As we head into the final stretch before the holidays, I thought it would be fun to share something a little more personal: the treats our team can’t stop snacking on. DWN Chocolate is more than a one-woman show and behind every chocolate bar, tumble and salted caramel is an incredible group of women who craft, package and cheer on every product we create. So I asked them which DWN product is their ultimate favourite treat and here are their top picks. Starting off with everyone's favourite customer service representative is Jaz (aka my mom) who prefers any combination of nuts + chocolate. Jaz' choice is the caramelized milk chocolate macadamia nuts. Both the macadamia nuts and the milk powder in...

For the last two weeks, I have been receiving almost daily alerts from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency regarding pistachio products being recalled due to salmonella.
