Cookies for people who are serious about chocolate. This recipe uses OCHO 100% dark chocolate. Strong, earthy and surprisingly creamy, with no added sugar. The only ingredient in the chocolate is cacao beans from the Solomon Islands. OCHO Chocolate is crafted in Dunedin, New Zealand.
OCHO’s philosophy is that “chocolate is something you can and should feel good about. Craft chocolate is delicious, healthy and sustainable. Good for the growers, makers, and eaters alike.” We agree. Chocolate is a staple in our business and life. But not the mass produced supermarket trash. We love to support chocolate artisans who are ethical and creating chocolate that is good for you. We love anything with a cacao content above 90%, no added sugar or emulsifiers. That’s why OCHO has become our go to.
