Black Sesame Butter Cups — 2-Piece. Two filled chocolates with a black sesame shell around a nut-free sunflower butter and Taiwanese black sesame centre, sweetened with raw honey. Gold and a Special Prize for Reinterpretation at the 2025 International Chocolate Awards World Final. Awards: International Chocolate Awards 2025 World Final — Gold, score 90.2 · Special Prize: Reinterpretation "Whimsical." — International Chocolate Awards judges, 2025 ceremony A rich shell crafted from premium Indian black sesame seeds, blended with organic cocoa butter and sea salt, paired with a creamy filling of sunflower butter and aromatic Taiwanese black sesame powder, naturally sweetened with organic raw honey. Savoury and sweet in balance. A reinterpreted classic. The judges awarded this cup a Special Prize for Reinterpretation — recognising a familiar form rebuilt in another culture's language. The peanut butter cup is about as American as confectionery gets; ours is built on black sesame instead, an ingredient revered across Asia. Nut-free. The filling is sunflower butter rather than peanut, so these work where nuts don't — lunchboxes, offices, classrooms. Two pieces: enough to find out whether black sesame is your thing, or to have something good in the cupboard without committing to a box. Made without preservatives or additives. • Contents: 2 pieces • Weight: 1.26 oz (36 g) • Allergens: Contains milk and sesame. Made in a facility that also processes tree nuts, wheat and eggs. • Storage: Cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Handcrafted in Austin, Texas, USA

KesshoEstablished 2022

Hey there! We're KESSHŌ, your friendly Austin-based craft chocolate creators. Our co-founders, Liang Wang and Mark Huetsch, embarked on this sweet adventure to weave together their favorite Asian flavors with bean-to-bar chocolate. KESSHŌ — a name that translates to "Crystal" in Japanese — has dual significance for us. On one hand, it pays homage to the splendid crystalline structure of chocolate. But on a deeper level, "KESSHŌ" signifies the rewards that spring from laboring over what you love, embodying our painstakingly precise bean-to-bar process. Every step of the journey, from selecting organic cacao farms to manufacturing in our boutique factory in Austin, stands as a testament to our dedication. In 2018, we began crafting our own bean-to-bar chocolate. Our chocolate bars, bonbons, and nama chocolates have garnered several ICA and AOC awards from 2019 to 2023, encouraging us to continue sourcing exquisite Asian ingredients to create an orchestra of flavors with single-origin cacaos. Every flavor we design has a unique story we can't wait to share. Our packaging — a blend of watercolor style and traditional Chinese painting techniques — reflects the rich diversity of the hand-selected Asian ingredient. . We hope our chocolate serves as a portal to the various cultures behind these ingredients, continues to uplift cacao farmers in African and Central American countries, and celebrates the myriad cultures and identities linked to this delightful indulgence.
