Gradient Chocolate Bar Packaging

Little MOTHERHOUSE's Natural Bars are Inspired by the Seasons

— March 29, 2021 — Lifestyle
Little MOTHERHOUSE, a Japanese food company that specializes in delicious chocolates and candies, has introduced a range of chocolate bars that are decorated with beautiful gradient designs that spotlight the complex flavors that are infused into each bar.

A few of Little MOTHERHOUSE's flavors include matcha raspberry, yuzu black pepper, and black currant brandy. When creating its flavors, the company uses cocoa beans that are grown in Sulawesi, Indonesia. The cocoa beans are then dyed with colorful teas and fruits, providing a natural and delicious treat. Little MOTHERHOUSE reportedly designed the chocolate bars around the four seasons in Japan, with the 12 flavors joined together with changing hues that match up with one another's gradients.
