Dark Chocolate
Askinosie Chocolate is a small batch bean to bar chocolate manufacturer located in Springfield, Missouri.
Because it’s Christmas, I want to share the amazing Askinosie Chocolate story. I’ve taken the tour a couple of times because I love Askinosie chocolate, and I admire entreprenuer Shawn Askinosie.
My BFF just sent The Chalk-late Box.™ It has a chalkboard-top that is a perfect way to send a message to friend.
Buy Askinosie Chocolate at the Springfield factory or online
Chalk-late Box.™ is a top selling gift item on the website.

I like supporting the people that support our community. See for yourself how one man can touch so many lives.
Single-origin dark chocolate, dark milk chocolate, and white chocolate from three origins: Soconusco, Mexico; San Jose Del Tambo, Ecuador; and Davao, Philippines. Shawn Askinosie travels to Mexico, Ecuador, the Philippines to source the cocoa beans that he uses to make chocolate.
Shawn Askinosie founded The Chocolate University in late 2007 to give local students a hands-on educational experience in entrepreneurship, sustainable practices, fair trade, economics, and global engagement.
Price: The Chalk-late Box™ $43.

Good News for Gardeners: When I travel through Springfield MO, I can usually buy fragrant cocoa bean mulch, when I stop by the Askinoise chocolate factory at a fraction of the cost at Garden Centers.
I can “see” one of the Muppets: “mmmmm, chocolate”. It’s so good that Mr. Askinoise is not just selling chocolate, but educating buyers and helping his town.
What a heart warming story for this time of year. Of course chocolate is heart-warming no matter what time of year!
Love chocolate. Sounds like a great gift. I’ll look it up.
