    River-Sea Chocolates: Local Vendor Provides Delicious Cocoa Escape

    July 5, 2018 / 9 Comments

    Would Time Cupsoul buy River-Sea Chocolates again? Absolutely. It could be meeting the local makers at The Chocolate House (support local vendors!), the packaging with origin photos that connect the patrons to the global story/producers, the sustainability message, or just the fact that the chocolate is decadent. It's probably a combination of all of the above. There's a special rawness to this small bean-to-bar brand that you simply don't want to miss.

    Patric Chocolate: Browned-Butter Bar Happiness

    March 17, 2018 / No Comments

    It’s St. Patrick’s Day today, and the name of this brand is Patric Chocolate, not “St. Patric(k)’s” Chocolate, but let’s go with it; this is some magical Leprechaun-worthy cocoa. Patric Chocolate is special. It’s “American Handcrafted Chocolate,” est. 2006 by Alan “Patric” McClure out of Columbia Missouri, USA. According to the interior of the chocolate bar packaging, Alan spent a year in France in his mid-twenties learning about chocolate.

    K’UL Chocolate from Minnesota is a Winner

    October 19, 2017 / No Comments
