Chocolate Bar Clubs

The Mast Brothers Chocolate Bar Subscription Service Boasts Vibrant Packaging

— December 24, 2015 — Business
With an innovative bean-to-bar philosophy, Mast Brothers chocolate bars have gained a niche following. Despite the growing popularity of the luxury chocolatier, the brand has decided to embark on a new venture called the 'Mast Brothers Chocolate Club' -- a quarterly chocolate bar subscription service that provides 12 medium chocolate bars varying in flavor.

The subscription also comes with a seasonal large chocolate bar, and a list of special privileges including discounts, factory tours, new products and events invitations. Whether you have a sweet tooth or not, this unique service is a must-have for art and design lovers as well. The new subscription launching in February 2016 coincides with the brand's recently unveiled collection, which pairs new flavors with stunning graphics, abstract designs and an overall contemporary visual aesthetic.
