Chocolate & The Olympics
Posted by: | CommentsClosing ceremonies of the Winter Olympics this evening. And, plenty of people have been finding a need for some Cocopotamus chocolate to go with their Olympic viewing.
For those disgruntled hockey fans? “Blame Canada”, our dark chocolate fudge truffles made with pure maple. Perfect choice these days!
Then there are the ever popular Cocopotamus organic lemon dark chocolate fudge truffle, “Lemon Shiver” (for when life gave your team lemons…). Or the dark chocolate classic, “Cupcake” (as cute as certain all-American downhill skiers).
And of course, if you need a little last-minute Olympic help, there is always our “CocoLuck”! Kiss Blarney, Santa’s Addiction, and Sumos Never Sleep – our luckiest combo ever.

Get Yer Irish On – Chocolate for St. Paddy’s Day!
Posted by: | CommentsAre you feeling lucky?
You will be, with our fun Cocopotamus dark chocolate fudge truffles called CocoLuck. Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, we are featuring a seasonal special chocolate set. Handmade chocolate, of course. Hand-dipped chocolate, of course. Yum!
Our “green” chocolate for St. Paddy’s Day includes these flavors of dark chocolate fudge: Sumos Never Sleep (Japanese matcha green tea chocolate truffles), Kiss Blarney (pure peppermint + rum chocolate truffles) and Santa’s Addiction (pure peppermint fudge truffles).
A bit about our St. Patrick’s Day chocolate. Why Sumos? Well, they really are GREEN! Made with pure ceremonial grade matcha from Japan, infused into the dark chocolate fudge. And for decoration? They are rolled in matcha sugar.
As for Kiss Blarney, you can’t get more of an Irish vibe then these little cuties. They are even hand painted with shimmering green after we hand dip ‘em! We like to say that they taste like Irish coffee in a chocolate. Actually, Irish coffee is made with Irish whiskey but our fudge truffles are made with rum. I know, Jamaica is not an Irish isle. But man, are these good! Somehow the rum brings more to the party than whiskey.
And now to our final green chocolate, Santa’s Addiction. One taste of these pure peppmerint fudge truffles rolled in peppermint sugar (they look like little snowballs!) and you will be addiciton, too. It is Christmas year-round, Santa Baby!
CocoLuck is available now, a total of 15 fudge truffles (5 each of Sumos Never Sleep, Kiss Blarney, and Santa’s Addcition.)
