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 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.
