YES, IT’S CHOCOLATE.

Am I Ready for Tiki Oasis??
I Can’t Believe it is One Week Away!
(And folks, there are STILL tickets available!)

Tiki Oasis has become one of my MOST favorite events of the year! This will be my 4th year selling in the Tiki Oasis Marketplace, and for almost 3 years, I’ve been working on a project that combines two of my favorite things:

Fine chocolate and tiki mugs.

I’m Thrilled to Finally Share it with You!
Introducing the First Annual Chocolate Tiki Mug:

Made with my signature blend - Semi-Sweet 58% cacao chocolate.

Hand-painted with colored cocoa buter.

Entirely edible.

Filled with six hand-painted bonbons from this year’s collection of flavors made specifically for Tiki Oasis.

Created in an edition of just 25 pieces.

And making its debut at Tiki Oasis!

Why the ‘Peanut Mug?’
The inaugural Chocolate Tiki Mug is molded from a classic ‘Peanut Mug’—the mug that introduced so many collectors to the hobby. It felt like the perfect place for a new tradition to begin.

Future annual editions will feature original designs, collaborations with tiki mug artists, and interpretations inspired by classic mugs.

Every Chocolate Tiki Mug includes:
-Hand-painted chocolate Tiki Mug
-Six bonbons featuring this year’s flavors
-A numbered Certificate of Authenticity
-An insulated Spirited Sweets Chocolates tote bag

They are limited to just 25.

To make sure attendees still have a chance to discover them at the show:
-10 are available to reserve before Tiki Oasis.
-15 will be available at my booth.

If you reserve, you’ll also be able to choose your edition number from those still available, if you like.

Reserve yours today (link in my Spirited Sweets Chocolates bio)

Then simply pick it up at my booth during Tiki Oasis.

You know the drill, once all 25 are spoken for, this inaugural edition will never be made again... You’ll have to wait to see what I come up with next year!
