With the leftover white chocolate from its October First Nibs batch, Raaka Chocolate created Candied Yam White Chocolate, a vegan white chocolate treat inspired by a popular Thanksgiving side so sweet and indulgent it's practically dessert.
To create this online-exclusive small-batch bar, the brand infused its signature vegan white chocolate with sweet potato powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This festive chocolate bar made with silky, spicy ingredients is reminiscent of Curried Yam Swirl by Raaka Chocolate, which works with similar ingredients, and a slightly different flavor profile.
Like all of Raaka's chocolate, this one is dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and certified organic and kosher. Uniquely, the brand works with unroasted cacao beans so that the naturally fruity flavor of cacao shines through.
