Only 5 Days Left on Kickstarter: The Odyssey & The Time Machine Chocolate Bars! 📖🍫💖

Sep 17, 2026

Today, with 5 days left until the end of our 2026 Kickstarter campaign, we’re 149% funded, 49% over our initial goal. If you’re one of our 160 backers and/or have shared our campaign on social media, we truly can’t thank you enough! 📖🍫💖

If you haven’t backed our 2026 Kickstarter campaign yet, here are five (5) reasons to consider doing so:

Rewards for this Kickstarter campaign include all nineteen (19) of our current flavors (including The Odyssey and The Time Machine), so you can get any combination of flavors you’d like.
Our Kickstarter is a great way to essentially preorder our chocolate bars and reserve flavors before they sell out.
Get early access to our new-and-improved “Read Books, Eat Chocolate” pouches as well as our brand-new bandanas. Both are available as add-ons for all reward tiers.
For our past five Kickstarter campaigns, we were able to send out backer rewards well before December 25th. We have the same goal this year!
You’ll be helping to support and grow a woman-owned, small business. We couldn’t do what we do without you!

Kickstarter 2027: HINTS for Two New, Top-Secret Flavors!

We’re already busy working on two new flavors for our 2027 Kickstarter campaign. Can you guess which two titles these future flavors could be? I’ve devised ten (10) clues to help you guess...

Hints for Our Two New, Top-Secret Chocolate Bar Flavors, Debuting in 2027:

Two novels that customers frequently request we adapt into chocolate bars.
Two authors we’ve never made chocolate bars of their work before.
One American and one Irish author.
One female and one male author.
One novel has a female protagonist.
One novel has no main protagonist, and is told via multiple points of view.
Both novels were published before the year 1900.
One novel is semi-autobiographical.
One novel is epistolary.
Both novels have been adapted to stage and screen numerous times.

Please comment below with your best guesses!

*A Girl Reading* (circa 1830s) by Berndt Godenhjelm.
