Chocolate Minis

What are chocolate minis?

For about the past two years, we have included a small, thin, packaged chocolate minis with every online order.  They are 1 1/4 inch squared and weigh 4-5 grams.  Since we continue to receive requests to offer them as a product on our website, we have listened and done so.  You are able to mix and match and try smaller amounts before purchasing an entire chocolate bar.

What are the ingredients in the minis?

To learn more about the cacao and producers who make them possible as well as the ingredients and possible allergens, please go to the product page for each chocolate.  From time to time, we will have chocolate minis remaining after we have sold out of the larger chocolate bar form of the same chocolate.  When this occurs, we will no longer have a product page available.  We will do our best to find a way to convey enough information so that you can have some idea about the ingredients and potential allergens.  You are always welcome to email us at info@ketchcoffee.com to ask specific questions.

Allergens

While our equipment is cleaned often and every time after processing chocolate products with allergens, it is possible that our bars may still contain trace amounts of dairy and tree nuts as all of our chocolate is manufactured on the same equipment.  Our chocolate products are soy and gluten free.  

What does "bean to bar" mean?

By "bean to bar" we mean that the final chocolate products we sell were transformed by us from unroasted cacao seeds (beans).  We carefully select, sort, roast, crack, winnow, grind, refine, and temper small batches of cacao beans from around the world into craft chocolate to explore the world of unique flavors that await.  Cacao is like coffee in that it is the seed of a fruit with very unique flavor profiles, which can be enhanced or diminished by how it is handled throughout the supply chain and ultimately by the roaster and chocolatier.  Our goal for the chocolate bar is to offer an expression of the cacao that highlights attributes that make it unique and special while at the same time being balanced and approachable.
