Happy (belated) New Year! I hope everyone’s holiday season was great! It definitely was for Potomac Chocolate. I shipped more chocolate in the last couple months of last year that I’ve ever shipped in a comparable time period. Looking back at 2013, it was all-in-all a pretty great year. Here are some of the highlights […]
My Upala 70% Nib & Salt bar is changing into my new Upala 70% with Salt bar. The main reason for this is because I think that separate nib and salt bars make for a better tasting experience. I think the simplicity of just one added ingredient will allow that ingredient to really shine. Another […]
I recently met one of the people who lives above Seasonal Pantry in DC. She tried my chocolate at the Crafty Bastards festival in October and said that SP may be a good fit for Potomac Chocolate and suggested that I should check them out. Embarassingly, I’ve lost her name, but she was right–it’s a […]

Our Kickstarter project is nearing it’s deadline. The response so far has been amazing! As of the time of this blog entry, we’ve surpassed our goal with 35 people pledging a total of over $2000! Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far! You’re awesome, and we couldn’t be more grateful to you. We’re excited […]
Hi Everyone! By now, you are probably well-versed in what Ben and I are planning to do with our chocolate company. We are really excited about making some fine hand-crafted chocolate that will blow your minds. I know that I considered myself quite the chocolate expert in the past, but that was before I had […]
So, the last post was all about where we’re at and what we’ve been working on so far. As we’re about to reach a huge milestone, actually making our first batch of chocolate, I thought it would be a good idea to share our plan for the future with you. Don’t worry, it won’t be […]
