Global marvels of #mapchocolate: dear Mackenzie's crunchy creative Tybee bar is "all over the map" in the best way, containing Vietnam cacao, organic cocoa butter, and organic cane sugar for the chocolate, plus organic peanuts, organic coconut, organic rice, dried chile, dried lime, and candied ginger, all soy-free of course! Memories and miracles also emerge from this lively and cheerful chocolate bar, with flowing undercurrents of depth, all balanced in deliciousness! 🌏 New: her #sidekickchocolate single origin chocolate syrup, made from cacao, organic cane sugar, and sea salt, for drinking hot or cold, pouring over desserts, or enjoying in myriad ways - many of which I intend to explore! - is inspired by tasting cacao and sugar straight from the melangeur during the chocolate-making process, one of life's great joys! #nwchocolatefestival #seattlenovember2017 (at The Northwest Chocolate Festival)

Reveal: marvelous #mapchocolate's Still Life With Pi chocolate bar is the 4th bar in my craft chocolate subscription box going out this month! Heirloom candied orange peel and vanilla seeds on Belize 65% add up to a perfectly proportioned mathematical renaissance of deliciousness, just in time for Pi Day 3.14! There's still time to order a box, and as always, for every box sold, I donate a meal to formerly trafficked cacao kids at the #creerafrica rescue center. Here's to life! #chocolatesubscriptionbox #chocolatefreedomproject

Law of chocolate: I brought scrumptious #chocolatasm chocolates for the #nawlwomeninlaw wine and chocolate reception, where I was thrilled to be the attorney-turned-chocolate-muse; to present Chocolatasm's crowd-favorite smoked pear truffle in Peru milk chocolate with custom craft couverture from #mapchocolate, and deeply luscious cranberry cabernet truffle in dark craft couverture; to speak a bit about the joys of fine fair-trade chocolate and my #chocolatefreedomproject to end child slave labor on the cacao farms that supply big chocolate brands; to do a drawing for one of my craft chocolate subscription boxes (I was ecstatic that the winner was ecstatic!); and to connect with other practicing and formerly-practicing women lawyers at this fun and inspiring event and conference! Law of chocolate: keep eating real chocolate! #sweetspeaker #chocolatesubscriptionbox #chocolatefreedomproject #upliftthroughchocolate (at Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile)

So I'm a bit overwhelmed by this amazing Map Chocolate bar. Scent of cranberries, this 72% Vietnam Tien Giang with sugared lemon and vegan gf pink shortbread is full of intense fruity notes balanced with bits of sweet and tart. I don't think I've ever tasted anything quite like it. I believe chocolate making is an art as much as a science and the creativity in this bar is a great example of that. I love inclusion bars with texture because it creates such a unique tasting experience. And done well, the inclusion brings out the wonderful notes of the cacao. Well done Mackenzie! This bar is in its own category. Didn't mention it but the packaging is personal and well thought out. Reminds me of my childhood when I would go vintage shopping with my Mom. . . . #mapfan #mapchocolate #beantobar #smallbatch #chocolate #cacao #darkchocolate #feedyourdreams #instachocolate #craft #handmade #shoplocal #smallbiz #womeninchocolate
