In my mind’s eye my Mama is calling me to her bedroom in Indiana. It is filled with the cakes I’ve baked for her in my Easy Bake Oven. Even at an early age, food was an expression of my love. It allowed me to show gratitude to others and was the language I used when I was too shy to use words to reveal my heart.

When I wasn’t baking, I was in nature, picking up stones and rocks as I went. Between the dawn and when she called me in at night, I marveled at the terrain. Everything I found there seemed to have meaning. It was filled with magical signs that only I could interpret.

But home was a place that moved slowly, and I sought somewhere that was a little bit quicker. The rhythms of the Universe called me to Vanderbilt. There I gravitated towards those that saw beauty clearly. My friend David was such a soul. Random (because I didn’t know to call that spiritual in the 90’s,) laid back and Californian. I wanted to understand what and who I was, and he exposed me to experiences that would shape the course of that education. He led me to a community that was bigger than the day to day, to a place where the music was magic and feeling it connected me to a universal source where I could see glimpses of the self I was on a quest for.

A Grateful Dead show held a space for feeling, open-heartedness, flow, and freedom. In a word it was DIVINE. The music was healing and while I knew that the path ahead of me was for my steps alone, those nights under skies of diamonds, filled with the lulling jams of space, were illuminating, transcendent and gave me a sense of belonging. It was a profound gathering, a collective. It was love. It was human.

At these shows my years long fascination with collecting pebbles and stones began to take on new meaning. Crystals found their way into the hands of many people in this otherworld. They were of the earth, each holding a vibration passed from caretaker to caretaker. Just like the music, they held mystical powers of healing. I’ve kept that knowledge close. As I have traveled the world bringing stories to life through the medium of chocolate, I have continued to study their therapeutic nature. I have released crystals to others when they would serve them better than me and allowed new ones to come me while my belief in their power has grown.

The epic trips of my life are filled with soundtracks of my own making and many of the songs and lessons come from the iconic storytelling of the Grateful Dead. For their generosity, I dedicate this collection to them.

Peace, Love & Chocolate,

Katrina

As I’ve continued to explore the cosmos and its relationship to the earth and its inhabitants, I have been led to Ancient Egypt. This was the birthplace of extraordinary ritual. A place where spirituality and the body were intertwined, and one’s body was the temple.

The alchemists of Ancient Egypt harnessed vibrations and included the mystical into their everyday affairs. As such, astrology was viewed as the gateway to contemplation of the soul’s future, their own afterlife. The night time sky represented that the afterlife would be a mirror of their present life on earth.

Our craft is alchemical, as well. Alchemical chocolate is a magical process that transforms foodstuff into a bodily, mental and spiritual collection of chocolates that serendipitously aligns to you, our beloved guest, at your core intrinsic nature.

I am guided by the forces of my intuition. One day my curiosity brought me to a cat of stunning aesthetics, and as I learned more and more, she was a goddess cat of Egypt, and her name was Bastet. She is a protector of children, women, as well as a celebrant of the sensual. During this time my young son was asking for a cat. This was my sign to dig deeper. So I did, I dug into the landscape of ancient Egypt to find, despite the fact it was surrounded desert, the Nile river’s edge was rich and robust with plants, minerals, spices and rituals that held powerful secrets for medicinal and aphrodisiacal purposes. I was led by this curiosity of Bastet as a story, palette and intuition to explore more about the other goddesses and queens of Ancient Egypt, through chocolate. This collection is infused with a special, love sound vibration that will noticeably make life seem much sweeter.

Peace, Love & Chocolate,

Katrina

Rosewater Facial Tonic

From ancient times the Rose has been known to be a symbol of balance.

There were two types of roses most prevalent in ancient Egypt. One known as Rosa Ricardii has long been extinct. It was the rose most used in funerary wreaths and to adorn burial chambers. The other type of rose, the Rosa Gallica, still survives to this day and is cultivated throughout Europe. Roses have long been utilized for their anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

To tone, smooth and brighten your skin, you can make the following recipe.

• In a small bowl, mix the following:
• 4 tablespoons of rosewater
• 2 tablespoons of witch hazel
• 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar (for breakouts if you have them)
• 5 drops of tea tree oil
• 5 drops of your favorite essential oil for scent (lavender, lemon, geranium are all beautiful scents with additional properties beneficial to the skin.
• Transfer the mixture to a small spray bottle.
• The facial toner can be sprayed directly on the skin or applied using a cotton pad.

Dead Sea Salt Scrub for the Shower or Bath

Dead Sea salt was utilized in bath soaks, skin creams, and soaps in Ancient Egypt. The Dead Sea's mineral composition varied with season, rainfall, depth of deposit, and ambient temperature. Its high concentration of magnesium is helpful in improving skin hydration and reducing inflammation.

To detoxify and gently exfoliate the skin, prepare the following recipe.

• In a small bowl mix 1 cup of fine grain Dead Sea Salts with 1/2 cup Almond oil.
• To this mixture add 5-10 drops of your favorite essential oil.
• Use this mixture as a scrub to polish the skin or dissolve in warm bath water.

Lavender, peppermint, cedar and rose oils were all used by the Ancient Egyptians.

Milk and Honey Face Mask

Cleopatra took many baths to keep her skin beautiful. Her flawless visage was part of the spell that captivated all who were mesmerized by her.

For glowing skin of your own, make the following recipe.

• In a blender or a small mortar for grinding spices, powder one tablespoon of Lavender buds for soothing skin and 1/8 cup of raw almonds to polish and brighten the skin with its natural oils.
• Gently heat 3/4 cup of organic whole milk. The lactic acid in the milk contains alpha-hydroxy acid what will naturally assist with exfoliation.
• To the warmed milk add 1/4 cup of your favorite honey. Honey opens the pores to clear away dirt and toxins. Because it is also a humectant, it will moisturize the skin while drawing moisture to it.
• Off of the flame, mix the milk and honey together until they merge.
• Add the powdered lavender and almonds to the warm milk and honey.
• When the mixture is cool to the touch, use a small brush or your fingertips to apply it to your cleansed face.
• Remove with a damp, warm, cloth after 10-20 minutes.

(1) Caramel Marshmallows, 9 pieces: Madagascar vanilla bean + fluffy marshmallow + burnt sugar caramel + 62% cacao dark chocolate + pecans and walnuts

These addictive morsels were born a bit by accident... After breaking our Bapchi's Caramel Toffee into bite size chunks, we are left with a pile of toffee crumble which consists of walnut and pecan pieces, bits of sugary toffee and milk chocolate. Too good to waste, we began mixing it into other yummy sweets like marshmallows and caramel which we snacked on around the office. Realizing we were onto something bigger than office snacks, I fine–tuned the recipe and covered the sweet treats in bitter, dark chocolate. Crowned with a sprinkle of the toffee bits, the Vosges Caramel Marshmallows entered the world where it immediately became a sought after hit and the perfect answer to the call for comfort foods.

(1) Smoke and Stout Caramel Chocolate Bar: Forbidden Root beer + Alderwood smoked salt + burnt sugar caramel + 70% cacao dark chocolate

My original inspiration came from a desire to create a product a bit more masculine in nature. My love of chocolate stout made it an obvious choice. Pondering other flavors to play with the beer, I decided on smoke and chose Alderwood smoked salt to flavor the caramel. 

This bar has been my obsession this year. It is one of the best things I have tasted in ages. Though inspired with the fellas in mind, I predict it will be a favorite for all.

12-month aged Spanish Manchego + Dried Tart Cherry + 62% cacao dark chocolate

"Back in my Vanderbilt days as a Chemistry major, I spent many a day in the laboratory, where I donned Poindexter goggles and tinkered with combustion as tinctures warmed in Pyrex beakers. As part of my "general" curriculum, I enrolled in the required science classes, joining my classmates each week in small lecture halls where we learned about mitochondria and reaction mechanisms and genetic recombination. It was there that I came across the process of fermentation. Now applying this to the Curious contemplation of Cheese + Chocolate" - Katrina

fruitwood smoked uncured bacon + 72% cacao dark chocolate + Alderwood smoked salt

"I began experimenting with bacon + chocolate at the tender age of 6, while eating chocolate chip pancakes drenched in Aunt Jemima® syrup, as children often do. Beside my chocolate-laden cakes laid three strips of sizzlin' bacon, just barely touching a sweet pool of maple syrup. And then, the magic—just a bite of the bacon was too salty and I yearned for the sweet kiss of chocolate and syrup, so I combined the two. In retrospect, perhaps this was a turning point; for on that plate something magical happened, the beginnings of a combination so ethereal and delicious that it would haunt my thoughts until I found the medium to express it—chocolate. 

From there, it was just a matter of time…and what began as a love of salt and sweet quickly unraveled into an obsession. No sooner could I wait to unveil the royal coupling in solid bar form, a deep milk chocolate with bits and pieces of hickory smoked uncured bacon and just a sprinkling of Alderwood smoked salt. Really, what doesn't taste better with bacon?"

(1) Black Salt Caramel Exotic Chocolate Bar: black Hawaiian sea salt + burnt sugar caramel + 72% cacao dark chocolate

My first black salt caramel creation was born in the form of a truffle for the Marchesa Collection inspired by the 19th century Italian diva, Luisa Casati. She was one of the first femme fatales, known for her grand parties where she would show up with snakes around her neck. It is also said that Casati was spotted walking the streets of Venice at night escorted by cheetahs in jeweled collars. The black Hawaiian salt and dark chocolate are inspired by my muse's signature dark India ink make up. 

Black Hawaiian salt or Hiwa Kai is a blend of sea salt and volcanic charcoal. The salt is harvested naturally in ocean pools that have formed from past volcanic eruptions. The salt's striking obsidian hue is matched only by its flavor on your palate—slightly nutty and smoky—the perfect combination with burnt caramel and dark chocolate. 

Enjoy this most decadent indulgence.

Alderwood Smoked Salt and Cocoa Nibs in 80% Dark Chocolate

Taste…Pacific sea salts are cold smoked over Alderwood from the Pacific Northwest to produce dark brown crystals with a strong, smoky aroma. The granules are blended into our Super Dark 80% cacao chocolate, our most intense variety, with deep roasted vegetation, dried fruit and a touch of tart berry to its parfum. The concoction is finally kissed with the slightly bitter and heart-healthy crunch of Ghana cocoa nibs.
