Welcome to November's box! Before we get into revealing the bars, a quick announcement. More like a sneak peak :) Here goes: we have just released a leaderboard of the best guessers in the Mystery Chocolate Box community. Now, you not only get Cacao Points and a pat on the back for guessing correctly, but you also get fame and glory on our leaderboard. Let's just call it "internet cool points".

We made 11 different types of hot chocolate one evening… and here’s what we found
It was a cold and rainy night. One of those days where all you want do do is curl up with a mug full of "liquid cuddles". Or, you might know it by a different name: hot chocolate. We thought, what would be better to do than make hot chocolate out of a bunch of different chocolate bars that we have on hand? (One of the awesome perks of being in the chocolate business is that we always have a lot of chocolate bars laying around.) So, we ...
October 2015
Hey guys! Ready to see what was in this month's box? Let's go ahead and get right into it! Bar A I knew what this bar was when I first tried it and it was still surprising to me! In my head, I thought it was going to be a dry and have a "harsh", bitter dark chocolate flavor from the way it mixes with the ingredient that's inside it. To be completely honest, I wasn't really looking forward to tasting it... And then I tried it. My ...

Ready to see what was in August's Mystery Chocolate Box? Let's take a look!

June 2015
Before we get to the bars... did you enjoy our special chocolate haiku in the letter? Thought we'd try something fun :) But, no fancy introduction to this month's box. Only some delicious chocolate... Bar A To me, Bar A is the equivalent of going to a nice restaurant at the beach, right on the coast, where the fish your order was swimming that morning a couple miles out. As in, super fresh, with all of the healthy nutrients preserved ...
