Chocolate Honey Candy

The Busy Bee Has No Time for Sorrow William Blake gave bees their best one-line biography, and it fits this candy too. Chocolate is usually the moody one: it melts in a warm car, blooms in a pantry, sulks in a summer mailbox. So we gave cocoa a sturdier home. Real cocoa, folded into hard honey candy, holds all of chocolate’s depth with none of its drama. Honey and cocoa are old companions. Both start with a blossom and a pollinator; cacao trees carry their own small white flowers, worked by tiny insects the way our bees work wildflowers. In each drop, the honey opens first, and then the cocoa arrives, dark and steady, the way it does at the bottom of a cup of drinking chocolate. Each hexagon-window box holds 3.5 ounces of drops made without corn syrup and without gluten. The box is sustainably made paper you can recycle or compost, and the inner bag is recyclable food-grade plastic. What Makes Our Chocolate Honey Candy Special? Real cocoa: Actual cocoa in the recipe, not chocolate flavoring. Five ingredients total: Non-GMO sugar, honey, water, cocoa, and Non-GMO coconut oil. Chocolate without the meltdown: Hard candy travels where a chocolate bar can’t: a backpack, a purse, a picnic basket, a summer gift box. Sweet first, then cocoa: The flavor arrives in order. Honey opens bright, and cocoa follows with a darker, slower finish. Gluten-free and corn-syrup-free: Made without gluten or corn syrup. Produced in a facility that handles peanuts and tree nuts. Thoughtful packaging: A sustainably made paper box with a honeycomb window, recyclable or home-compostable when clean and dry. Keep chocolate on hand in every season. How to use: Eat them right out of the box. Keep the box in a desk drawer or the pantry, or send it along in a lunchbox where a chocolate bar would never survive the morning. Let a drop dissolve alongside black coffee and the cocoa deepens as it melts. For gifting, pair a box with our honey varietals for a tasting that runs from hive to cacao grove. Store in a cool, dry place away from sun and humidity.
