A New Chapter in Chocolate.
If you were part of Chomp, you know how much we cared about making great chocolate.
But we also learned something the hard way:
Trying to scale craft chocolate like a commodity doesn’t work.
This time, we’re doing it differently.
Instead of chasing scale, we’re going back to what made it special in the first place:
- Small batch production
- High-quality ingredients
- Thoughtful flavors
- A slower, more intentional process
This isn’t a restart.
👉 It’s a return to the craft.
Made in Salem. Shared Everywhere.
Our new home will be in Salem, Oregon — inside the Reed Opera House.
This space will allow us to:
- Make chocolate in small batches
- Host tastings and experiences
- Build something rooted in the local community
At the same time…
We know many of you supported Chomp from across the country.
And that doesn’t change.
👉 We’ll continue offering our chocolate online to our email community — just with a better product, made the right way.
What We're Making.
The First Batch
We’re starting simple — and doing it right.
Three core bars:
- 75% Dark – rich, bold, and balanced
- 60% Dark Almond + Sea Salt – smooth chocolate with a crunch.
- 40% Oat Milk – creamy, mellow, and perfectly sweet
These will be crafted in small batches with a focus on flavor, texture, and quality.
Peanut butter cups
And for supporters only:
- A limited run of peanut butter cups. The same recipe you already love.
Made in small batches exclusively for this campaign
(and not planned for public release)
This first batch is about:
- dialing in quality
- building the foundation
- creating something we’re proud of long-term
Why This Campaign Exists.
Help Us Bring This to Life
Instead of taking on outside funding or cutting corners…
We’re inviting the people who already believe in what we do.
We are starting over, no big equipment or infrastructure.
This limited release helps fund:
- our initial production setup
- ingredients and packaging
- building out our small-batch process
👉 In return, you get access to the very first bars and small-batch products we create.
