Hawaii Chocolate Candies

hawaii-chocolates.jpgPeople think of many things when they think of Hawaiian chocolate. Some call it "ambrosia", which means food for the gods. To others it's comfort food or even an aphrodisiac. For most women it's a necessity, right up there with water and shelter.  

Chocolate, the word itself, is of Mayan origin. Their word "xocotal" meant "bitter water." Back around 1100 BC, the Honduran Mayans used the cacao seeds for many things, mainly as a drink. These cultivation of these seeds is where chocolate comes from.
Hillebrand is given the honor of introducing cacao to Hawaii, specifically Honolulu, back in 1850. In modern times, Hawaii's Big Island is the only place in North America that can grow the cacao used to make Hawaiian Chocolate candy. This probably contributes to the fact that coffee, tea, and cocoa are all made in Hawaii, whereas no other place in the world produces all. This makes cacao Hawaii's leading commercial endeavor.

However, it's very hard to come by in other parts of the world, making it luxury for the rest of us. The Hawaiians have perfected their brands of chocolate by mixing in jellies and macadamia nuts, and many other delicious treats. Kailua Candy Company has been ranked among the top 10 chocolate factories in the US. Their high quality confections are still made by hand after over 20 years in the business. They even offer tours of their factory so you can watch the magic.

So if you're in the mood for chocolate, and who isn't, it's time to go for the good stuff. Hawaiian chocolates come in many shapes and sizes, from dark chocolate macadamia nuts to milk chocolate toffee. You can even find jellied pineapple chocolate in Maui.
