The Intensity You Crave – A Dark Chocolate Bar Experience Like No Other
The Perfect Bar for Dark Chocolate Enthusiasts
Calling all dark chocolate aficionados! Prepare to embark on a journey of pure indulgence with our Atey Ate% bar. This 88% cacao masterpiece is a true testament to our unwavering commitment to crafting chocolate that tantalises the senses and satisfies even the most discerning palates.
Imagine biting into a bar that unleashes a torrent of rich, unadulterated flavours, each note more complex and captivating than the last. This is no ordinary dark chocolate experience – it’s a symphony of taste, texture, and aroma that will leave you craving for more.
The Magic of Unroasted Peruvian Criollo Cacao
At the heart of our Atey Ate% bar lies a rare and prized treasure: the Peruvian Criollo cacao bean. This ancient variety, revered for its exceptional flavour profile, is meticulously sourced from the lush Amazonian rainforest, where it thrives under the nurturing canopy of towering trees.
But what truly sets our Atey Ate% apart is our commitment to preserving the raw, unroasted essence of these precious beans. Unlike many commercial chocolate bars that subject their cacao to high temperatures, we’ve chosen to embrace the bean’s natural complexity by using low temperature artisan chocolate making processes, ensuring that every bite is a celebration of its unadulterated flavour and health-boosting properties.
Unadulterated Flavour of Raw, Unroasted Peruvian Criollo Cacao
As you savour each morsel of our Atey Ate% bar, you’ll be transported to the heart of the Peruvian Amazon, where the rich, earthy notes of raw cacao mingle with hints of fruit and spice. This is a flavour experience like no other, one that pays homage to the bean’s true essence while showcasing the artistry of our chocolate-making process.
From the moment the cacao is harvested to the final tempering of the bar, every step is executed with meticulous care and attention to detail. Mr Popple carefully grinds and conches the nibs, coaxing out the bean’s natural flavours and creating a smooth, velvety texture that melts effortlessly on your tongue.
With each bite, you’ll uncover layer upon layer of complexity, a testament to the raw power of Criollo cacao and the passion that goes into crafting our Atey Ate% bar. It’s a chocolate experience that transcends mere indulgence, elevating your senses to new heights of appreciation and delight.
Yacon Syrup: Nature’s Sweet Secret
Unveiling the Peruvian Superfood Sweetener
Have you ever heard of yacon? This unassuming root vegetable, native to the Andean regions of Peru, is about to become your new best friend when it comes to indulging in sweet treats without the guilt. At Mr Popple’s, we’ve harnessed the power of yacon syrup, a delectable sweetener that’s not only low in calories but also packed with prebiotic goodness.
Imagine being able to savour the rich, decadent flavours of our chocolate bars without the dreaded sugar crash or the nagging worry about your waistline. That’s the magic of yacon syrup – a natural, low-glycaemic sweetener that won’t spike your blood sugar levels or leave you feeling sluggish and unsatisfied.
Low-GI Goodness for Guilt-Free Indulgence
One of the most remarkable things about yacon syrup is its incredibly low glycaemic index (GI) of just 1. To put that into perspective, regular cane sugar has a GI of around 68, meaning it can cause rapid spikes and crashes in your blood sugar levels. With yacon syrup, however, you can indulge in sweet treats without the rollercoaster ride.
But that’s not all – yacon syrup is also rich in fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a type of soluble fibre that acts as a prebiotic, nourishing the beneficial bacteria in your gut. A happy, healthy gut microbiome has been linked to a host of benefits, including improved digestion, stronger immunity, and even better mental well-being.
No Sugar Spikes or Crashes
Say goodbye to the dreaded sugar crash and the accompanying brain fog, fatigue, and cravings. By sweetening our chocolate bars with yacon syrup, we’ve created a guilt-free indulgence that won’t leave you feeling sluggish or reaching for another sugary treat an hour later.
Instead, you can savour the rich, complex flavours of our chocolate, knowing that you’re nourishing your body with a natural, low-GI sweetener that won’t wreak havoc on your blood sugar levels. It’s the perfect treat for those watching their waistlines, managing diabetes, or simply seeking a healthier alternative to refined sugars. It is also suitable for all sorts of dietary choices and restrictions where sugar should be avoided – for example, we have a customer with candida who says it is the only chocolate bar they enjoy without their symptoms flaring up.
Prebiotic Properties for a Happy, Healthy Gut
The benefits of yacon syrup go beyond its low-GI goodness. This Peruvian superfood is also a powerhouse of prebiotic fibres, which act as food for the beneficial bacteria in your gut. By nourishing your gut microbiome, yacon syrup can support a host of health benefits, including improved digestion, stronger immunity, and even better mental well-being.
So, not only are you indulging in a delectable treat, but you’re also doing your body a favour by supporting a healthy gut ecosystem. It’s a win-win situation that allows you to savour the moment without the guilt or the unpleasant side effects often associated with sugary indulgences.
Health Benefits of Raw Cacao
Mood-Boosting Compounds for Enhanced Well-Being
At Mr Popple’s, we believe that chocolate should be more than just a delicious treat – it should be an experience that nourishes both your body and your mind. That’s why our Atey Ate% bar is crafted with raw, unroasted cacao, a superfood that’s brimming with mood-boosting compounds that will leave you feeling uplifted and energised.
One of the star players in our cacao is theobromine, a natural stimulant that provides a gentle, sustained boost to your mental clarity and focus. Unlike caffeine, theobromine doesn’t cause jitters or crashes, making it the perfect pick-me-up for those moments when you need a little extra mental sharpness.
Anandamide and Phenethylamine: A Natural High
Theobromine isn’t the only natural pick me up in our bars – our cacao is also a rich source of anandamide and phenethylamine, two compounds that are often referred to as the “bliss molecules.” Anandamide, also known as the “bliss molecule,” is a neurotransmitter that targets the same areas of the brain as THC, but without the psychoactive effects. Instead, it provides a natural, uplifting sensation that can leave you feeling euphoric and giddy.
Phenethylamine, on the other hand, is often dubbed the “chemical of love” for its ability to induce feelings of joy and happiness. This natural compound has been shown to have anti-depressive effects, making it the perfect ally for those seeking a mood boost or reprieve from the stresses of daily life.
Another mood boosting effect comes from the high levels of Tryptophan in our cacao. This essential amino acid is the building block for Serotonin – the “happy neurotransmitter” that fills us with a sense of wellbeing
Supporting Heart Health and Cognitive Function
The benefits of raw cacao don’t stop there. This superfood is also rich in flavanols and polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that can help combat oxidative stress and inflammation, two key contributors to a host of chronic diseases. A study by Oxford Brookes Universtity that found our chocolate had the highest levels of antioxidants compared to the other 4 premium dark chocolate bar brands they tested. By incorporating our Atey Ate% bar into your diet, you’re not only indulging in a delectable treat but also supporting your heart health and cognitive function.
So, whether you’re seeking a natural energy boost, a mood-enhancing pick-me-up, or simply a guilt-free indulgence that’s good for your body and mind, our Atey Ate% bar is the perfect choice. With each bite, you’ll experience the raw power of cacao, a superfood that has been cherished for centuries for its ability to nourish and uplift.
Ethical Sourcing and Sustainable Practices
Partnering with Peruvian Farmers for Fair Trade and Sustainable Growth
At Mr Popple’s Chocolate, we believe that true indulgence should never come at the cost of ethical practices or environmental sustainability. That’s why we’ve forged a strong partnership with a cooperative of farmers in the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest, where our prized Criollo cacao beans are cultivated using traditional agroforestry techniques.
We ensure that the hardworking cacao farmers receive a fair price for their labour, while also supporting sustainable farming practices that preserve the delicate ecosystem of the rainforest. It’s a win-win situation that not only benefits the farmers but also safeguards the future of this precious natural wonder.
Our commitment to ethical sourcing doesn’t stop there. We’ve made it our mission to follow the core principles of fair trade, ensuring that every person involved in the chocolate-making process is treated with respect and compensated fairly for their efforts. From the farmers who nurture the cacao trees to the artisans who meticulously craft our bars, we believe that everyone deserves to reap the rewards of their hard work.
Minimizing Our Environmental Impact Through Eco-Friendly Packaging
At Mr Popple’s, we understand that true indulgence should never come at the cost of our planet’s well-being. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to minimize our environmental impact at every step of the chocolate-making process, starting with our packaging.

By choosing plant-based materials and eschewing traditional plastic wrappings, we’re doing our part to reduce waste and promote a more sustainable future for our planet.
Our commitment to eco-friendly practices doesn’t stop there. From the way we source our ingredients to the methods we use to craft our chocolate, every aspect of our operation is designed with sustainability in mind. It’s a holistic approach that ensures that every bite of our Atey Ate% bar is not only a delicious treat but also a conscious choice that aligns with your values and respect for the environment.

Savour the Moment: Mindful Chocolate Consumption
Engaging the Senses for a Truly Immersive Experience
At Mr Popple’s Chocolate, we believe that indulging in our delectable treats should be more than just a fleeting moment of pleasure – it should be a sensory journey that awakens your senses and transports you to a state of pure bliss.
As you unwrap one of our bars, take a moment to breathe in the rich, intoxicating aroma of raw cacao.

Then, as you take that first bite, allow the chocolate to slowly melt on your tongue, releasing a symphony of flavours that dance across your palate.
But the experience doesn’t stop there. As the chocolate melts, pay attention to the velvety texture, the way it coats your mouth with a luxurious creaminess. Notice the subtle nuances of flavour that emerge, the interplay of sweetness and bitterness, the lingering finish that leaves you craving for more.
Practising Mindfulness and Gratitude with Every Bite
In our fast-paced world, it’s all too easy to mindlessly consume without truly savouring the moment. But at Mr Popple’s, we encourage you to slow down, to be present, and to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into every bar we create.
As you indulge in our chocolate, take a moment to reflect on the journey it has taken from bean to bar. Imagine the lush Peruvian Amazon Rainforest, where our cacao is sustainably grown under the nurturing canopy of towering trees. Picture the hardworking farmers who meticulously cultivate and harvest these precious beans, their hands steeped in centuries-old traditions.
With each mindful bite, you’re not only nourishing your body but also honouring the people and the planet that made this indulgence possible. It’s a moment of gratitude, a celebration of the interconnectedness that binds us all together.
