Announcement
New Batch of Frankenstein in Progress!
🥳 We have some wonderful news here at Open Book Chocolates!
As I mentioned in our previous blog post (from October 10th), as we were preparing 2024 Kickstarter rewards, we discovered that we had already sold out of our Frankenstein chocolate bars (Frankenstein Sold Out! Online Store Now Open!). We were very surprised by this, since we made approximately 600 Frankenstein bars, thinking that would be more than enough to get us through the end of the year. But we’re absolutely thrilled that Frankenstein is such a hit with our customers!
We are excited to announce that we are able to make approximately 300 more Frankenstein bars this year!
The new batch of Frankenstein bars should be ready late October or early November. We will be sure to announce when the bars are ready here on our blog! 📖🍫😊
In the meantime, our online store is OPEN!
Currently, we are sold out of The Great Gatsby, but expect it will be back in stock by the end of October. Also, we are very low on Sherlock Holmes and Jolabokaflod (Yule Book Flood), so order them before we sell out!
Introducing Hand-Poured Candles and "Read Books, Eat Chocolate" Pouch
Today, we’re excited to introduce our hand-poured candles and recycled cotton pouches to our online store!
Made in collaboration with the wonderful co-owners of South Ann Street Candle Co., we’re thrilled to introduce our beautiful, fragrant, handmade candles! We’ve designed our three candle “flavors” — The Library, The Chocolate Factory, and The Garden Party — to complement any and all of our literary-inspired chocolate bar flavors.
We discovered South Ann Street Candle Co.’s incredible candles one day while perusing Su Casa Furniture in Fells Point, Baltimore. As we tested each candle, we couldn’t believe our noses! We just knew we had found the right candle company to work with. And we were that much more delighted to learn South Ann Street Candle Co. is a fellow small, Maryland-based, women-owned business. What a perfect fit!
Each candle is 8.5 ounces, hand poured in Maryland, and slow made with soy wax and essential oils.
The Library
Parchment | Leather | Smoke
Our Library candle is inspired by a cozy home study. Imagine a plush and inviting room, walls lined with bookshelves, a welcoming armchair, a glass of wine or cup of tea, all in front of an inviting fireplace. Spend an evening reading a spellbinding novel as our Library candle warms your senses.
The Chocolate Factory
Cocoa Bean | Vanilla | Roasted Chestnut
Our Chocolate Factory candle is inspired by the enchanting fragrances created during the production of our chocolate bars. Step inside our factory and breathe in the mesmerizing aroma of freshly roasted craft chocolate!
The Garden Party
Gardenia | Tuberose | Jasmine
Our Garden Party candle is inspired by scenes from our favorite classics; decadent, alfresco tea parties as attended by Alice; lazy afternoons, sipping iced drinks amongst fragrant blossoms as accustomed to Dorian Gray. Imagine your own literary-inspired gathering, taking inspiration from our well-loved, floral candle.
