For the Heart of Darkness chocolate from Marou Faiseurs De Chocolat, X marks the spot. This gorgeous bar of chocolate, which pairs up perfectly with Treasure Island chocolate, feels like a mysterious journey as you look at its map-inspired label. Rice Creative’s design is thorough and exciting, using inspiration from the location where these single origin chocolate bars are made.

“Tan Phu Dong, a tropical river island in Southern Vietnam, is the origin of some of the most precious cacao on the planet. Marou Faiseurs De Chocolat have discovered the rare and fleeting supply, making two new and perpetually limited Chocolate bars from it. First came ‘Treasure Island,’ a popular 75% cacao bar. Going a bit darker and maintaining the literary titling, Marou created ‘Heart of Darkness,’ the 85% cacao version.”

“Complete with an introduction written by celebrated author, Lawrence Osbourne, the ‘Heart of Darkness’ package gives one a deeper, darker view of its predecessor. The terrain of the old topographical map is laid down on heavy black paper in a specially mixed silver and black screen printing ink. A hidden golden bat, a Vietnamese symbol of prosperity, hangs auspiciously in the folds of the wrapper. The chocolate has gone on to become ‘World Champion’ at the International Chocolate Awards in 2015. We sincerely hope you can catch one for yourself.”
