Please welcome Dandelion Chocolate to the market by coming out and filling those hollow, chocolate voids in your life with Dandelion, a new local “bean-to-bar” chocolate factory. They roast, crack, sort, winnow, grind, conche, and temper small batches of beans and then mold and package each bar by hand. Each bar is made of high quality beans and crafted in tiny batches to bring out the individual flavor and nuances of each bean.
One more reason to come out this Thursday!
