We’re excited to welcome Nkwa Chocolate into the Soul and Story family — a small-batch Ghanaian chocolate maker whose work reflects deep cultural roots, ethical sourcing, and the richness of West African flavor traditions. Every bar is crafted with care, using responsibly grown cocoa and ingredients that honor Ghana’s culinary heritage.
Each bar is 50g, thoughtfully crafted, and full of character.
A Small Note
Because these bars are handmade and traveled all the way from Ghana, some packages have a few little bends or bumps from their journey. Nothing major — just the kind of character that happens when real people (not machines) wrap chocolate with care.
To celebrate their arrival, we’re offering a special introductory rate on this first batch. The chocolate inside is perfect, delicious, and full of soul — the packaging just has a few travel stories to tell.
Flavor Collection
Dawadawa Milk Chocolate – 50g
Ingredients: Cocoa Beans, Milk, Sugar, Dawadawa, Cocoa Butter
A smooth, creamy milk chocolate infused with dawadawa—a traditional West African seasoning made from fermented locust beans. Often used to enrich soups and stews, dawadawa brings a naturally savory depth and gentle umami that beautifully complements the sweetness of milk chocolate.
Expect a uniquely Ghanaian flavor profile: warm, earthy, lightly tangy, and perfectly balanced.
Kube Toffee Milk Chocolate with Caramelized Coconut – 50g
Ingredients: Cocoa Butter, Sugar, Cocoa Beans, Milk Solids, Caramelized Coconut
“Kube” means coconut in many Ghanaian languages, and this bar celebrates it with rich caramelized coconut folded into silky milk chocolate. The result is nostalgic and comforting — buttery, toasty, lightly crunchy — a flavor reminiscent of classic coconut toffees enjoyed across Ghana.
40% Milk Chocolate – 50g
Ingredients: Cocoa Beans, Sugar, Cocoa Butter
A classic, beautifully balanced milk chocolate with a gentle sweetness and a smooth, velvety finish. With a 40% cocoa content, this bar highlights the bright, fruity notes of Ghanaian cocoa while remaining wonderfully creamy. A perfect everyday chocolate for those who prefer subtlety over intensity.
Yooyi & Ginger Fruit-Infused Chocolate – 50g
Ingredients: Cocoa Butter, Tigernut Powder, Sugar, Cocoa Beans, Ginger, Velvet Tamarind (Yooyi)
This vibrant bar blends the zing of ginger with the tart-sweet brightness of velvet tamarind, known locally as yooyi. Tigernut powder adds natural creaminess and a hint of nuttiness. Together, these traditional West African ingredients create a lively, layered chocolate with citrusy sparks, gentle spice, and a smooth finish.
A joyful expression of Ghana’s fruit-forward flavors.
80% Dark Chocolate – 50g
Ingredients: Cocoa Beans, Sugar, Cocoa Butter
Rich, bold, and beautifully pure. With only three ingredients, this 80% dark bar highlights the true character of Ghanaian cocoa — deep, robust, slightly fruity, and pleasantly bitter without harshness. A sophisticated choice for dark chocolate lovers and those seeking a clean, high-cocoa experience.
Lemonade Bar – 50g
Ingredients: Information coming soon!
Bright, tangy, and refreshing — Nkwa’s Lemonade Bar is a zesty twist on chocolate you won’t want to miss. Coming soon! Stay tuned for the first batch to arrive, and be among the first to taste this sunny, citrus-forward treat.
