Hello and good day!

On our latest episode of the Chocolate Bros podcast we discuss supply chain issues and the new products we'll be making available in 2022.

Regarding the supply chain, it is precisely due to supply chain issues that we ran out of 68% dark chocolate recently.

In short, we had a container of cacao arrive at the port of Rotterdam on September 4th.

Normally, it would clear customs and be en route to Switzerland within in one week.

But in this case, our container was lost inside the port facility for 6 weeks!

That had never happened before during our 13+ years in business.

As a result, we are getting a new shipment in the middle of January instead of early December.

It was those exact 6 weeks that caused us to run out of our most popular product during a very busy time of year.

The stuff you are reading about in the news about supply chain problems are TRUE.

Now on to happier news.

We are going to have at least 4 new products online in the early part of 2022.

We just have to figure out how to produce enough and that is our project for the next few weeks.

Here are the products we'll be putting online:

68% Dark Chocolate Covered Salted Almonds

68% Dark Chocolate Covered Dates

68% Dark Chocolate Dipped Smores

Javier's Hot Chocolate Mix

Here is one thing that you will know for certain when buying those products -- they will have been freshly made within that last few days.

We aren't big enough to make and hold a bunch of inventory.

All of these are delicious and we talk about them in detail on the podcast.

Lastly, we came up with a great idea for a Fortunato No. 4 summer product.

Fortunato No. 4 Fudgsicle Mix!

This will come in a variety of flavors and come with molds and popsicle sticks.

Since it needs to be melted down and mixed with water anyhow, we can ship that in the heat!

Lots of good and fun stuff going on.

And as always, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your kind words, support, and business.
