Dripping Springs Chocolate Co. and DSCL are having a event called "Chocolate Talk & Taste" at the library! Dripping Springs Chocolate Co. will share information on how cocoa beans are resourced and turned into delicious chocolate. Patrons will have an opportunity to taste the different chocolate that Dripping Springs Chocolate Co. creates!

 DSCC is a family owned business and all members of the family involved in various aspects of the process.
Several years ago they went on a family mission trip to Nicaragua. During this trip they saw the poverty and need for jobs to strengthen the economy. After much searching, discussion and evaluating the local markets in central Texas, the family decided that a chocolate company using ethically sourced beans was a great way to support the local economies.
At that point they started learning everything they could about chocolate and now hope to share it with you!
"DSCC starts with ethically sourced raw cacao beans. Our mission is to provide you with the best chocolate possible while helping improve the lives of the farmers and communities that grow the cacao."
