Our Story

Seven Twelve Chocolate originates with a health-conscious wife (Glenda) wanting and needing a healthy chocolate and an inventive husband (Brant) who figured out how to make it. 

In 2021, Brant started self-educating on how to craft bean-to-bar chocolate. Lots of info online on how to craft chocolate with cane sugar, but nothing on how to do that with honey.  He didn’t know it at the time, but most would say chocolate couldn’t be made with honey.  Not knowing that, he experimented until he achieved a high-quality dark chocolate made only with 3 ingredients: cacao beans, cocoa butter and honey.

So simple. So delicious. 

The passion for Brant lies in the art of working with cacao beans from different origins and crafting chocolate that is a unique flavour experience.  The unique flavours of each origin are inherent in the beans due to a variety of factors including growing conditions, cultivars and the fermentation process.
Brant roasts the beans to draw out these flavours - unlike mass produced chocolate that processes that uniqueness out. It is called “craft chocolate” for reason! It takes careful, hands-on attention to roast, grind and refine the cacao to arrive at a product with great flavour and smooth texture.

Most are already aware of the health benefits of dark chocolate.
We have taken it one step further to also make it even healthier!
The use of honey as a sweetener not only does that but it also creates a softer texture chocolate than dark chocolate made with the typical way. We invite you to taste and see!

Currently we produce 70% dark chocolate using cacao from 3 different origins: Ecuador, Peru and Tanzania.
Each offer its own unique flavour experience.
We also produce a Peanut Bark that has become very popular while keeping the ingredients simple: our dark chocolate with dry-roasted, organic peanuts. Only 4 ingredients.

Seven Twelve Chocolate started selling at select Saskatoon and area markets and stores in 2023.

It is a new business ……with experienced business owners.

Brant and Glenda owned/operated a successful manufacturing business for 25 years. Brant has extensive experience with product design, equipment procurement and product production.  Glenda’s experience is in administration/accounting.

Seven Twelve Chocolate is a new adventure backed with a lot of business skills that transfer over from our life before Chocolate. Henna and Evan (our adult children) have been part of this adventure/journey. We as a FAMILY are PASSIONATE about our chocolate. It continues to be a huge part of our health journey which has included eliminating gluten, dairy and refined sugar. Our products will never have any of these ingredients.
We think that there are others on the same journey and we are excited to encourage and support them!

As we build our business, we are always delighted to share our passion for healthy chocolate with new people.
