Fizzy beverages were top-of-mind when Raaka Chocolate created the exclusive Cherry Chocolate Cola and Raspberry Lime Rickey chocolates for its First Nibs Two-Bar Subscription. While one creatively inspired bar treats chocolate lovers to an experience of 62% cacao with the familiar flavors of a rich, dark carbonated soft drink, the other gleans from a mixture of fresh lime juice and soda water sometimes savored with optional add-ins like alcohol or sugar.
For February, Raaka Chocolate's First Nibs Three-Bar Subscription pairs these two innovative monthly micro-batch bars with a romantic Rose Cardamom flavor, another decadent treat that showcases the unique qualities of unroasted dark chocolate—which is naturally fruity—and traceable, high-quality, organic, transparently traded single-origin cacao.
