Peek inside our conche, just don't fall inside our conche! These paddles rotate and massage the chocolate with air molecules that soften the acidity and bitterness of cacao. Featured here is the last bit of a milk chocolate batch.

Hawaiian Lava Salt harvested from pools of lava rock on Molokai island, tops this 80% bar made with cacao and enhanced with a splash of coconut oil. This bar embodies River-Sea's dedication to educing the health benefits of chocolate. It's nourishing; for high prolonged energy that gives you a dose of MCTs, theobromine, antioxidants, trace minerals, electrolytes, vitamins and essential fatty acids. The perfect snack for the intensity of modern life: whether you are surfing the Potomac, running between meetings, or hiding in the bathroom for a break from the kids. Inspired by surfer

One of Two Newsletters!

Hooray, you've received the last letter we'll be sending from our old platform! We've sent another newsletter from our new Shopify platform, the title is:

"We're excited! Our new store is live. Here’s $10 to celebrate!"

If you don't see the email and it's not in your spam folder, our website has a link to subscribe to the mailing list at the bottom of the home page. If you still don't receive any kind of sign up confirmation, please send us an email at [email protected] so we can investigate.

Update those Bookmarks!

The website URL is still the same as riverseachocolates.com (https://riverseachocolates.com/) , but product URLs have likely changed so links you may have saved to those pages will no longer work. The new shop experience is much easier to navigate, so you won't need to save links to your favorite things!

Links from old newsletters sent through Square eventually won't work at all, or may provide outdated pricing. Going forward, we recommend clicking on links from newsletters received after 9/25/26, to ensure you're being directed to our new site on the Shopify platform!

That's all for now! See you soon!

Salted Caramel Milk Chocolate premiered at our 1 year anniversary party and outsold everything else! It's an absolutely delicious treat. Eight years later, it's still our best selling milk chocolate bar. The caramel is mixed with the chocolate, so no gooey mess on your hands. We added the caramel using pure flavor extracts that are cold processed without the use of any colorants, fillers, diluting agents or preservatives.

Joe, our roaster and he's also a baker. You might not see him since he works overnight, but he’s responsible for the first step in every bar of chocolate we make.
