Kanda Chocolates

Karen M Blackwell, Kanda Chocolates

Kanda(TM) Chocolates is fair-trade chocolate grown, processed, and packaged entirely in Ghana with 100 % Ghana Cocoa Beans. After tasting chocolate made with Ghanaian cocoa, spent months figuring out where he could find this chocolate in the U.S. It was creamy, chocolate-forward, and much less bitter than traditional dark chocolate.

She did some research and was struck by the need for more single-origin Ghanaian chocolate available within the U.S. While Ghana is the 2nd largest producer of Cocoa in the world, less than 2% of their exports are finished chocolates.

She created Kanda™ Chocolates to bring awareness to the superior quality of the chocolate made in Ghana while making an impact in Ghana. He saw how making chocolate in Ghana could assist with this goal. By making chocolates in Ghana, They can pay fair wages to cocoa farmers while contributing to local jobs and the economy.
