Just in time for the cooler weather, the first batch of Ecuadorian 72% Dark Chocolate sweetened with Vermont maple sugar is ready for sampling. We made our first batch and would love some feedback, drop by and sample some. Maple sugar and syrup should be arriving this week.

We plan to begin packaging our Madagascar Vanilla beans and they should be available this week or next through the end of the year. Direct from Madagascar! We can't wait to receive the beans from their latest harvest.

All Chocolates are in stock, with the exception of the Bourbon Dark Chocolate, which should be back in stock on Friday. We just received a new shipment of the Peruvian Puira Blanco so we will continue to have that in stock until, at least, the end of the year. We also received the new Peruvian Chuncho bean. Given the popularity of the current Peruvian bean, we are looking forward to making a batch of the Chuncho. Rumor has it, the Chuncho has a bright orange blossom floral.

Our October class schedule is full. We will have one class in November (Sunday the 8th) and none in December. If you’re interested in the November class, please email us at [email protected].

Mark recently hosted a chocolate making class for the Western Legacy Ambassador program based here in Kittredge and we have made a commitment to be their latest Legacy Partner. You may have met them earlier this year at CanyonFest or earlier at Evergreen Rodeo. We look forward to continuing to work with Paula and her team.

Fall certainly is in the air! Fine chocolates, a Spanish Rioja w**e, and a roaring fire is our idea of a perfect evening!

All chocolates are in stock with the exception of the 88% Alto Beni. A new batch is in the works and will be available on Thursday. Less than a handful of the Matcha Lavender and Bourbon bars are in stock. Come by and grab a bar before they are gone!

We have partnered with a Vermont maple syrup maker to make a new Blue Spruce bar that marries Ecuadorian cacao with their maple sugar to make a new bar available for the holidays. Their maple sugar is 100% wood-fired made the old-fashioned way that honors the traditional, inherent sustainability of maple sugaring. Their maple products are made without pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers of any kind.

In the next few weeks we are introducing the new bar as well as selling their homemade maple sugar and syrup. Yuri says it's the best maple syrup she has ever tasted. Come in this week and sample the new bar.

In addition we are expecting the delivery of a new Peruvian bean this month. The aroma is clear, bright orange blossom floral. Vibrant, straight forward tropical fruits in an elegant chocolate package. We look forward to offering this Peruvian bean in addition to the Piura Blanco that has been so popular.

Finally, we partnered with the Madagascar Vanilla Company to offer the highest quality, fine-quality vanilla beans. The company has been in business overseeing quality grade vanilla and exporting from Madagascar for 4 Generations and over 60 years. We will be offering vacuum packed packages of five beans starting later this month. The quality and freshness is simply amazing. Direct trade and sourced directly from the farmers!

The October 18 class is full. Mark will do one class in November and none in December. For more information please email us at [email protected].

We were honored again this year to provide chocolates for the Resilience1220 fall fundraiser at Evoke 1923. They completely sold out tickets to 75 guests and each of them received a thank-you bar from Blue Spruce.
Drop in and say "hi". We look forward to seeing you!

This year we were blessed to have a few calliopes visit our feeders, but it seems everybody has headed south. Fall is here and trick-or-treat is right around the corner. A chill is in the air. Time to stock up on chocolates!

All varieties of bars are currently in stock. Supply is short on the peppermint and the Peruvian Piura bars, but we have new batches in process to restock those by end of week.

This month our chocolate making class will be on Sunday, October 18th. If you’re interested, please send us an email at Blue [email protected].

Parmalee is having their Fun Run on 10/1 between 1:30-2:20pm. Afterwards, they are hosting the Fall Family Fun Night from 3-6pm. There will be a free Potluck/BBQ, games, face painting, etc. Blue Spruce Chocolates is a sponsor again this year and inviting everyone to come and support the school!

Thanks to all the Montessori kids and their parents that joined us last Saturday for the chocolate making class. It's our third year in a row!

We are so lucky to be a part of this community!

Yesterday we submitted our 70% Dark Bolivian Tranquilidad to the 2026 International Chocolate Awards. We won silver for this bar in the USA regional International Chocolate Awards earlier this year. Come in and sample this award winning bar! And wish us luck. Awards will be announced later this year.

All varieties are in stock including the new Dark Peppermint. In addition, we are working on some new bars for this fall. Recently we were introduced to a Vermont family that has produced THE BEST maple syrup. We are planning to use their maple sugar in one of our bars. Stay tuned for updates.

Seats are available for the October chocolate making classes. Be sure to drop us a line if you want to reserve a seat ([email protected]).

We need your help. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) wants to permit products made with engineered cocoa substitutes (materials produced by microbial fermentation, plant cell culture, enzymatic synthesis, or any comparable technology now known or later developed), to be labeled “chocolate.”

We feel this will only further degrade the quality of chocolate available and undercuts support for those family farmers and coops that produce the quality cacao that we love. If you agree this is a TERRIBLE idea, please read and sign that change.org petition -https://c.org/kNFhh42v5Z.

We are so excited to be one of the sponsors for this year's Canyonfest in Kittredge (Saturday, Sept. 5, 10 am to 5 pm)!!

Please look for one of the Western Legacy Ambassadors (pictured below; consent was given by them) who will be handing out cards for 10% off your purchase in our shop.

Canyonfest will have duck races, sack races (using our cacao bean sacks!), arts and crafts, a fire engine, silent auction, music, etc.

Most flavors are in stock, the only exception is the Buffalo Trace Bourbon bar and a new batch will be on the shelf starting Thursday. The Dark with Peppermint is back in stock and there is a limited selection of the Peruvian Dark in stock.

We recently worked with Warren Tech to freeze-dry some Palisade Peaches. We are working on a peach chocolate bar. We look forward to another bar that incorporates Juniper Berries. We hope to make a selection of bars that reflect Colorado ingredients. Let us know if you have other ideas for Colorado ingredients!!

Our first employee - Eve - has started college. We have an open position that might be perfect for a parent looking for a part time job with a flexible schedule. Experience working with food in a big plus. Reach out to us at [email protected] if you are interested.

We will be at the Indian Hills Craft Fair on September 19. Come visit our booth!

Sept 6 and 13th are currently being scheduled for the chocolate making classes. Please mail us at [email protected] if you’re interested.

We learned last week that we were awarded silver at the 2026 International Chocolate Awards for our 72% Dark Bolivian Tranquilidad!! It's our third year in a row to win an award in this competition! We have bars in stock in both the 72% and the 88%Tranquilidad.

All flavors are in stock with the exception of the coffee bar. A batch is in progress and that will be ready later in the week.

We recently received some samples of dried cacao pulp. Cacao pulp is the juicy part of the cacao pod that surrounds the seeds that we call "cacao beans". It has a sweet, slightly tangy flavor, often compared to tropical fruits like lychee, mango, or pineapple. If you haven't tasted cacao pulp, come in and give it a try.

Peach season is upon us, and there is nothing better than fresh peaches and chocolate! We are working with Warren Tech in Denver to prepare some fresh organic Palisade Peaches that we can marry with our chocolate. Stay tuned for updates.

We have a few seats available for our Sunday, August 23 chocolate making class. Please email us at [email protected].

CanyonFest is back and will be on Saturday, September 5 at the Kittredge Park. We are a sponsor and are really looking forward to it.
