An unexpected blend of high cacao (47%) Peruvian milk chocolate with quinoa and toasted sesame will transform perceptions of the classic chocolate crisp. We use quinoa puffed under low heat, glaze it in blue agave to seal the texture, and add in toasted sesame seeds, creating a milk chocolate experience that leans more savory than sweet. The cacao origin is Rupa-Rupa, Upper Amazon region of Peru. The beans are fermented 7 days, dried 7 days with a medium roast.

What a crunch bars aspire to be. Salt, fat and sweet all in one crunchy sensation. Have one bite and try not to eat the whole bar.

In addition to paying farmers fairly, jcoco donates 10% of net profits to providing additional support to cacao farmers.
