Nightswimming was among my first Map bars I tried, the other was Le Chocolat Chaud. You made all your bars so memorable with the special wrappers, the little notes inside, and the flavours!
Eli, you are a rock in the craft chocolate foundation, and I’m so glad your path just keeps unfolding. Maybe we can do a “makers who’ve never seen a cacao tree” pilgrimage someday! I will probably burst into tears.
I have loved how you've always paved your own path.
I also want to live in a world that has craft chocolate. Thanks for all you do to help the makers!
honestly can't believe the comments from that "expert". It was already clear in 2016 that it was 100% bars and unusual flavours/inclusion that were the way to get attention and purchase.
Thank you so much Mackenzie for your very insightful and useful words.. I am definitely needing to take a bit of time to look at my ‘why’ and it is hugely helpful to know I am far from alone in feeling a bit discombobulated about it all!

That will be epic and I'm sure I will break down in tears too; hopefully it's at the end of a long winding river!
absolutely xxoo

Thanks Jen! I keep thinking I should finally delete that guy’s email, but it’s a good reminder about staying on the path we choose.
