[Raaka](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beet-salad-swirl) specializes in unroasted dark chocolate that prioritizes traceable, quality and transparently traded single-origin cacao, which it uses to create unconventionally flavored bars like [Sweet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milos-peach-sweet-tea) Corn Swirl. This 54% cacao unroasted dark chocolate bar by Raaka offers up the unusual pairing of corn and chocolate for a treat that's as flavorful as it is visually interesting.

Raaka's Monthly Chocolate Subscription also provides a taste of other extremely limited, [micro-batch dark chocolate bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micro-batch-chocolate-bars) products from the brand. Alongside Sweet Corn Swirl, the March 2024 edition includes Purple Corn & Coffee Swirl with 61% cacao and Mole Negro with 70% cacao. This themed batch celebrates 10 years of First Nibs and brings back three of the brand's favorite corn-infused chocolate bars.
