Chocolate was my happy place. And then I went vegan. This was a long time ago, before it was cool. Suddenly I was a chronic chocoholic with no chocolate fix. The only things available to me were dark chocolate or carob (bleak times, yes). So I started making my own. Ah, that first batch of vegan chocolates. Messy, misshapen, but oh so delicious. Balance was restored. I could once again eat my weight in chocolate. Phew.

Fast-forward a decade, and I created Dopamine Chef, a small business on a mission to put a smile on people’s faces with epic vegan chocolates and snacks made with organic, healthy ingredients. Life is short. Diets suck. Let’s eat foods that love us back!
