Tanzania bar of 2022. Hidden in the enchanted city of Charleston, South Carolina. Keep your eye on this maker. He’s bringing something bold to the bean-to-bar stage, and it’s not chocolate.

Just cacao & dates. No sugar. A collection of hand-crafted chocolate bars sweetened only with dates.

1)The Better-Than-Milk-Chocolate surprises with crème brulée kiss; a creamy embrace of dates, chocolate & wisps of vanilla in a no-dairy (& no coconut milk!) bar.

2) Creamy coconut milk makes a jubilant entrance in the Golden Chocolate bar, for a sunny, 37% white-chocolate version of a date-sweetened bar.

3) The hearty 2-ingredient 70% Deep Dark bar is rich & robust, unapologetically dates & cocoa.

A wild pineapple & poppy seed ride at Yellow Bird

A wild pineapple & poppy seed ride at Yellow Bird bean-to-bar maker in Albion, Michigan. (No chocolate bar photo, only the label remains as evidence; bar consumed during the 8 hour drive back to Baltimore).
An unexpected bean-to-bar combination surpassed only by the beer-flavored chocolate bar made from beer-infused Ghanian cacao nibs, 70% dark "UnNecessarily Imperial" bar. (A collaboration with Albion Malleable Brewing Co. )
Other sweet surprises inside the small-batch craft chocolate-making shop:

-The "Billet-doux" dark bar lives up to its name as a chocolate love letter with dried apricot, crunchy hazelnuts & wisps of elderflower in a 70% Ecuadorian base.
-The "Behmoth" bar, a hefty 4.7 ounce tablet of dark chocolate exterior & creamy sweetened peanut butter interior.
-Spicy Mayan truffle packed with cacao, chili flakes, cinnamon and a sprinkling of cornmeal
-Tile Tasting Set complete with a roasted cacao bean, tiles of different 70% origins, a niblet of 100% , and squares of milk and white chocolate

Ground pine nuts & dark chocolate. A creamy 4-ingredient bar (cacao, pine nuts, sugar & cocoa butter) that speaks of nut butter with a hint of pine. A fitting bar to honor a local Utah nonprofit that fights to preserve land & rivers: Summit Land Conservancy, @wesaveland .

🌲 Pinyon Pine trees, native to Utah, provide the buttery nuts used by Ritual Chocolate.

Trinidad beans do strike again!🇹🇹Four ingredient dark-milk bar made from Trinidad cacao, Camino Verde cocoa butter, cane sugar & whole milk powder.(Is it a dark bar? Is it a milk bar? It's actually both!)

Seattle's newest bean-to-bar maker @spinnakerchocolate insists on roasting in nib form only (which are cacao beans w/ shell removed, crushed into smaller, more uniform pieces) instead of roasting the bean whole. This is but one of Spinnaker's many obsessions with quality, a passion for perfection that is evident in each bite.

P.S. Want to experience the passion for perfection in a dark bar? Try the 70% Uganda with nibs, a big-hearted bar that promises chocolate contentment.

For every bar sold 1% is donated to ocean cleanup. 🌊

A peanut-butter brownie, in bar form. Or, if you're from Ohio, a buckeye in dark-chocolate-of-your-dreams bar form. 70% dark chocolate made from wild cacao beans. A meandering tributary of peanut butter in a robust river of chocolate. Ripple of maple syrup & a sprinkle of sea salt complete the adventure.🥜

From bean-to-bar River Sea in Chantilly, VA.
