PLEASE NOTE: All our products are currently set as PRE-ORDERS. That means you can place your order immediately, and (while we may not be able to fulfill your order immediately) we will fulfill it as soon as possible. Currently, we’re extremely busy fulfilling Kickstarter backer rewards (which entails over 1,000 chocolate bars), which we hope to complete before the end of October 2026. We fill orders to our online store chronologically (starting from the earliest/oldest orders). Pre-orders are a way for you to reserve chocolate bar flavors and products before they sell out. Again, we will try to fulfill orders as soon as possible. If your order is time sensitive, please leave us a note on your order with further information! If you have any questions, please email Geri at OpenBookChocolates@email.com. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Our The Count of Monte Cristo chocolate bar is inspired by the origins of the Monte Cristo treasure as well as a scene on the island of Monte Cristo. In prison, Abbé Faria tells Edmond Dantès of Cardinal Cesare Spada, who was poisoned by the greedy Borgia pope and his son. To prevent the Borgias from seizing his fortune, Spada hides it on Monte Cristo. Even so, Spada dines with the Borgias, succumbing to their “lethal mushrooms.” Fear not: Porcini mushrooms are not poisonous. But they are Italian like the Borgias. After Dantès discovers Spada’s treasure and becomes the Count, he disguises himself as Sinbad the Sailor. Sinbad dines with Franz on Monte Cristo, surrounded by statues carrying baskets of exotic fruit, including peaches.
