Origin & Craftsmanship
This playful and bold bar is crafted by McGuire Chocolate in Austin, Texas — a bean-to-bar maker known for creative flavour pairings and meticulous attention to cacao quality. The Hanky Panky 57% Spicy Milk blends fine milk chocolate with warming spices, giving a spirited twist on the classic milk-chocolate experience that’s both approachable and adventurous.

Flavor Profile
At 57% cacao, this bar delivers creamy milk chocolate richness as its foundation. Built into that is a balanced spice medley that typically includes warm notes — think cinnamon, chili, and a hint of heat-driven complexity — that rise gently through the sweetness. The result is a chocolate that’s cozy, surprising, and layered, with an enjoyable interplay between creamy sweetness and subtle warmth.

Tasting & Pairing Guide

Let a piece melt slowly on your tongue so the smooth milk chocolate opens first, followed by an inviting warmth that builds through the spice blend.
Pair this bar with a spiced chai latte or creamy café con leche to harmonize with the bar’s warm spice profile. For a non-alcoholic alternative, try a roasted grain tea or cinnamon-infused rooibos to echo the warming notes. For food pairing, shortbread cookies or ginger-spiced biscotti accent both the creamy base and the spice’s character.

Summary

The Hanky Panky 57% Spicy Milk Chocolate from McGuire Chocolate is a fun and flavorful expression of milk chocolate with a kick. Its creative spice infusion brings warmth and intrigue to a smooth, creamy base — perfect for anyone craving a milk chocolate that’s spirited, comforting, and a little bit unexpected.

Our chocolate makers proudly refrain from using any artificial stabilizers or preservatives in their products, making their creations more temperature-sensitive compared to other premium chocolates.

To ensure the optimal taste experience, it's advisable to store our chocolates in a cool, dry place where the temperature hovers between 16°C and 18°C. Please refrain from refrigerating our chocolates, as this may cause sugar crystallization due to increased humidity, altering their texture and flavor.

On the contrary, if stored in excessively high temperatures, cocoa butter may separate and form a white film on the chocolate's surface. This loss of cocoa butter can lead to the chocolate drying out and, consequently, a potential alteration in flavor. Your mindful storage practices will help preserve the integrity of our delectable chocolates.
