Holiday tables are often filled with an assortment of cookies—like soft, sweet Linzer cookie sandwiches dusted with powdered sugar and filled with jam, or chewy snickerdoodles with a cinnamon-sugar coating—and these seasonal delights inspired the newest limited-batch cookie-themed chocolates from Raaka.
Available through the brand's First Nibs Subscription, these monthly micro-batch chocolate bars spotlight the unique flavor profile of unroasted dark chocolate, transparently traded single-origin cacao and gluten-free, vegan ingredients. The certified organic chocolates offer a different take on seasonal indulgences, all while offering similar cacao content. While the Snickerdoodle variety builds on a base of 62% cacao, the Raspberry Linzer Cookie flavor bumps up the cacao percentage to 66%.
In the First Nibs Three Bar Subscription, two small-batch bars are paired with a classic Raaka creation.
