Throwing it back to August 2022, when we first dipped our toes into making chocolate barks. 🍫

At the time, we simply wanted to offer something new for the holidays alongside our chocolate bars. We thought chocolate barks would look good in a gift set. So chocolate barks it is!

We started with what we had within arm’s reach at home: Some marshmallow “charms” found in the Lucky Charms cereal, p**o seko, banana chips, macadamia nuts, pumpkin seeds, lady fingers, locally sourced fruits that we dehydrated, and even the crispy sugary edges of the turon wrapper. Anything we thought was interesting! We tempered some chocolate on a flat surface and scattered each topping by hand, like a giant mendiant. We intentionally kept the toppings separate at first, to make sure each ingredient is judged on its own merits when paired with our chocolate. Nothing too serious at first but soon, we found ourselves testing different combinations and trying out more toppings. 😋Some combinations worked instantly, some absolutely did not! 🤣

A few more testing and lots of tasting later, we had created 5 bark variants in September. Naming them became a whole adventure on its own, lots of overthinking, brainstorming and laughing 😅 We finally launched them during our pop-up booth on October 22, 2022 and people loved them (yay!!).

Not long after, we realized we did not want our barks to exist only during special occasions. We wanted them to become part of people’s everyday moments, during the in-betweens.

Our five chocolate bark flavors became🎵 Christmas in our Barks 🎶 & our Nibs ‘N’ Creme, our only white chocolate variants,
Mac & P’s, Tibuok sa Dilim, and Cocoa Crunch

Curious which one matches your kind of moment? 🍫
