"In 2005, I expanded our Exotic Candy Bar line to include a 70% cacao dark chocolate bar blended with cacao nibs and Café du Monde chicory coffee; I named the bar "Creole" in homage to the vibrant city of New Orleans."

During the Civil War just south of the Mason-Dixon Line, a new breed of coffee emerged. This dark, thick brew was punctuated by bitter and tannic undertones, incomparable to coffees produced prior. The added depth was from a specific type of chicory, the root of the wild flower Cichorium intybus. The root was sliced, dried and roasted until completely blackened, then ground to a fine grain. Legend has it that the practice began during the Civil War after the North intercepted coffee en route to the Confederacy from Europe, leaving New Orleans locals to improvise. Today, many southerners prefer the taste of chicory coffee, and it remains a cornerstone of the famous café au lait at New Orleans' Café du Monde.
