Collaborative Artisan Chocolate

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Alma and West Elm Chocolates Boast an Ethereal Package Design

— January 5, 2016 — Lifestyle
Designed by Mandy Braatz, the packaging designs for the Alma and West Elm chocolates collaboration perfectly complement the delicate mix of flavors with whimsical designs. The Alma and West Elm boxes of chocolate come in two flavors; peppermint chocolate slab and matzo toffee crunch. Each variety contains premium ingredients that combine flavor and texture to create a one-of-a-kind sensorial experience.

Although debuted around Christmas, the Alma and West Elm has the potential to stick around given that they could pass as merely holiday-inspired. Handcrafted in Portland, Oregon, the chocolates make an incredible token gift, while it would also make a great desk accessory to brighten up slow afternoons. Made with organic chocolate and perfectly packaged, this unique chocolate collaboration is worth tasting.
