Trafton’s True Gourmet Chocolate
From the beginning Nancy and I made it our goal to provide the finest, most upscale chocolate possible at a price you could afford. We knew we could create a “recipe” for our candies to rival the finest European chocolates by blending European quality secrets and American know-how.

The dark and milk chocolate are made from fine, high-flavor cocoa beans. We use a blended chocolate made from the following three cocoa beans. Each bean has been chosen to compliment the other two, and assure a uniform flavor and quality from year to year.

• The Criollo bean, known as the prince of cocoas, is a rare and prized variety that is “royal” in its richness. The Criollo, selected for its rich and creamy texture has a thin skin and is lightly colored.

• The Forastero, which is a more plentiful bean, has a thicker skin and delivers a pungent, tantalizing aroma.

• The Trinitario bean, the most abundant, is a natural cross between several types of beans that brings forth a rich taste and aroma.

The result is our own recipe blended to create a rich, tantalizing chocolate that meets our high standards for quality and taste. Trafton’s Chocolates provides consistently superior color, aroma and quality. You can depend on it.

Fresh Premium Fillings
Like our chocolate, Trafton’s fillings must stand the test for superior flavor. In the formulation of our fillings, we use a combination of the freshest local and premium European ingredients. Ingredients that are rarely found in any quantity in mass-produced, machine-made candy.

All of our candies are hand made and hand-decorated, thus explaining the slight differences in each piece and giving our candy that sought-after look of an original creation!

Healthy Dark Chocolate
When you want to indulge in the healthiest chocolate, choose Trafton’s darkest, richest chocolate, made with top quality cocoa butter.

Dark chocolate is one of the world's oldest (3,000 years) and perhaps healthiest foods. Research shows that dark chocolate can contribute to your health in a variety of ways:

• Antioxidants called flavonoids guard against heart disease and aging

• Chocolate triggers serotonin and endorphins that enhance feelings of well-being

• Minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc contribute to healthy growth and metabolism.

With Americans more focused on healthy eating habits, more research is being done on the benefits of dark chocolate. For more information, please click here for the Scientific Scoop on Dark Chocolate.
