How It's Made
The Art of Fine Chocolate
Houston Made
Handcrafted in our Houston kitchen with precision, passion, and purpose.
Crafted by Hand
From painting and molding to piping, every piece is meticulously crafted by hand to ensure exceptional quality.
Exceptional Ingredients
We pair the world's finest chocolate with thoughtfully sourced ingredients to create bold, unforgettable flavors.
Artistry in Every Detail
Every bonbon and artisan bar is hand-finished, transforming fine chocolate into an edible work of art.
HOW WE MAKE OUR AWARD WINNING CHOCOLATES
Every bonbon at Cacao & Cardamom is a little masterpiece—crafted by hand, layer by layer. From painting the molds with shimmering colors to filling them with silky ganache and sealing each piece with a satisfying snap, our process blends artistry and technique. Here's a peek behind the scenes at how we turn chocolate into an experience.
For my birthday, I received a box of Cacao and Cardamom chocolates from my cousin, Julia. They are just gorgeous and the packaging is very unique. I have had so much fun trying the different flavors (although they are almost too pretty to eat!). Passion fruit is my favorite so far!
I’m in completely awe with the flavors of the wonderful chocolate this company produces. It’s been a great experience since the discovery of the products to each piece I savour. They arrive perfectly. I’m eating my knafeh bar in small squares… I don’t want it to end!! I need to order more!!
My husband and I have been fortunate enough to have had the delicious experience of sampling the myriad captivating flavors of Cacao & Cardamom Chocolates multiple times. They have been given to us by friends and family, and ordered by ourselves for each other’s birthdays.
But this is the first time we’ve ordered a build-your-own box. We ordered it to celebrate our 8th anniversary, and we took our choices seriously.
Opening it to great fanfare and excitement, we each chose a S’mores for our first bite, and we were immediately in Heaven! That’s when I remembered to take a photo! So there are two pieces missing, but one more S’mores in the box, because James ordered three! We love your chocolates. We think they are the most beautiful, creative, decadent, and DELICIOUS chocolates on the planet. 😍🥰❣️
Roses are red Violets are blue i m excited to have gotten these tems from this sweet shop ohhh its true...Ramadan and Eid blessings..
From Natasha J in NYC
Absolutely gorgeous chocolates and presentation. The flavors are so creative and delicious! And the price is very fair. Will definitely purchase again!
My husband got me these for valentines day. We tried a few today and they were amazing! They arrived in a beautiful box and the chocolates were even more beautiful. The flavors are so interesting and unique. Will definitely order from here again.
We shared the chocolate, trying a couple each night 5 night like a tasting course. Deciding which flavours we liked best. Loved the turtle caramel, s’mores, & blueberry lime. Found some if the combinations interesting, but overall the chocolate was wonderful. Gave it as a grown up gift to a friend. Highly recommend as a special treat for yourself and others.
These chocolates were the perfect gift! All of my gift recipients described them as works of art and too beautiful to eat! Taste was as lovely as the appearance!
This box of chocolates makes me happy cry! It’s so beautifully packaged, and opening the jewelry box designed case that keeps the chocolate, reveals each perfectly made piece.
Thank you!
Wow, I opened the shipping box and what a nice surprise to see each item individually wrapped in a lovely bag. The raspberry pistachio mendiants (1st picture) are delicious. The initial raspberry with a hint of pistachio at the end of each bite is so flavorful. Not to mention the delicate craftsmanship. I'm very impressed and may wind up keeping some of these gifts for myself, lol.
Beautiful packaging! I love the little bags every item comes with. Each item is striking on its own. The business is wonderfully accommodating as well! One of the items arrived damaged and they sent a replacement right away. Not the first or last time I'll other from here. The flavors are inventive and they chocolate is really high quality.
The box arrived beautifully in the gift bag. The selection was amazing! My husband was thrilled as it was for his birthday. I bought for my children as our Thanksgiving present. They loved the chocolates as well. I recommend your chocolates to everyone 😊
Cacao & Cardamom offer a wide variety of artisanal & delectable chocolates from bonbons to confections. They were also featured in the Dandelion 2024 Advent Calendar where we discovered them for the first time. For my girlfriend, who has taken both gourmet cooking & chocolatier classes, I ordered the aptly named Perfect Selection featuring C&C's bonbons from their signature & comfort collections & it is the perfect Valentine's Day or any other holiday or celebratory gift for your one & only!
For Valentine's Day, Jane, who is a trained chef & chocolatier, received the Perfect Collection from Cacao & Cardamom Chocolatier featured in the 2024 Dandelion Advent Calendar. In spite of the Fedex damage which caused 2 of the 4 boxes to separate from the inner walls of the container, the bonbons arrived intact. Jane was so overwhelmed by the artistic colors of the bonbons that she had to sample a couple of them before she took a photograph documenting the damage. Not to worry, this selection is aptly named because it contains & features their scrumptious bonbons from both the Signature & Classic Comforts Collections. So far she has enjoyed Cashew Cinnamon, Maple Pecan & S'Mores...so many exquisite bonbons, so little time. If your significant other won't order Cacao & Cardamom chocolates for you then order them for yourself. Life is too short not to enjoy the fruits of the gods & mana from heaven & you deserve the best.
Love love love! Perfect gift for a loved one or yourself! The flavors are so creative and work together. The colors are so vibrant and beautiful. Kudos to insane craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Each one is a work of art!! What an experience💓 I don't believe I've had so much fun eating anything in years!
Each layer has distinct designs and different flavors that overwhelm your taste buds in the greatest way ever!
Got my order and it came so quick! Everything is a piece of artwork and almost too pretty to eat! Such unique designs and flavors too. I definitely plan on ordering more in the future! Thank you 😊
These were a gift for ny daughter-in-law and she has raved to everyone about them. I’m definitely going to buy them for decor at Thanksgiving this year!
They are indeed, the perfect selection. I am blown away by how pretty they are, and the taste!!! I will get these again when my budget allows...they are unforgettable,
Whole box is empty😢 I am very picky about my chocolate and this is not ordinary chocolate. The selection is beautiful and delicious. I will be ordering again for myself and friends!
The recipient was thrilled with her gift! We were speaking on the phone when her order arrived. I asked her to open it and away she went. She explained how beautiful the gold wrapping was, how the box looked like a jewelry box, and then she gasped as she opened it. She told me how gorgeous the chocolate was, like fine artwork and no two the same. Then she sent me this picture.
Just came home today and immediately opened your Christmas gift! I can’t believe how beautiful it is! The presentation is gorgeous and each individual piece is so artistically decorated that I don’t want to eat it as it will then be gone. What to do! Thank you so very much. Next text I will report on what I’m sure will be exquisite taste.
Oh, I just ate the guava tamarind one! Absolute fruity melt-in-the-mouth fantastic goodness! To die for…
Absolutely, hands down the BEST chocolate we've ever experienced. 110% recommend and already placed another order!!! Thank you for the super fast delivery (they were here by Christmas as promised) and the quality of packaging.

Why The Perfect Selection Stands Out – What separates this chocolate selection box from anything you'd find at a grocery store or big-box retailer is the depth of craft behind every single piece. Cacao & Cardamom chocolates are made using traditional techniques – hand-painting the molds, layering ganaches and pralines, and finishing each bonbon by hand. No shortcuts, no stabilizers, no mass production. Just a team of passionate chocolatiers in Houston who treat every batch like it matters, because it does.
