If you like your cocoa with a side of education, this Dominican chocolate boutique is the perfect classroom for you. It specializes in single-origin cacao bars and products, and one of its bestsellers is a sippable version of Kahkow’s luscious chocolate-macadamia spread. Its fruity, 70 percent organic dark chocolate melds with the smoothed-out buttery nut to form the base, then gets sprinkled with cacao powder for extra depth.
