Sweet Raspberry Heart Vegan Chocolate
Mmmm. Chocolate. For most of us (read: Women), just the mention of chocolate puts us in an altered state.
What is better than a bite of sumptuous, richly decadent chocolate that melts to a smooth, buttery consistency in your mouth, delighting all your senses and leaving you craving more?
Well, according to Missionary Chocolates founder and chocolatier, Melissa M. Berry, ND, what would make that bite even better is if the chocolate were vegan-based. That’s right – non-dairy, gluten-free chocolates, no animal products allowed. “We’ve always been ‘foodies’ in my family, my mom has lent me her vegan heritage for inspiration, and it’s culminated into “Missionary Chocolates,” my little home-based business that I can barely keep up with!”
Boule d'Amandes Animal-Product-Free Confection
Melissa’s company has only been in business a year and is dedicated to using locally grown, organic and fair-trade ingredients in her chocolates. Each truffle is handmade in her the company’s kitchens, some requiring hours of preparation time to get the right consistency and flavor.
You might think vegan chocolate would have its limits in flavors, but Missionary Chocolates has traditional (Dark Chocolate Delights) to clever (Sweet Raspberry Hearts) to spicy (Cinnamon Chipotle) confections – yum!
The cost of these unusual delicacies is market rate for a gourmet treat – $3.50 for one (oh, come on, it’s worth it) to $15.00 for four and nine for $30.00. Taste for yourself at the Energy Trust Better Living Show or Melissa will ship her non-animal-based confections anywhere in the U.S.
