Bowl Full of Chocolate

Start your day right with some chocolaty goodness. Take your bowl of oatmeal and add a little sprinkle of chocolate. Delysia Chocolatier’s chocolate bark would be the perfect addition to your bowl with so many different flavors to choose from. Our lavender chocolate bark will add a fresh chocolate flavor to your oats while the pecan cayenne chocolate bark will give you that little kick you need to start your day!

Combine Dinner and Dessert

When choosing your recipe try to look for one that calls for melted chocolate in the batter and in the frosting. The melted chocolate will help keep the cake moist and full of chocolate flavor. If you like a bold chocolate flavor try adding Delysia’s coffee dark chocolate bark. This will bring out the chocolate in the cake while giving it a slight coffee flavor.
