Better Chocolate
You’re not alone with your chocolate problem!
Chocolate is delicious. The system behind it isn’t.
We’re fixing it—one ingredient, one maker, one home chocolatier at a time.
What’s the Problem?
The chocolate industry hides a bitter truth:
- 70% of the world's cocoa comes from just two countries, yet less than 5% of the value stays there.
- Supply chains are opaque and exploitative.
- Mass-market bars are packed with sugar, fillers, and greenwashed labels.
We love chocolate. But we believe it’s time to rethink how it’s made, sourced, and shared.
Our Solution
At Home Chocolat, we’re rebuilding chocolate from the inside out:
DIY ingredient kits (CocoaBlox) let people personalize their chocolate—based on taste, nutrition, and values.
The Chocolatier, our smart countertop appliance, brings professional-quality tempering to every kitchen.
Behind it all is a new supply chain—championing regenerative cacao, local makers, and full transparency.
We’re building chocolate 2.0—where joy meets justice.

From CocoaBlox to The Chocolatier, this is how we empower people to create, and choose, better chocolate.
The Chocolate Creation Platform
CocoaBlox are the building blocks of chocolate—think chocolate LEGO. Each kit includes customizable cocoa, sweetener, and milk components, empowering users to craft smooth, delicious chocolate tailored to their taste, health needs, and values.
The Chocolatier is our smart appliance that effortlessly melts and tempers CocoaBlox into silky, ready-to-use chocolate. It delivers professional-level results—without the complexity.
Together, they form a modular, evolving platform that brings chocolate creation into the home while unlocking entirely new possibilities in sourcing, formulation, and consumer engagement.
Why It Matters
- 40% less sugar in our milk chocolate vs. standard bars
- Direct sourcing from makers using agroforestry systems
- We’re helping people learn what’s in their chocolate—and why it matters
- We’re keeping more value in origin countries by sourcing cocoa mass & butter directly - supporting local makers and avoiding the wasteful shipping of cocoa shells.
