Roots Chocolates

I had the pleasure of spending some time with Craft Chocolate Maker & Founder Steve Prickett of
We had great conversations about his views on chocolate making, flavor profiling, state of the industry, sourcing cacao beans, and, of course, tasting some of his well crafted, award-winning chocolate bars!
A necessary stop while in Albuquerque. Supporting locally crafted chocolate in our travels!

Where should we go next?

Happy Valentine’s Day! We miss you 💕

Still looking for a gift for Valentine’s? Whether getting something for yourself or someone else, I highly recommend 🍫🍫

And if you know me, you know how picky I am about fine chocolate! These bars, modeled after Indian spices, nuts, and flavors. And they do not disappoint!

I truly enjoyed our visit a few weeks back with Elliott and Hersh*t. Great people!

I can see why they won a recent and are listed as one of the best chocolates in America by magazine!

Wishing you all a happy and safe holiday season from an undisclosed, warm place in South Carolina! 😉

A visit to one of the locations in Bali.
I didn't get a chance to meet the owner a have a chat, but we received a very short tour and then got to taste some of the chocolate samples in their store.

There are numerous flavors and percentages, all plant based ingredients.

Couldn't leave without buying a few bars! Mocha (least favorite because the coffee granules were too large for my liking), Honeycomb (yum) and Sea Salt with Nibs (personal favorite)

I find the chocolate flavor to be very mild. Even at the higher percentages there is little to no astringency. 🍫
