Mothers’ Day is this Sunday and have we got the perfect bar for all the fierce, bad ass, spectacular, intelligent, superhero Moms out there.

This Maravilhosa (Marvelous) bar was crafted by Arcelia Gallardo of as a tribute to women for International Women’s Day. The bar became so popular that she makes it year round.

This bar is a perfect blend of Brazilian cacao with raspberries and blackberries. I mean perfect. Tart, sweet, & chocolaty. The flavours are deep and intense resulting in a bar that any chocolate loving mom will enjoy.

Stop by the shop this weekend to make sure the best mom in the world gets some of the world’s best chocolate.
