Hello there! Daylight Savings day is the perfect day to unveil the newest #chocolateupliftxvioletsky collaboration chocolate bar: Endless Summer! ••• Made from lemon, peach, pitaya (dragon fruit), and lavender flowers on pure white chocolate (cocoa butter, cane sugar, whole milk powder), this bar extends summer flavor as it's like drinking a gentle peach lemonade in a flower field, and it extends physical chocolate bar beauty with its unique medallion and abstract expressionist design reminiscent of a field of stars. ••• This bar came about because I grew obsessed with lemonade while visiting lovely lively Lisbon this spring (#LisbonSpring2018) and started pairing it with chocolate, just as I put chocolate on my breakfast fruit like summer peaches. I've also been obsessed for several years now with the idea of not being cold most of the year. You see, I love sweet home Chicago, but winters have started to hurt more and more, and I dream of endless summer! Anyway, I talked about all of this with dear Hans of #violetskychocolate, an inclusion and edible flower genius as well as an imaginative chocolate-making genius as we know, in the context of new flavor ideas, and he brilliantly suggested adding lavender and pitaya to the lemon peach concept. We thought his amazing white chocolate would add to the sweet feel of summer, yet it's not too sweet; it leans a touch toward the savory. Hans then surprised and delighted me by creating this incredible design of sun, moon, and stars, with comet tails or the Milky Way trailing along the bar. Isn't it beautiful! And it's summery and delicious, perfectly uplifting on a dark fall/winter day! 🌞💜 ••• I'm bringing a bar to @nwchocolate this coming week and weekend; come taste and say hi at my mentoring speed round at the UnConference on Friday, or at my talk on Delicious Ethics at the festival on Saturday. Oh and the annual semi-impromptu Chocolate Uplift dinner during the festival looks like it will be Saturday too. Open to the trade and the public! ••• Thank you Hans for creating chocolate that inspires and unites! Happy Violet Sky weekend! 🌌 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpw3NtRhAEL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jxm3r0imhcgi
