This set highlights a trio of cocoa-derived ingredients for baking:

  • Chef’s Ground Chocolate
    70% Camino Verde, Ecuador
    2020 Harvest, Batch 2
    (500 g)
    In this coarsely ground chocolate, we taste notes of fudge brownies, cream cheese, and cinnamon sugar. Our pastry kitchen prefers this form of chocolate for fast and easy melting; it's ideal for hot chocolate, cakes, pies, and creams that call for melted chocolate.

  • Large Chips
    70% Tumaco, Colombia,
    2022 Harvest, Batch 1
    (500 g)
    In this harvest, we taste unique notes of chocolate malt, almond praline, and cream. Each bag contains enough chips to make two batches of Dandelion Chocolate’s own Chocolate Chip Cookies, with a handful left over for nibbling.

  • Cocoa Nibs
    Kokoa Kamili, Tanzania
    2021 Harvest
    (350 g)
    These cocoa nibs feature tasting notes of tropical fruit and roasted nuts. We recommend using nibs like nuts — in cookies, salads, breads, confections — anywhere you want to add a bit of crunch.

Pair all three ingredients with Making Chocolate: from Bean to Bar to S’more: our 366-page hardcover book that includes everything we've learned about making chocolate since the day we first cracked open a cocoa bean. It’s a complete guide to making chocolate from scratch, and provides recipes for use with our single-origin cocoa nibs and two-ingredient chocolate — including our European Drinking Chocolate, Maybe The Very Best Chocolate Chip Cookie, and Red Velvet Beet Cake — to get you started. We encourage you to dive deep into your pantry to bake up your own chocolate adventure.

Ingredients & Allergens
All of our single-origin chocolate is made with just cocoa beans and organic cane sugar; no added cocoa butter, lecithin, or vanilla. Our chocolate is free of soy, dairy, eggs, and gluten, and it is made in a factory that does not process nuts.
Cocoa nibs are purely roasted, crushed cocoa beans. They are produced in an allergen-free facility.
