Shawn Askinosie’s daughter Lawren wondered if her dad might have lost his mind when he quit law to take up craft chocolate. But she worked alongside him, and helped him build one of the first fair trade chocolate companies in the country.

Explore Askinosie’s extensive range of award winning bars, and creative collabs with artisans like Jeni’s Ice Cream and American Spoon.
