Creamy chestnut balances with nutty tones and bright sweetness ending in a wood smoke aroma in this seasonal white chocolate. An embodiment of winter comfort. The deep smokey aroma of an open fire and creamy chestnut is elevated by the subtle sweetness of our white chocolate.⁠
⁠
Pressed in house using cacao from the ene river valley Peru, this white chocolate represents one of the few bean to bar white chocolates made in the UK. Its subtle flavor allowing for the delicate flavor of wood smoke and sweet chestnuts to shine.⁠

Another great holiday treat from @somachocolatemaker⁠
⁠
Soma adds gingerbread spices to their English toffee enrobed in milk chocolate and it's totally addictive. The roasted buttery notes of toffee are paired with the warming spices of gingerbread. Comforting, familiar and way too easy to eat.⁠

When butter is warmed gently over low heat it bubbles and browns to a rich, toasty, nutty substance known as Beurre Noisette. The process takes butter down a dark path, a path well traveled by rum and chocolate. This deeply complex (in flavour and history) trio, go together like old friends having a good time, mingling effortlessly. ⁠
⁠
The chocolate in this bar is named "Vanua" made from cacao grown on the Mataswalevu farm in Fiji. The rum is "Dark Waters" a single barrel release by Kinsip, the small and mighty distillery in Prince Edward County. ⁠
⁠
⁠
⁠
Tasting notes: cashews, butterscotch, honey, oak, fudge. ⁠

Two new seasonal bars, and a new look for Milk & Cookies. ⁠
⁠
Spiced White & Caramel takes white chocolate and silky Icelandic milk mixed with orange zest, cinnamon and a salty caramel crunch. ⁠
⁠
Milk & Cookies, a fan favorite, milk chocolate topped with buttery almond and oat cookies spiced with orange, cinnamon, ginger, and sea salt. ⁠
⁠
Dark Nibs & Raspberries joins Omnoms Madagascar 66% sprinkled with nibs and raspberries for a fruity tangy chocolate bar with crunch.
Its getting cold outside, that means the holidays are approaching! A holiday bar from Pump Street, 70% dark chocolate spiced with ginger of course, but also cardamom, cinnamon and warmed with molasses and brown sugar.⁠

Inspired by the mountains and local flavors surrounding us, we have added ground pine nuts to our dark chocolate blend to create a soft, smooth and deliciously nutty bar. Pine nuts are the seeds of Pinyon Pine trees which are native to Utah and grow in the pinyon-juniper woodlands in the picturesque rocky slopes and mesas of the Great Basin. Pine nuts are a true taste of our high, west locale.⁠

Slow roasted hazelnuts meet roasted cacao in an all-out battle for the senses. Add cream into the mix and you have a sweet and nutty flavour bomb. Don’t be shy with how to indulge, add espresso to make the classic Italian “Bicerin”, pour it on pancakes or your favourite dessert or eat it straight up. Approved by squirrels everywhere.⁠

"This bar focuses on the bioregionality of Peru, utilizing lucuma and salt from the sacred valley. Tasting notes of toasted almonds, banana and caramelized sweet potato with a satisfying crunch that pairs excellently with your morning latte or baked into chocolate chip cookies.⁠
⁠
Why lucuma? What a super cool fruit. Lucuma is known as "Gold of The Incas." It is a mango-like tree fruit that resembles the flavors of caramelized sweet potato fresh out of grandma's oven. It's got some interesting flan essences going on-- makes sense why it is coloqually known as "egg-fruit.""⁠

Ginger Snap cookies reimagined as dark chocolate. To achieve the perfect ginger flavor, Raaka steams Tanzanian cacao over a house made Peruvian ginger tea, and steeps more ginger in cocoa butter along with allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Blended with cane and maple sugar, sprinkled with brown sugar- these bars have the perfectly sweet cookie-like bite. ⁠
