I'm in trouble now! I am completely hooked on the fine chocolate that comes from using just three simple ingredients: roasted cocoa beans, sugar and cocoa butter. This is not like a Hershey Bar that you consume all at once. Just put a single square on your tongue, let it melt there, and enjoy. Depending on where owners Jim and Maureen source the beans from, each bar will have a different taste to it. Though the chocolate may seem expensive at first glance, know that you are paying for quality.
If you sign up for their emails, you'll find great events such as their Open House, where they allowed guests to sample a wide variety of chocolates, and give input, rate the types etc. Based on the results from those surveys, Zak's has purchased cocoa beans from the winning chocolate's country (Nicaragua) and will soon be producing another type of delicious chocolate from it. How cool is that to be involved in the process?!
If you don't know much about small batch chocolate, come for the $10 tour. Even better, take the $75 chocolate making class like my husband and I took our two boys to. (Note: They are 12 and 15 yrs old. I don't think it's meant for younger kids)
So now my whole family makes the trek out from Mesa to enjoy this delicious chocolate! Come check it out.
