Chocolarder Spruce Shoots 70% Dark Chocolate Bar

Pine, in chocolate? Aren’t they just for dressing in lights and baubles for December?

The first time we tried pine needles, we were blown away by the flavour and knew it would pair incredibly well with chocolate. I actually first ate pine at a feast on Bodmin moor, 12 years ago. We were served toasted marshmallows which had pine needles running through them, it was fascinating and delicious. We settled on the Seram Island cocoa beans, their mellow cocoa flavour allows the new spruce shoots to shine.

After foraging the fresh shoots here in Cornwall, we freeze dry and grind them into cocoa butter which is then combined with the dark chocolate to make a pretty special and wonderfully wintery bar.
