How to use it
-
Eat it slowly. One serving is half the bar; this is a bar you sit with rather than finish absently.
-
Let it warm in the mouth. The fudge and toasted-nut notes open as the cacao butter softens.
-
Try it before a sitting practice if you want something to mark the start of a session.
-
Store it cool and dark, away from strong smells — cacao butter picks up whatever is nearby.
-
Do not expect candy. The manufacturer is blunt about this, and so are we.

✨ Temple Tip — half a bar is a serving, and that is deliberate
A 28 g serving is enough to feel the texture and the finish without overwhelming them. Break the bar in two when you open it and put half away — the second half tastes better tomorrow than the second half of a bar you were already tired of.
