Chili and chocolate are almost the perfect combination. The two have been paired together since hte time of the Aztecs when they were used to create a wonderful drink. Mango’s fruity creaminess provides the perfect counterpoint to chili’s warmth, and the two have become a favorite snack worldwide.

I’ve taken the chili mango combination and crafted them together in this bar, which we make with cocoa we source directly from farmers in the Guayas River Basin in Ecuador.

Tasting notes: Ecuadorian cocoa breaks in waves, followed by the arbol chili’s smokey warmth. The calming fruitness of mango finishes.
