Welcome to April: Hop this way



The Ancho Bar has become quite the rave with it’s savory-spicy-sweet flavor profile and we’ve been scrambling to produce enough to satisfy the needs of our local shops as more and more want a piece of the pie--or bar in this case!


We've also been tinkering with a chocolate caramel and think we've hit on a very nice combination using Taza's 80% stone ground chocolate. Reminds us of gooey brownie corners. Yummmmm…


Did anyone say s'mores? Hand over the blow torch.
