Exploding Coal: A Fun Twist on the Naughty List

Dark chocolate with popping candy and a touch of sea salt.

If Santa’s naughty list had an upside, this bar of “coal” would be it! Rich dark chocolate, a pop of fizzy candy, and a hint of sea salt make Chuao’s Exploding Coal bars a playful treat for kids and adults alike.

How to Enjoy:

• Stocking Stuffer with a Twist: Perfect for mischievous little elves or cheeky adults, this bar makes a fun and unexpected stocking stuffer. To take things a step further, use the bars to make homemade truffles dusted in black cocoa powder to make them look like actual pieces of coal!

• Gag Gift Upgrade: Perfect for White Elephant exchanges or office parties, pair a few of these bars with a note that says, "Naughty never tasted so nice." Bonus points if you dress like the Grinch when you gift them!

• Pop-and-Crackle S’mores: Use mini Exploding Coal bars in s’mores for an unexpected crackling sensation that’s as magical as the season.

For the Love of Peppermint: A Classic Holiday Favorite

Dark chocolate with refreshingly crunchy peppermint pieces.

Nothing says "holidays" quite like mint, and Chuao’s For the Love of Peppermint is the perfect blend of cool, crisp peppermint and smooth, rich dark chocolate. If you’re looking for a treat that’s both nostalgic and sophisticated, this bar is for you.

How to Enjoy:

• Christmas Hot Chocolate Bombs: Mix our Deluxious Dark Drinking Chocolate with broken pieces of our For the Love of Peppermint bars, then spoon the mixture into dark chocolate spheres and decorate with a drizzle of white chocolate. These gorgeous gourmet treats are perfect for melting into a warm mug of milk for a serious hot cocoa upgrade.

• Peppermint Fudge: Give grandma’s favorite recipe a fresh and festive twist. Our simple recipe is made with evaporated milk and marshmallow fluff, making it absolutely foolproof—no candy thermometer required!

• Gift Topper: Use bars as edible gift tags by wrapping the middle in a strip of red construction paper with the recipient’s name. Who doesn’t love a bonus gift, especially when it’s chocolate?!?

Snuggle Up S’mores: Cozy Campfire Bliss

Dark chocolate with graham cracker pieces and mini mint marshmallow bits.

This bar brings the wintry campfire vibes indoors. With rich dark chocolate, crunchy graham cracker pieces, and soft mint-infused marshmallow bits, Snuggle Up S’mores is everything you love about s'mores in one bite.

How to Enjoy:

• Holiday Movie Night Treat: Grab a pack of minis and serve them alongside buttery popcorn and Chuao drinking chocolate for a cozy Christmas movie marathon with the family. She’s a beaut, Clark!

• S'mores Cookies: Fold chopped pieces of the bar into buttery cookie dough for a refreshing take on gooey, s'mores-inspired cookies. Want even more chocolate? We don’t blame you. Try these s’mores crinkle cookies instead!

• DIY Gift Baskets: Create a winter snack basket with Snuggle Up S’mores, jumbo marshmallows, and old-fashioned graham crackers for friends who love cozy campfire vibes. Consider adding some telescoping marshmallow roasting sticks and a firestarter log to ensure they have everything they need for s’more s’mores.

Hope, Joy & Gingerbread: A Holiday Hug in a Bar

Milk chocolate infused with warming gingerbread spice and crispy cookie bits.

Our hope, joy & gingerbread bar wraps up the cozy warmth of gingerbread into smooth milk chocolate with just the right amount of salt. Crunchy cookie bits add texture, while the gingery spice mix brings all the familiar feels.

How to Enjoy:

• Hot Chocolate Spoons: Melt the bars in a double boiler, then dip plastic or wooden spoons until the spoon base is fully coated. Lay them on a parchment-lined work surface to set, then repeat several more times to create a thick chocolate layer. Top the final layer with mini marshmallows and sparkling for extra flair, then wrap in a clear cellophane bag tied with a ribbon and instructions to stir the spoon into a mug of hot milk.

• Holiday Charcuterie Board: Add gingerbread bar minis to a dessert-inspired grazing board with your favorite Christmas cookies, graham crackers, nuts, creamy s’mores hot chocolate dip, delightfully dark spicy maya dipping sauce, and chewy dried fruit. It’s a festive centerpiece your guests will love!

• Cookie Platter Perfection: Give your classic holiday treats a gingery upgrade! Our molasses chocolate chip cookies and gingerbread brownies are guaranteed crowd-pleasers.
