slowcocoa handcrafts mindful chocolate, curated to help us feel.
find your nibbles
'Tis the season.
Introducing a mindful take on the classic Chanukah treat. Our bestselling 49% dark+oatmilk chocolate – four ingredients only, refined sugar-free, rich & creamy, almost like a “bittersweet”, but not at all bitter and far from too sweet – slowly hand-poured into individual gelt coins, then lovingly coated in 24-karat edible gold leaf.
Rest assured: this gold is real. Like all material luxuries, it passes through the human system with no lasting impact whatsoever, imparting only the initial dazzle and thrill of its own consumption.
The chocolate, however, may linger. We crafted it as an invitation to pause, amidst a holiday and time of year so richly immersed in the insatiable lure of consumerism.
We hope these golden-coated chocolate coins may remind us of a universal currency we each carry: the sweetness of a single moment, unfolding like chocolate, melting and melding from breath to breath.
Slow nibbles suggested, up to 8 seconds per bite.
Organic single-origin Haitian cacao, organic coconut sugar, organic cacao butter, organic gluten-free oats. Optional: 24-karat edible gold leaf.
Made in a fully vegan, gluten-free facility powered by 100% renewable wind energy.

More for the rest of us 😋
If you navigate to the Wikipedia entry for almond bark, at the time of this writing, the provided definition is - in our professional opinion - bizarre. The editors state:
Almond bark (also known as vanilla flavored candy coating) is a chocolate-like confection made with vegetable fats instead of cocoa butter and with coloring and flavors added.
And that is, to make matters further candy-coated, only the first sentence.
Suffice it to say, we do not make "almond bark" in the Wikipedia tradition. So we've renamed it.
Our "almond bark/meow", like all our base recipes, features slowcocoa’s maximum allowable four ingredients only, plus the decadent drizzle of Himalayan pink salt.
That's it.
Wow, we can hear the barking already. (Meow to that!)

Through thick and thick, warm and cold, frigid to frantic, restless to listless, hopeful to cup-full. . . tea is there for us.
Now chocolate is here, too, with tea.
More specifically, the chocolate is the tea.
Made from a house-blend of freshly & delicately-roasted husks from our single-origin Haitian and Guatemalan cacao beans, chocolate tea is unlike any other beverage in our teabag-box basket. (Don't know about you, but we love a basket brimming with teaboxes.)
It shares a consistency with other herbal teas, so is not to be confused with the more familiar beverage of eternal youth and holiday cheer that goes by the deceptively similar descriptor, "hot chocolate".
Chocolate tea is hot, all right; it is hot and it is chocolate. But hot chocolate it is not.
It's light and airy, naturally sweet and rustic, with a deep, chocolatey aroma that lifts our spirit any time of day. Its sips and smells are calming, even as they remind us that energy is sometimes a choice as much as a daily inheritance from the sun, snow, clouds, snacks and sips that surround us.
We like to sip slowly, yes; and also breathe in deeply – there is something healing in these husks.
Lovingly packaged in fully compostable resealable pouches. Each bag prepares 16-20 servings, pending the strength of your brew. Tea is low-caffeine and high-theobromine: a combination often reported by fans to bring a calm, focus-boosting effect ripe for gratitude.
Single-origin, organic Dominican cacao husks.
Roasted in-house using 100% wind energy.
