PRE-ORDER The Picture of Dorian Gray: Strawberries and Juniper Berries in Dark Chocolate

$12.99

Please Note: We have now opened up sold out flavors to PRE-ORDERS! That means you can pre-order flavors that are not currently in stock. Our friends over at River-Sea Chocolates are busy helping us hand-make as many new chocolate bars as possible. We fill orders chronologically (starting from the earliest/oldest orders). Pre-orders are a way for you to reserve flavors, so you will get first dibs once a new batch of that flavor is ready. Again, we will try to fulfill orders as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Our The Picture of Dorian Gray chocolate bar is inspired by the character Lord Henry Wotton and how he meddles in Dorian’s affairs. Early in the novella, Lord Henry meets Dorian for the first time and requests “…something iced to drink, something with strawberries in it.” Lord Henry then tells the young Adonis, “There is absolutely nothing in the world but youth!” In this way, Lord Henry plants the idea in Dorian’s head that he should remain forever young and his portrait should grow old. Later on, when Lord Henry is informed of Dorian’s engagement to the ill-fated actress Sibyl, he drinks vermouth — here represented by one of its main ingredients, juniper berries. The combination of strawberries and juniper berries represent pivotal moments in Dorian’s tragedy.

2.1-Ounce Chocolate Bar

Ingredients: Cacao Beans, Organic Cane Sugar, Cacao Butter, Strawberries, Juniper Berries.
