Classic milk chocolate, with a little more to discover.

Sted’s 45% Classic Milk Chocolate Mini is rich, creamy, and reassuringly familiar, with subtle malt and caramel notes that unfold as it melts. Made with cacao beans and cocoa butter sourced from Rizek Cacao in the Dominican Republic, it’s a simple recipe that lets the chocolate speak for itself.

Crafted from bean to bar in small batches in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, this milk chocolate develops its naturally occurring malt and caramel character through Sted’s bean-to-bar process. There’s no added malt or caramel in the recipe, just four organic ingredients brought together in a smooth, balanced bar for a quiet moment or a little gift.
