Fine Dark Chocolate
Sleep Walk - Picante Cinnamon & Cayenne, 70%
The house bar with heat — Southern Mexican cacao, warm cinnamon, and a cayenne kick that builds.
Above-the-fold callout
Take Sleep Walk's beloved house bar and give it a fire. Picante is the Barra de la Casa — that fudgy, nutty blend of Southern Mexican cacaos — laced with cinnamon and cayenne: the cinnamon lending a warm, comforting baking-spice note, the cayenne bringing a heat that builds gently with each bite. Bold, warming and genuinely exciting, made vegan and by hand in Chicago. A cold-weather bar with a Mexican soul.
Origin & Craftsmanship
It starts from the same considered foundation as the house bar: a blend of Southern Mexican cacaos, chosen to taste classic and approachable, made to a simple 70/30 cocoa-to-sugar ratio with no stabilisers or preservatives. From there Sleep Walk add just two spices — cinnamon and cayenne — folded into the chocolate rather than dusted on, so the warmth and the heat run all the way through. Everything is hand-tempered bowl by bowl on granite and wrapped in original artist-designed sleeves. A spiced bar built on a properly good chocolate base, which is what separates it from novelty heat.
Flavor Profile
The comforting, low-acidity house chocolate lands first — fudgy, nutty, familiar — then the cinnamon blooms with its warm baking-spice sweetness, and finally the cayenne arrives, a heat that doesn't shock so much as build and linger. Warming and layered, spicy without being punishing. A nod to the Mexican tradition of chocolate with chilli, done with real balance.
Tasting & Pairing Guide
Let a square melt slowly so the spices arrive in sequence and the cayenne warmth settles in at the end. It's the natural partner to a cup of coffee or a Mexican-style hot chocolate, and it stands up beautifully to a smoky mezcal or an añejo tequila that mirrors its warmth. For contrast, a scoop of vanilla ice cream turns the heat into dessert. Keep it between 16 and 18°C — with no stabilisers it's heat-sensitive — and don't refrigerate it.
Summary
The Picante Cinnamon & Cayenne 70% is Sleep Walk's house bar turned up: their classic Southern Mexican blend warmed with cinnamon and lit with a building cayenne heat, vegan and hand-tempered in Chicago. Comforting and fiery at once, and rooted in the Mexican tradition of chocolate and chilli. The bar for anyone who likes their dark chocolate with a little danger.

Vegan, Dairy-free
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.
