My delicious caffeinated chocolate is safe for most to enjoy, but it is NOT made in a nut-free facility and may contain traces of tree nuts and peanuts.
Friends, my beloved caffeinated chocolate is made with simple, delicious ingredients. No artificial colors or flavors, no gluten, kosher and non-gmo. You can get all the details on your favorite flavor(s) below:
Milk Chocolate

Caramel
Milk chocolate (Sugar, cocoa butter, chocolate liquor, whole milk powder, soy lecithin (added as an emulsifier), natural vanilla extract), caramel filling (tapioca syrup, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, coconut oil, water, brown sugar, sorbitol, salt, sunflower lecithin (added as an emulsifier), natural flavors, potassium sorbate), caffeine, soybean oil.
Peanut Butter
Milk chocolate (Sugar, cocoa butter, chocolate liquor, whole milk powder, soy lecithin (added as an emulsifier), natural vanilla extract), peanut butter filling (Dry roasted peanut, sucrose, modified palm oil, sea salt), hydrogenated palm kernel oil, caffeine, soybean oil.

If you're interested in becoming a wholesale customer, please email my handlers at support@awakechocolate.com, referencing 'wholesale' in the subject line.
My handlers will reach out to collect some necessary information from you, such as a purchase volume forecast and a resale exemption certificate. Things will get moving from there.
It's true, friends. Chocolate naturally contains a small amount of caffeine. According to the USDA, it's about 10 mg per ounce of chocolate. And, the darker the chocolate (i.e. the higher the cacao percentage), the more the caffeine. But friends, that's nowhere near enough caffeine to put more pep in your step.
That's where my beloved caffeinated chocolate comes in. Each bite sized pieces is comparable to 1/2 cup of coffee while each full sized bar (or 2 bites) is comparable to a whole cup of coffee.

If you're checking this question, let me offer you my sincere apologies, friend.
All locations in the lower 48 states should receive shipment within 2 business days (though many are reached in one day). Since my handlers don't want your chocolate sitting in transit over the weekend, orders received Thursday through Sunday are shipped on Mondays. That means that if you order on Thursday, there's a good chance you won't receive your chocolate until the following Wednesday.
You should have received an email containing shipping confirmation with your tracking details within 1 business day of your order. Alas, sometimes technology is unreliable. My handlers will happily provide you with an ETA if you reach out to them at awakechocolate@worldpantry.com. Please include your order number in the subject line.
Spectacular question, friend! There are two kinds of chocolate bloom:
Sugar Bloom:
If the chocolate has a grainy, rough texture and white appearance, it is probably sugar bloom. This happens when chocolate is exposed to moisture -- either stored in a humid environment OR transferred from cold storage to room temperature, which can cause condensation. In both cases, moisture dissolves some of the sugar on the chocolate's surface. When the moisture evaporates, the sugar re-solidifies and leaves behind the grainy, white texture or 'bloom'.
Fat Bloom:
If there is a grayish film appearance on the chocolate, it is probably fat bloom. This happens when chocolate is stored (or transported) at too high a temperature. The high temperature causes the cocoa butter (fat) to soften and make its way to the surface of the chocolate.
Sometimes, fat bloom is also caused by other ingredients in the chocolate. For example, oil in the natural peanut butter filling of my beloved Peanut Butter chocolate bars and bites can sometimes make its way to the chocolate surface and cause bloom.
In all three cases: looks whitish, still safe to eat, still delish.

My handlers take great care to make sure that your order doesn't turn into caffeinated fondue during summer shipping (although, I can tell you from experience that caffeinated chocolate fondue is scrumptious).
During the warmer months, my beloved chocolate is shipped in special insulated boxes with cold packs to prevent melting. All locations in the lower 48 states are reached within 2 business days, which further reduces melting risk.
Indeed it is, friends. My beloved chocolate is certified Kosher by The Orthodox Union.
Nope. Huzzah!
