Goodnow Farms - Coco Loco, 60%
Top American Milk Chocolate with Flavouring 2025
Origin & Craftsmanship
This limited-release bar is a tropical-inspired collaboration featuring single-origin Esmeraldas cacao sourced from the Salazar family farm in Ecuador. The beans are soaked in Boston Harbor Distillery’s Lawley’s rum, then refined with organic coconut sugar, coconut milk powder (carefully chosen for minimal additives), and bright naranjilla (lulo) fruit powder — all integrated to evoke the spirit of the iconic “Coco Loco” beach cocktail from Cartagena. There’s no cane sugar and no dairy in this bar.
Flavor Profile
Expect a creamy, tropical escape with bold yet balanced flavors: rich coconut layered with nuanced molasses and warm rum undertones, accented by subtle citrus brightness and vanilla-oak depth.
Accolades & Awards
A favorite among fans and critics alike — praised by Goodnow’s own team and featured on WGBH radio, where the combination of flavors was described as “just spectacular.”
Tasting & Pairing Guide
Let the bar melt slowly on your tongue — feel the creamy coconut milk and rum warmth mingle first, followed by the refreshing citrusy lift of naranjilla. Pair it with a smooth rum cocktail (think piña colada or coconut-forward daiquiri) to enhance its tropical flair. For non-alcoholic options, try coconut or herbal teas (like lemongrass or hibiscus) that echo the fruitiness. Light, buttery shortbread or coconut macaroons make a perfect snack companion, complementing the bar’s sweet creaminess.
Summary
Coco Loco (60%) is a vibrant, inventive chocolate that transports you to the beach with each bite. Its creative blend of coconut, rum, and tropical fruit — along with its thoughtful, dairy-free formulation — makes it both unique and indulgent. Whether you’re chasing a flavor journey or simply a sweet escape, this bar delivers both story and taste.
We ship award-winning craft chocolate from our warehouse in Saint John, New Brunswick to more than fifty countries. Rates, transit times and free-shipping thresholds for every destination are below.
How We Protect Chocolate in Transit
Fine chocolate is temperature-sensitive by nature. We pack according to the forecast along the actual route, not the season on the calendar.
25–30°C (77–86°F) — insulated packaging
30–35°C (86–95°F) — double insulation with an ice pack
35–40°C (95–104°F) — double insulation with ice packs
Above 40°C (104°F) — the shipment may be held until conditions improve
We ship Monday to Thursday so nothing sits in a weekend warehouse, and a business delivery address gives chocolate a better chance than a doorstep in August. These measures reduce risk substantially. They do not eliminate it — in sustained heat, softening can still occur in transit.
Estimated Delivery Times
Every timeframe shown in the table, at checkout, or in a shipping confirmation is an estimate. Actual transit varies with destination, customs clearance and carrier operations, and peak periods and public holidays in either country affect it further. We dispatch promptly, but once a parcel is with the carrier we have little control over its progress, and we can't guarantee a delivery date.
Customs and Duties
Duties, import taxes and local handling fees are set by the destination country and are the responsibility of the recipient. They are not included in our shipping charge. Where a destination has a specific requirement, it's noted alongside that destination's rate.
If a carrier asks you for information to complete clearance, respond promptly. Parcels held for unanswered customs queries are usually returned or destroyed, and we can't recover them.
Orders With Pre-Order Items
An order that mixes in-stock and pre-order items ships complete, once every item has arrived. This avoids a second shipping charge. The expected date for a pre-order item appears on its product page and in your order confirmation, and you'll be emailed when the full order ships.
If you want the in-stock items sooner, place two separate orders. Pre-order items can't be expedited.
Damage, Melting and Delays
We don't refund or replace orders for melting, carrier delays, or customs-related outcomes. Our pricing reflects the protective packaging included in every order rather than a margin held back to cover weather.
If something arrives genuinely damaged, write to us within seven days with photographs of the parcel and its contents and we'll look at it.
Delivery to Specific Countries
For country-specific details on customs, transit and local requirements, see our pages for chocolate delivery to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore.

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.
