Firecracker Dark Chocolate Bar - 2.8 oz
Welcome to the wild side of chocolate! Our Firecracker bar starts with silky 60% dark chocolate, adds a dash of chipotle and a sprinkling of sea salt, and then popping candy explodes for the ultimate surprise. Get ready to stop, drop and savor.
- Two chiles, chipotle and pasilla, bring a warm kick that fans say is balanced with the sea salt and pop, with just enough spice.
- The popping candy crackles on your tongue, and plenty of you tell us it brings back the pop-rock candy of childhood.
- Fair Trade certified and kosher, with no gluten ingredients used.
The Firecracker is part of our Signature Collection, and it's the bar people are a little nervous to try and then glad they did. If chile heat isn't your thing, go easy: this one is made for adventurous eaters and heat lovers, and spice-sensitive folks can find it too intense. Families love breaking it up and sharing the surprise together, and it makes a fun gift or stocking stuffer.
Our dark chocolate is made with cacao, cane sugar, cacao butter, sunflower lecithin and natural vanilla, so the ingredients include no milk, soy, wheat, tree nuts or peanuts. The package states: "May contain almond, hazelnut, pistachio, milk, soy, and wheat." Keep it dry and under 68ºF so the chocolate stays silky and the candy keeps its pop.
At Chuao, we say if it's not a WOW, it's not a CHEW-WOW! Our chef and master chocolatier, Michael Antonorsi, left a tech career in Venezuela in his 30s to chase his passion for food all the way to culinary school in Paris. Today we handmake our chocolate in small batches at our Carlsbad, CA joy factory, using recipes in a kitchen, not formulas in a lab, and we've won 8 sofi awards along the way.
Ingredients: PREMIUM 60% DARK CHOCOLATE (CACAO*, CANE SUGAR*, CACAO BUTTER*, SUNFLOWER LECITHIN [AS AN EMULSIFIER], NATURAL VANILLA), POPPING CANDY (SUGAR, MALTOSE, CARBON DIOXIDE), CHIPOTLE CHILE, PASILLA CHILE, SEA SALT.
Common Questions
What's a good dark chocolate bar with chile in it?
Our Firecracker bar is a 60% dark chocolate bar made with two chiles, chipotle and pasilla, along with sea salt and popping candy. Chile and chocolate have gone together in Mexican cooking for centuries, and the chile you choose shapes the bar. Chipotle is a smoked, dried jalapeño with smoky warmth, while pasilla is a dried chilaca with a milder, earthy, raisin-like depth. The cacao percentage matters too. At 60%, the dark chocolate keeps some sweetness to balance the heat, and the sea salt sharpens the flavors. Our house motto is that if it's not a wow, it's not a CHEW-WOW, and this bar is our wild side of chocolate.
What's a fun, unusual chocolate bar to give as a gift or stocking stuffer?
Our Firecracker bar is one shoppers often buy as a gift or stocking stuffer, and plenty of people grab one on impulse too. A good stocking chocolate is small, easy to tuck in and gets a reaction when it's opened. This one is a single 2.8 oz (80 g) bar of dark chocolate with chipotle, sea salt and popping candy. Families tell us they break it up and share it together. It's part of our Signature Collection from Chuao Chocolatier. We opened in 2002, we handmake our chocolate in small batches at our Carlsbad, California 'joy factory', and we've won 8 sofi awards.
Is there a dark chocolate bar that is both fair trade and kosher?
Yes. Our Firecracker dark chocolate bar is Fair Trade certified and kosher. At Chuao we work only with fair trade farms that provide fair working conditions, compensation, education and healthcare to their communities. We also partner only with people who share our interest in quality ingredients, sustainable farming and ethical business. At Chuao, we craft our confections with a proprietary blend of ultra-premium chocolate featuring the flavor profile of Venezuelan cacao.
How spicy is the Firecracker bar?
The Firecracker bar has a real chile kick. Fans say the heat, the sea salt and the pop balance out with just enough spice. Heat is personal, though. Some spice-sensitive shoppers find the chiles too intense and feel the burn in their throat, so it suits adventurous eaters and heat lovers best. Plenty of people are a little nervous about spicy plus popping before their first bite, and they tell us they're glad they tried it.
What does the popping candy in the Firecracker bar feel like? Is it like Pop Rocks?
Yes. The popping candy in our Firecracker bar works like Pop Rocks, and a lot of shoppers say it takes them right back to the pop-rock candy they ate as kids. It's made of sugar, maltose and carbon dioxide. The candy traps tiny bubbles of that gas, so as it melts on your tongue it crackles and snaps. Silky dark chocolate, a dash of chipotle and a sprinkling of sea salt come together in a scintillating sizzle until popping candy explodes for the ultimate surprise!
Is the Firecracker bar gluten-free, and does it contain milk, soy or nuts?
We use no gluten ingredients in the Firecracker bar. Its ingredient list contains no milk, soy, wheat, tree nuts or peanuts, and it is free from peanuts and their derivatives. The full ingredients are 60% dark chocolate (cacao, cane sugar, cacao butter, sunflower lecithin as an emulsifier, natural vanilla), popping candy (sugar, maltose, carbon dioxide), chipotle chile, pasilla chile and sea salt. The package states: "May contain almond, hazelnut, pistachio, milk, soy, and wheat."
How should I store the Firecracker bar so it doesn't melt?
Keep the Firecracker bar dry and under 68ºF. Warmth softens dark chocolate and can leave a whitish bloom on the surface. Moisture matters just as much here, because popping candy reacts to damp air and can lose its pop before you get to it.
