Intense Anatomical Hearts

Description

Nothing cloying or treacly about this one. This anatomical heart represents the wild side of love: the kind that leaves your heart pounding, your pulse racing, an almost out-of-control intensity that can be a little terrifying. The kind of love that reminds you you’re alive, when your heart is raw and feels like it’s beating on the outside of your body. That kind of thing.

This is an intense bonbon. It’s a solid chocolate made with an expert mix of our 66% dark chocolate and 100% dark chocolate, packed with lightly crushed cacao nibs, Stumptown coffee beans, black salt enriched with volcanic minerals, and crunchy bits of bright dried cherries. It’s painted with red-tinted cocoa butter that’s colored with an all-natural beet juice-based food coloring, because while love does sometimes hurt, it shouldn’t have anything to do with anything fake—especially artificial food coloring.
