CRUNCHY PUFFS IN EVERY BITE

Puffed amaranth has a light, crispy bite and a nutty flavor. We fold these puffs into our vanilla bean-infused dark chocolate, crafting a crunchy bar with a nostalgic feel. We make this bar with organic, Smithsonian Bird-Friendly certified cacao from Zorzal Cacao in the Dominican Republic. Zorzal is the first cocoa grower to receive this official Bird Friendly™ certification. At this 1,019-acre bird reserve in the heart of the Dominican Republic, cacao is grown through agroforestry, planted alongside native trees that are home to crucial bird and wildlife species, such as the Bicknell's Thrush. Over 70% of the Zorzal reserve is designated as “forever wild", meaning the forest is preserved and not used for agriculture. Cacao meets conservation!

Carter H. ★★★★★

The puffed amaranth gives it this fantastic popcorn-like crunch that doesn't quit, and the dark chocolate is rich without being too bitter. I found myself breaking off square after square just to hear that snap again.

Stella ★★★★★

The vanilla bean flavor comes through deep and real, not sugary, and those little amaranth puffs give it a satisfying popcorn-like crunch that makes it dangerously easy to finish the whole bar in one sitting.

Nicholas ★★★★★

The crunch from those puffed amaranth seeds is such a satisfying contrast to the smooth dark chocolate, and the vanilla bean taste feels warm and familiar. I found myself reaching for another square long after I planned to stop.
