Tapping into the nostalgia and comfort of classic cinema snacks, Raaka Chocolate created a pair of micro-batch chocolate bars that evoke the magic of movie nights in every bite.
Cherry Licorice is a 67% cacao bar infused with cherry, brown rice syrup, and star anise to pay homage to chewy red rope candy. The other chocolate inspired by a concession stand favorite, Popcorn, also features Ugandan dark chocolate, but it features a slightly lower percentage of cocoa studded with crushed popped corn kernels for a salty, crunchy treat.
These unroasted dark chocolate bars are exclusively available in September to members of Raaka Chocolate's monthly First Nibs service, which treats subscribers to fun and unexpected flavors on a monthly basis.
