Antidote is an artisan confections brand specializing in premium dark chocolate bars that are 100% raw and sugar-free. Known for its bold selection of flavors, the company creates floral dark chocolate bars with rose and lavender-infused ingredients.

These notable flavors include Hebe: Rose Salt + Lemon flavor with 77% cacao and Panakeia: Lavender + Red Salt with 84% cacao. Both dark chocolate bars are made with [raw cacao beans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rawmio-premium-raw-chocolate-bars), cacao butter and [whole cane sugar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/datesweetened-chocolate-bars) and are vegan, gluten-free and kosher.

While Antidote's Hebe: Rose Salt + Lemon bar boasts a subtle and delicate flavor profile that fuses rose salt from the Andes mountains with a [hint of lemon zest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tcho-lemon-twist), the Panakeia: Lavender + Red Salt bar is described as more "potent and floral," fusing lavender flowers with earthy red-alaea salt.
