To us, it’s more than creating just another delicious treat - it’s about creating a healthy alternative to a common snack that many people enjoy, and providing it in a reasonable serving size.
It’s about the vitamins, nutrients, and molecules that you get from natural ingredients that help you to feel happy and healthy.
It’s about avoiding from filling our stomachs with sugar, toxic chemicals, and unnecessary additives.

Dark chocolate is an incredible mild stimulant thanks to theobromine and small amounts of caffeine. Theobromine, appropiately named after the greek words for “gods” and “food”, is a mild stimulant similar to caffeine, but also helps to improve blood flow, energy levels, and mood.
