MAST is a Brooklyn-based craft chocolate company that is now making a collection of themed chocolate bars inspired by cities around the world. The collection includes the London Collection, the Los Angeles Collection and naturally, the Brooklyn Collection.
Some of the unique flavors that can be found in each bundle of six bars include Black Treacle, Gin, Horchata, Popcorn and Rooftop Chili.
