This is not your average chocolate bar, it’s one part strategy and one part magic.

We collaborated with the one and only Seth Godin to make a limited edition 67% Dark Chocolate Bar featuring cocoa beans from each of our three origins; Tanzania, Ecuador and the Philippines. It’s our first ever blend of three origins. With a whisper of Maldon sea salt, this seemingly simple bar bursts with complex flavors of three different but complementary cocoa varietals.

Preorder now, The Seth Bar ships in late October→ askinosie.com/products/the-seth-bar-67-blend-dark-chocolate-bar

✨ A fan favorite returns ✨ Dark Chocolate + Peanut Butter is BACK!

This rich & roasty bar is made with Direct Trade cocoa beans from Mababu, Tanzania and real, natural (palm oil-free & soy-free!) crunchy peanut butter from our friends at Big Spoon Roasters.

Go ahead, you know where to find it→ askinosie.com/products/peanut-butter-dark-chocolate-bar

Infusing your morning coffee ritual with a little handcrafted cocoa is easy:
1. First, make a slurry with a 1/2 tablespoon of our Natural Non-Alkalized Cocoa Powder, hot water & your sweetener of choice.
2. Next, whisk or stir in your cocoa slurry with espresso or cold brew concentrate, if you find yourself without an espresso machine.
3. And lastly, pour the entire concoction over ice. If you’re so inclined, now would be the perfect time to break out your cocktail shaker and add milk to top it all off.
