Sweet, but not too sweet, with a little tartness from the rhubarb and a hint of lemon juice. It appears you can find them at some farmer's markets and local stores like R2GO and Goose. I can't wait to try some more of their products!

I purchased a small jar of banana butter at the Yelp Bazaar as a Christmas present for my 10 year…read moreold son. He is a huge fan of local products,apple butter, and bananas. So, I thought I would take a chance on something a little different. Big hit! Huge! He likes to keep it simple, just a spread on a piece of whole wheat toast. But, he did mention that it would probably taste wonderful on pancakes. I think we'll give that a try. I see more banana butter in our future. Who knows what other flavors he'll want to try next!

I was looking to place a large order for a work event so I reached out to a few local vendors in…read moreearly January. I needed 40 boxes of 6 piece truffles the week before Valentine's Day. Newfangled was amazing! They responded to my initial inquiry within a few hours. Quick replies really go a long way in my world! They sent an invoice, confirmed my pick up date, and just like that I was on to my next to-do. The chocolates were incredible and truly like little pieces of art! They were also much bigger than I was anticipating but no one is going to be sad about MORE chocolate. My only feedback is that I didn't ask each truffle flavor to be placed in the same placement of each box. This was for a chocolate and wine pairing so that made it a bit trickier because they were mixed throughout. Thankfully, we decided to plate the truffles so it all worked out. I'll definitely use Newfangled again in the future!

You've probably seen them around town…read more They're the ones with the cute cardboard packaging, stuffed with drool-inducing goodies such as Frittle (bite size peanuty bites) and pralines. You can buy them all around town too. Most recently, I've spotted a full Frittle display in my local Kroger and purchased a few pralines from Yats on Mass Ave. They're beginning to sweep the country as well, so be sure to be on the lookout! The owner is sweet, and the combination of her ambition and the deliciousness of the product really have be sold on being a lifelong fan.

In general, I know mistakes happen so I had messaged customer service with picture of the peanut butter and their expiration date. They replied at first, but after it was just crickets. I emailed them back following up and they said they would send me new ones. It's been over a week and still no new ones. Overall, the peanut butter is great, but the customer service needs some improvement.

A true superfood with such high antioxidant count and it leaves your body feeling blissful after eating it. This is a true showcase of just how wonderful true chocolate is capable of being.

Cute store, tucked away off the main road. It's very tiny with a few displays of very fancy and…read morepretty looking chocolate. It's pricey so I was unsure about spending so much on chocolate I've never heard reviews about. I'd like to go back and try some of the signature sweets though. I did get an 88% chocolate bar hoping it was like the high percentage bars I used to get in Japan, it was not. The chocolate melts very slowly, you almost have to force it with pressure since the heat in your mouth doesn't seem to trigger it. It has a nice faint sweetness at the front of your tongue but once it hits the back all you sense it overwhelming bitter and an almost sour feeling. The aftertaste is pleasant though. Yes, I know it's supposed to be bitter but I've had others that were distinct but not overpowering in bitterness. I'll continue my search for the elusive high percentage chocolate bars like I've had in the past.

They report using fair trade ingredients and that they donate 10% to conservation-oriented causes. The chocolate is delicious, and I can better enjoy my chocolate knowing they're trying to support treating farmers and the environment properly. The raspberry and mint are some of my favorite flavors, but honestly, they're all great! I usually get my bars at Market District, but I've seen them in other stores as well and know they're available online too.

I guess I should've known that when I got the sandwich of the day at Wildwood Market in Fountain Square and I got a complementary chocolate square that it had to be local. So imagine my surprise when I pick up a dark chocolate bar at a food co-op in northern Michigan and I'm enjoying it after dinner and think, "where is this made?" and I find out 73rd Street in Indianapolis?!?! I've had the dark chocolate w/ sea salt and almonds as well as a 70% cacao dark chocolate bar. I thoroughly enjoyed both! They're vegan, gluten free, non GMO certified and a fair trade product. Cool to see them sold all around!
