Handmade

These hands are doing something very special.

They are wrapping a handcrafted item.

Here it is just inside the box before the lid is put on and sealed.

It started out at the very beginning looking like this.

Those bits were put into the roaster shown here.

We watched the making of these things through glass windows.

Here are the samples they were encouraging visitors to taste.

Have you figured it out yet? It’s Raleigh’s newest “bean to bar” chocolate factory. When my husband insisted we go and check them out, they had only been open three days.

What a treat both literally and figuratively.

The boxes are pretty with each type of chocolate bar represented with a different color combination.

I love the fact that they put a little nod to our state on the front of every box.

Now you can see we are sort of back where we began. With a handmade, hand wrapped, hand packed dark chocolate bar.

The tag line on each box reads “from bean to bar to bliss”. I’ll agree with that.

  1. What a wonderful present. I think it would be too much of a temptation if that factory- shop was near to me. The chocolate looks luscious.

  2. Ha, Jack was all set to say 'Those hands can't be doing anything that special because I don't see any chocolate' when there it appeared below, phew!

  3. How is it that you're surrounded by all of the most amazing chocolate shops? I'm beginning to think that you live in some magical world that exists parallel to ours, but not actually in it.

  5. For someone who loves chocolate as much as I do, it would be a dream to go to a chocolate factory. Lucky You.
