The Original HipHopChocolates

I have been learning by working in the candy industry for nearly 10 years now. Teaching myself to make molds, temper chocolate and vet supplies and resources to bring my designs to life.  My intention has been to bring my unique contribution to hip hop culture into the world.  The journey hasn’t been a smooth one, but has been lovely none the less.   I am finally ready to exit the “underground” and I need your assistance to keep this dream alive! 

Hip Hop Culture is arguably the most amazing culture earth has given birth to!  After a short 40years in existence it now informs and inspires popular culture on a global level!  Chocolate truly is a reflection of the smooth, sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet nature of hip hop and its people.  Not to mention the parallels between the journey of the sacred cocoa bean to bar throughout history and the Hip Hop Cultures journey from obscurity to commodity world wide.   Hip Hop Chocolates represent the most delicious aspects of a culture still emerging into maturity! 

I learned this year that there are many many large distribution outlets interested in offering my product on their Platform!   (KITSON, Urban Outfitters to name a few!) What they all wanted to see was an big improvement in the packaging and branding. 

  I am raising money to finance this next level of packaging, marketing, production costs of supplies and to cover the cost of renting a commercial kitchen to accommodate our expanding operation.  I will also be using the funds to produce a small batch of Raw/Organic turntable chocolates. Featuring special recipes containing specific super foods to enhance peak performance for artists, intellectuals and athletes in the culture. Offering Healthy candy options to the culture!

“Hip Hop Chocolate isn’t just a Candy brand, its a way of interacting with the culture and taking full responsibility for what you contribute.”
