Markham & Fitz Southern Pecan (Dark Milk) 52%

Markham & Fitz is a legitimate bean-to-bar craft chocolate maker in Bentonville, Arkansas, meaning they roast, grind, conche, and temper every bar themselves in the USA. However, the dominant raw inputs — cacao beans, cocoa butter, and organic cane sugar — are all imported from Nicaragua and other international origins, which is unavoidable in chocolate making since cacao cannot be commercially grown in the continental US. The pecans are the one likely US-grown ingredient. Bean-to-bar chocolate is inherently similar to coffee roasting — meaningful domestic craft production, but primarily imported raw materials.
