Ritual Honeycomb Toffee
Belize 75%
Heber, Utah
Anna Seear of Utah’s Ritual Chocolate knew she wanted to work with local honey as soon as she co-founded the craft chocolate company. She uses wildflower honey from Hollow Tree Honey in her Honeycomb Toffee bar, a 75% dark chocolate made with Belize cacao.
“I knew I wanted to make a bar with honeycomb toffee, so we played around with a bunch of origins with it, and with the Belize cacao, the flavors just worked so well,” she explains in Episode 21 of Bean to Barstool. “The honeycomb toffee is so sweet and sticky, and the Belize is a rich and balanced dark chocolate with lighter fruity notes. Together, the Belize really made the honey flavor pop.”
