Experience a controlled combustion of flavors with our Spicy Cayenne chocolate bar. Our co-founder and master chef Alak Vasa has expertly combined the heat of cayenne pepper with the earthy spice of cinnamon to create a truly unforgettable taste sensation.
This energizing bar is perfect for anyone looking for a mid-day pick-me-up that packs a punch. We use raw honey to balance out the fiery heat of the pepper, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable taste experience with every bite.
Just roll it on your palate and experience the layering of flavors – sequentially coming through one after the other.
Handcrafted in small batch from 75% dark chocolate, this indulgent Spicy Cayenne bar contains only 2g of sugar per serving, derived from locally sourced raw honey. Yum!
Of course, like everything else from Elements, Spicy Cayenne bar is free from dairy, refined sugar, soy, lecithin, sugar alcohols, natural flavors, gluten or absolutely anything artificial. Think of it as a treat made from two core ingredients: Organic Cacao and Raw Honey - the only sweetener! Cinnamon and Pure Essential Oils are added for functional benefits and multi layered taste that lingers on. You have to try this one to experience the magic!

Small Batch
Our products are raw and organic. They are free from dairy, refined sugar, soy, preservatives, gluten, palm oil, GMO and artificial anything.
We do micro-batches and our additive-free chocolates are a blend of ethically sourced cacao and herbs inspired by Ayurveda - an ancient science of healing. Everything we use is free from dairy, refined sugar, soy, emulsifiers and anything artificial. These are handmade in the US and sweetened with locally sourced raw honey.
Raw Honey
Raw honey is best described as honey “as it exists in the beehive”. It is made by extracting honey from the honeycombs of the hive and pouring it over a mesh or nylon cloth to separate the honey from impurities like beeswax and dead bees. Once strained, raw honey is bottled and ready to be enjoyed.
Organic Cacao Butter
Cacao Butter is the pure, cold-pressed oil from organic and Fairtrade certified cacao beans. It is solid at room temperature and smells richly of chocolate!
Organic Cacao Paste
Cacao paste is made from deeply flavorful, heirloom variety cacao beans. The cacao pods are hand-selected for quality beans, which are sun-dried then lightly fermented to bring out the rich, aromatic flavor.
Essential Oils
An essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile (easily evaporated at normal temperatures) chemical compounds from plants. Essential oils are also known as volatile oils, ethereal oils, aetheroleum, or simply as the oil of the plant from which they were extracted, such as oil of clove.
Organic Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a spice that is made from the inner bark of trees scientifically known as Cinnamomum. It has been used as an ingredient throughout history, dating back as far as Ancient Egypt. It used to be rare and valuable and was regarded as a gift fit for kings.

Absolutely! In fact it’s one of the most popular uses of our chocolates because the ingredients are the healthiest around!
All of the core ingredients in our products are Certified USDA Organic. Except locally sourced honey. Hard truth is that honey made in the USA can’t be certified organic. When faced with the choice between using cheaper certified organic honey produced in Brazil/Mexico or sourcing local honey and giving up the organic certification on our chocolate, we chose the latter. We believe that sustainability is beyond labels.
While all our products are free from dairy, we use honey as a sweetener in our chocolate bars. We call them ‘bee’gan! Our Drinking Chocolate Mix, Coco Fuel (Maple glazed cacao nibs), Ayurveda Shakti Bars and Chai-Spiced Protein Powder are all vegan.
Yes. We periodically sample our products for heavy metals, and they are certified safe from heavy metals.
Yes, and we have become pretty good at it too! Your products are shipped by 2-Day Fedex or 1-Day UPS/Fedex depending on how far you are from us and how hot it is where you are. All our shipments come with thermal insulation and ice-packs.
Never! Ayurveda recommends not heating honey ever. Our entire manufacturing process uses no flame or concentrated heat. Our honey is gently warmed overnight below 104F in a water jacketed vessel.
Our cacao is unroasted. We never expose it to high temperatures. A natural fermentation process does occur in the open though.
Generally we ship it within 1-2 business days. If you place an order on Friday, we’ll ship it following Monday to avoid the packages sitting on a tarmac with carriers.
Yes you can specify during the checkout process. Can’t find it? No worries. Just drop us a note on orders@elementstruffles.com with the order number and your gift note. We’ll take care of it right away.
Our products contain almonds and coconut. Besides these, there are no nuts in the kitchen. While we thoroughly clean our equipment between each batch, if you are allergic, we’d request you to steer clear.
These are made in our own commercial kitchen space located in Union City, NJ.
We are deeply committed to fair-trade, transparent and ethical sourcing. Our cacao is sourced from small farms and co-ops in Ecuador. Our honey comes from a local apiary in central New Jersey. Rest of the ingredients are sourced from the best possible sources. Lavender comes from south of France, turmeric comes from India, sea salt comes from Greece and so on.
Yes, we only use edible essential oils.
Half a bar contains about 5 grams of sugar. The sugar comes from honey. We don’t use any refined or cane sugars/stevia/erythritol or other processed sweeteners.
Our products do not require any refrigeration. Please store them in a dry cool place at room temperature.
Our Classic Collection has a shelf life of 6 months. The Rasa collection has a shelf life of 9 months. Ayurveda Shakti Bars have a shelf life of 8 months and all the powders have a shelf life of 18 months.
