From Danielle's vibes and joy to showing her work to the world. I am so proud that you had a chance to work with them in one of our cultural stapples like chocolate and the quality of venezuelan ingredients for it. This made me really happy :)

Amazing video! Thanks so much. My mom (chocolate guru) wants me to post one minor correction...in the tempering machine, it's creating the right cocoa butter crystals, not sugar crystals. Love your videos so much!

I appreciate her supporting small local businesses rather than just going to some large factory. So many local places struggle to stay open so the exposure is amazing.

The black tea with lavender sounds unique and the bar is so pretty. Wish I saw this when it was being sold, I want to try that. A bar with tea and flower type flavoring is interesting. I've never seen bars like that, they're so pretty.
