Our Chocolate Partnership

The Bark of Joy Candy Co. started with a simple premise: to take an already healthy product and make it taste even healthier and tasty. Then what I thought would be only one simple candy was born a whole company and a vast of other delicious petite sweet treats. I also wanted to have fun while doing it.

It all starts with chocolate. Every thing we do has chocolate. It's ALL centered around the chocolate. Its the theme of the Party....Always!

I needed to find a partner who was not only providing the world's finest chocolate, but was also committed to the manufacturing specifics and ethical standards that I hold dear. I was blessed and favored to find a partner whose passion for providing premium chocolate is exemplified in everything we do. The character and integrity of the company is just as important a the product itself.

To start, our chocolate producers work directly with the people who grow the cacao beans that are vital to production of fine chocolate. They invested time, money and energy into partnering with these growers. I've invested time, money and energy as well in selecting a partner that I trust to be true to me as well. The return is beneficial and mutual for all parties.

While the beans are the most important part, what happens after the beans are picked helps define the final product. Fine chocolate making is a recipe that require equal parts of art and science. Each growing season, cacao beans will exhibit different qualities-some things are beyond our control, Mother Nature. Our fine chocolate makers, through over 50 years of experience, take these beans and ferment and roast to specification, based upon the characteristics of the beans, not trying to force a flavor that the beans is incapable of offering. Through their artisanal methods have been honed over several generations, and they are backed by state-of-the-art testing and manufacturing processes.

Through our partnership we are proud to report that the result are a pure and luscious chocolates that has no equal. Because the chocolate is made in small batches, you will notice subtle differences from batch to batch, without compromised taste!
