The Song We Picked

Honey

  • MEET KATIE KUFFEL

    A local Seattle treasure for over a decade, her bold, piano-driven sound blends blues, jazz, and folk with sharp wit and raw emotion. Her music feels rich, warm, layered, and deeply resonant, creating an instant connection with listeners - with enough bite to keep you coming back for more.

  • WHY THIS SONG AND OUR CHOCOLATE BELONG TOGETHER

    This song has such a warmth to it. The bass and the warm tones of the rhodes piano and create a strong foundation for the song. Then, with that foundation to stand on, Katie’s voice comes in as this soft and flowing high-end that beautifully counterbalance the low end. Add the mention of honey in the lyrics and this song becomes the perfect pairing for our Colombian bar. The Colombian bar is rich, warm, and cozy but light and surprisingly sweet for dark chocolate. It’s also strong enough to be the core chocolate for all our ingratiated bars. Eating this bar while listening to this song is like being wrapped up in a big cozy blanket.  (Note our bar does not actually have honey in it)

The Music:

We know, we know—you want to dive into the chocolate first. But we suggest starting with the music.

  • First, scroll back up and click the Spotify link we provided. The song is also available on Apple Music.

  • Treat yourself! Put on some headphones. Don’t listen to the song through your phone’s speakers. Artists put so much work into the mix—the sound of the guitars, the placement of the drums, how the vocals dance with the harmonies. With headphones, you’ll be able to hear all those beautiful subtleties. And trust us—Katie has packed her music with endless details that elevate every note.

  • Her voice is amazing, isn’t it?! Okay, now for your chocolate…

The Chocolate:

  • Just like you took your time with the music, take your time with the chocolate.

  • Start by breaking off a small piece from the corner and chewing it. This is just to familiarize your palate with the flavor. It’s okay to swallow this part quickly—think of it like tuning your instrument.

  • Now take another small bite, but this time, let it melt. Slow down. Let the chocolate move around your palate.

  • This chocolate bar is rich and warm, with notes of fudge, stone fruit, and honey. It’s sweet. It’s smooth. It’s familiar and classic.

  • All of these reasons are why we think it pairs perfectly with Katie’s music—especially the song Honey. The true mark of a great song is when it feels familiar, but you can’t quite pinpoint why. Honey feels like it’s been your favorite song for years. It’s catchy. It’s rich. It’s sweet—just like our bar.

  • Now go explore more of Katie’s music, and keep indulging in the rest of your chocolate bar.
