American Heritage Finely Grated Baking Chocolate for History Lovers — Last call
Updated September 28: We never put things on sale unless we're closing them out, and that's the case for our delicious American Heritage baking chocolate and cocoa.
We're not going to carry these this year at Christmas, and because the "expiration date" kind of snuck up on us—it's 10/3/24 for the baking chocolate— we've reduced the price by $5. We have four packs left, so they'll go quickly.
— Lee Wright | Founder
American Heritage Chocolate is a dark chocolate inspired by chocolate recipes from Hannah Glass, John Nott, and others from the 18th century.
It is made in small batches and contains a blend of spices and ingredients from the 18th century such as cinnamon, nutmeg, red pepper, anise, and the warmth of vanilla to the tang of orange.
This provides a creamy yet spicy taste experience that is literally unlike anything you’ve ever tried before.
12 Oz.

Timing
We try to ship orders within three business days of receiving them. This applies to in-stock items. Framed items or items requiring personalization may take up to two weeks longer. If there is an extended delay, it will be noted on the product page.
We close for a week over Independence Day and Christmas. A notice will appear at the top of every page of the site in advance of this closure.
We ship most orders via USPS, so if the post office is closed, we won't be shipping orders that day.
If you need to receive your order by a certain date, such as to give as a gift or have for a trip, we recommend ordering at least two weeks in advance, especially if you are using USPS shipping.
If you're looking for reliable, on-time deliveries, we strongly suggest upgrading to "UPS 3 Business Day Select Shipping."

- If an item is out of stock, we will contact you.
- If one of your items is an advance order, that will be noted on the product page along with an estimate of when it will ship. If that estimated date changes, the product page will be updated.

A true step back in time. A taste not familiar to modern day chocolate fans but one that once appreciated brings full acknowledgment of the craftsmanship of the times. Delicious. Pair it with a whiskey, or a coffee, for full enjoyment 🇺🇲
I remember seeing these chocolates at Colonial Williamsburg- so happy to find these here! I also appreciated the gift bag and sticker. Great gift for any history fan.
Loved the American Heritage chocolates I purchased for Valentine’s Day. What a unique gift for my history loving husband and my 3 boys who need to love it more!
I got this in the red and green bags. It is great for gift giving. Also, the chocolate is very good. I am well pleased with it.
I gave this to my daughter on Valentines Day and she absolutely LOVED it. Her Ben Franklin sticker is now on her car. She is a History Nerd! Great idea
Loved the chocolates, the bag, the products and the customer service.
These were a perfect gift for my wife. I must admit to having one or two myself. The flavor of dark chocolate with a hint of orange and a slight bit of lingering spice made this a huge hit!
I ordered this nice little package for my husband, but he got it early so he could share with my grandson. It came quickly, was beautifully packaged, and the candy is made here in America. What more could one ask for? Thanks for this lovely offering! So what's up for next year??
