A blend of spicy and warm notes of ginger and black pepper makes this the most unique flavor. Sesame seeds add a light crunch and a diminutive but unique nutty flavor profile. Infused with back pepper, garnished with roasted sesame seeds. This flavor is a great pick me up for any time of the day.

Our chocolates are raw and organic. They are free from dairy, refined sugar, soy, preservatives, gluten, palm oil, GMO and artificial anything.
Our micro-batch and additive-free chocolates are a blend of ethically sourced cacao and herbs inspired by Ayurveda - an ancient science of healing. Our chocolates are free from dairy, refined sugar, soy, emulsifiers and anything artificial. These are handmade in the US and sweetened with locally sourced raw honey.
Organic Unroasted Cacao Powder
Our cacao paste is a made from high quality and highly-prized Criollo variety beans, grown in the fertile soils of Peru. Dark, decadent and nutrient-rich, it makes the perfect base for any chocolate based concoction. Our raw cacao paste is a chocolatier's dream!
Raw Honey
Raw honey is best described as honey “as it exists in the beehive”. It is made by extracting honey from the honeycombs of the hive and pouring it over a mesh or nylon cloth to separate the honey from impurities like beeswax and dead bees. Once strained, raw honey is bottled and ready to be enjoyed.
Organic Cacao Butter
Cacao Butter is the pure, cold-pressed oil from organic and Fairtrade certified cacao beans. It is solid at room temperature and smells richly of chocolate!
Essential Oils
An essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile (easily evaporated at normal temperatures) chemical compounds from plants. Essential oils are also known as volatile oils, ethereal oils, aetheroleum, or simply as the oil of the plant from which they were extracted, such as oil of clove.
Organic Black Pepper
Pepper boasts many aromas, textures and flavors. From fiery to herby, black, green and white peppers lend a satisfying heat and bite to any dish.
Ginger
Ginger is a flowering plant that originated in Southeast Asia. It’s among the healthiest (and most delicious) spices on the planet.

Absolutely! In fact it’s one of the most popular uses of our chocolates because the ingredients are the healthiest around!
All of the core ingredients in our products are Certified USDA Organic. Except locally sourced honey. Hard truth is that honey made in the USA can’t be certified organic. When faced with the choice between using cheaper certified organic honey produced in Brazil/Mexico or sourcing local honey and giving up the organic certification on our chocolate, we chose the latter. We believe that sustainability is beyond labels.
While all our products are free from dairy, we use honey as a sweetener in our chocolate bars. We call them ‘bee’gan! Our Drinking Chocolate Mix, Coco Fuel (Maple glazed cacao nibs), Ayurveda Shakti Bars and Chai-Spiced Protein Powder are all vegan.
Yes. We periodically sample our products for heavy metals, and they are certified safe from heavy metals.
Yes, and we have become pretty good at it too! Your products are shipped by 2-Day Fedex or 1-Day UPS/Fedex depending on how far you are from us and how hot it is where you are. All our shipments come with thermal insulation and ice-packs.
Never! Ayurveda recommends not heating honey ever. Our entire manufacturing process uses no flame or concentrated heat. Our honey is gently warmed overnight below 104F in a water jacketed vessel.
Our cacao is unroasted. We never expose it to high temperatures. A natural fermentation process does occur in the open though.
Generally we ship it within 1-2 business days. If you place an order on Friday, we’ll ship it following Monday to avoid the packages sitting on a tarmac with carriers.
Yes you can specify during the checkout process. Can’t find it? No worries. Just drop us a note on orders@elementstruffles.com with the order number and your gift note. We’ll take care of it right away.
Our products contain almonds and coconut. Besides these, there are no nuts in the kitchen. While we thoroughly clean our equipment between each batch, if you are allergic, we’d request you to steer clear.
These are made in our own commercial kitchen space located in Union City, NJ.
We are deeply committed to fair-trade, transparent and ethical sourcing. Our cacao is sourced from small farms and co-ops in Ecuador. Our honey comes from a local apiary in central New Jersey. Rest of the ingredients are sourced from the best possible sources. Lavender comes from south of France, turmeric comes from India, sea salt comes from Greece and so on.
Yes, we only use edible essential oils.
Half a bar contains about 5 grams of sugar. The sugar comes from honey. We don’t use any refined or cane sugars/stevia/erythritol or other processed sweeteners.
Our products do not require any refrigeration. Please store them in a dry cool place at room temperature.
Our Classic Collection has a shelf life of 6 months. The Rasa collection has a shelf life of 9 months. Ayurveda Shakti Bars have a shelf life of 8 months and all the powders have a shelf life of 18 months.
