The mix is constantly changing but you might find Fossa Chocolate (and its chili-peanut-praline chocolate) from Singapore, Standout from Sweden (no flavors but its 70% single-origin from India might be his favorite), LetterPress (Los Angeles) made from cacao grown on the Bachelor’s Hall estate in Jamaica, or the chocolate-covered honeycomb from Mirzam Emirati in the United Arab Emirates.</p>
