Our Passion

We've been passionate about chocolate for a very, very long tome. It all started in Germany, where our founder, Christian Becker, was born and raised. He came to the US as an exchange student and immediately missed good chocolate. Over the decades, that deprivation and a continued interest in great chocolate culminated in the purchase of some small scale bean-to-bar chocolate making equipment around 2019 and Christian began experimenting with recipes and chocolate making. Over the coming three years, he shared his chocolate experiments with friends, family and co-workers. At first, that involved handing out hand-tempered and hand-molded bars in plastic bags ("Trust me this is better than it looks!") and just about all of them became fans. Hardcore fans. ("When can I get my hands on some of that chocolate?") And we'd just tell them: "Sorry, but we're not selling it. It's priceless." With more refinement, growing fan base, we eventually decided to take the plunge from hobby to selling.

A news article in Fall of 2023 on East Idaho News sort of announced us to the world and we began offering our chocolates for sale,

Experimenting some more

It took over 20 years of learning and reading and continued interest, then the early 2000s artisan craft movement in the US to make small batch bean-to=bar chocolate making a reality for us. Prior to the first batch we ever made, we spent about two years researching everything we could on bean-to-bar chocolate making. Once we had our recipes perfected, the challenge was to upgrade to larger equipment that would make 500 bars at a time instead of just 50. So we "splurged" on some fine chocolate making equipment for the next step up from a company in Italy (FBM) and outfitted our commercial kitchen. Although we had our recipes right, it took another nine months (and it felt about like  having triplets in this process) to get our new chocolate creation to properly temper and mold and be halfway presentable to the public. We molded and remelted probably about 10,000 bars in that process (and did the corresponding dishes) and learned a lot, which is always the euphemism people use when they maybe didn't really appreciate the whole experience as much as they'd want to admit. After a lot of learning, we finally had bars that were worthy to be called "ready for sale".

Keto Chocolate?

In our experimenting and sharing, we found something truly interesting. A lot of friends who couldn't (they wouldn't I guess) eat chocolate. Say what? Why? They were on no-sugar keto diets for various reasons. Either to work out (think fitness) or to lose weight (dieting with very restricted carb and sugar counting). That inspired us to develop a keto-friendly sugar-free chocolate that actually tastes amazing! (I'm not keo/sugar-free and I like it, but those who are keto people have absolutely loved it.) So that's part of our story too. And a few diabetics have found us as well and of course now they can eat great chocolate as well.

Our Goals

• Produce the best chocolate in the world of course! (I've been told that everyone says that though). We're talking about ridiculously smooth like you've never had before (we're not kidding), amazing flavors like you've never tried. (Not just amazing milk chocolate and dark chocolate, but our award winning Raspberry Cream, Pineapple Cream for example)  Something at a level of quality, taste and texture not done before. We're shooting for something unique and different, distinctly amazing.

• Doing it with sustainability in mind. Both in the supply chain, including farmers who get paid well and ethical practices surrounding sourcing. Additionally, we make our chocolate with solar energy at our location. We have about 38kw of solar panels behind our building and it's our main source of power.

• Providing high quality products in the keto sugar-free arena also.

• Having some fun wit it all and going on an adventure.

• Being involved in charity work with local homeless organizations and the elderly.

​

We're located in Idaho Falls, Idaho, USA, and hope to bring you some of the best chocolate you've ever tasted.

And we have Thor on our side! If you're in the area, come see us at the local famer's markets (Idaho Falls, ID and Jackson Hole, WY, or arrange a tour or just to come by and see what we're all about.
