Impact Just Got A Little Sweeter

New Hot Chocolate + Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Bar

December 5th, 2022 | By Tisha Riman

…And just in time for the holiday season! We’ve paired up with Soul Chocolate to introduce two new menu items: a deliciously creamy Hot Chocolate and a decadent Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Bar. 

Soul Chocolate is a Toronto-based company with a mission to provide high-quality and ethically produced chocolate. Fun fact: Katie and Kyle, the founders of Soul Chocolate, once operated their chocolate-making business out of Impact’s King St. location!

We knew that when we began to develop new chocolate-based menu items, Soul Chocolate would be the perfect partner to work with. Their values align perfectly with Impact Kitchen’s, as they use simple ingredients and minimal processing to allow for the quality to speak for itself. Our joint emphasis on quality pays off; every taste of our new chocolate menu items is complex and flavourful. 

Hot Chocolate

It doesn’t get cozier than a mug of warming hot chocolate throughout the winter season. This hot chocolate is made from 60% organic Dominican chocolate and is served with a choice of almond, oat or dairy milk. 

Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Bar

The ultimate sweet-craving soother, this bar is rich and decadent, without feeling overly sweet. Each bar is made with ethically-sourced 70% organic Dominican chocolate and is topped with just enough sea salt to really bring that chocolate flavour to life. 

Benefits of High-Quality Dark Chocolate

When it comes to selecting chocolate, it’s important to opt for high-quality, ethically-sourced chocolate, where farmers are paid appropriately for growing the cacao beans needed for chocolate production.

And if you need more of a reason to consume more chocolate (as if we need convincing), chocolate actually contains some powerful nutritional benefits. For one, dark chocolate is a high source of antioxidants, particularly polyphenols, flavonols and catechins, that can help to reduce inflammation. 

In fact, the high levels of flavonols in chocolate (combined with stimulating substances like caffeine and theobromine) may also help to improve cognitive function by increasing blood flow to the brain. Not to mention dark chocolate provides a good amount of fibre, and plenty of minerals including magnesium, iron, copper and potassium. 

So which item are you most excited to try?
