We’re still looking skyward: NORDIC MYTHOLOGY! For years, we've been intrigued by the folklore and fairytales stemming from the Nordic night sky, and how they bring light to the darkest months. Join us as we delve into the stories of Nordic Mythology where 25 chocolates are paired with 25 tales.

Danish artist Lisa Grue-Sørensen has brought the calendar to life with her beautiful illustrations. As in years past, we'll have daily videos featuring each chocolatier, and Thomas DuBois, an expert in Nordic astral lore from the acclaimed , will share the mythology behind each day's tale.

Also included is an illustrated hardcover storybook and a traditional paper-cut North Star.

Head over to our stories to see all 24 chocolatiers who are participating in this year’s calendar.

Our 12-piece Aperitivo & Digestivo Collection brings you a taste of Italian summer — straight from the kitchen of Head Chocolatier Dany Kamkhagi, of Houston’s . Dany brings the flavors of Negroni, Luxardo del Santo, Caffè Corretto, and Amaro del Capo to our gently fruity Costa Esmeraldas chocolate — inviting you to share four velvety bonbon varieties as you would a round of drinks.

We first met Dany last year when he submitted confections for our Advent Calendar blind tasting. (His Hazelnut Comet became one of the most talked-about treats of our 2025 Calendar.)

This new Collection, which draws on his childhood memories and family traditions, begins with a bonbon evoking Dany’s go-to aperitivo: the Negroni. Blood-orange pâte de fruit is spiked with Campari, while subtly sweet ganache made with Grassotti Vermouth di Torino mellows the finish. From there, build up or wind down the evening with Luxardo del Santo, Amaro del Capo, and Caffè Correto bonbons.

Available for pre-order, and will begin shipping on Tuesday, June 9th. It will be available in our S.F. and Las Vegas retail stores by then as well. Buon appetito. https://www.dandelionchocolate.com/products/aperitivo-and-digestivo-collection?_pos=1&_sid=4013cb24b&_ss=r

Last year, Chef Durfee invited some of the Bay Area’s best chefs to our factory to prepare multi-course brunches. They were such a fun success, we’re bringing brunch back this summer.

Three brunches feature 10 chefs — including our neighbor Tolgay, of Baklava Story; Ryan Seal, of Sea Ranch; and Melissa Perello, of Octavia. Every course incorporates cacao or chocolate in some form.

We do expect these events to sell out, so select your tickets soon.
