Sleep Walk - Miel Y Chiltepe, 70%
Ranked in the Top 100 Chocolates in the World.
Origin & Craftsmanship
A bold, handmade creation by Chicago’s Sleep Walk Chocolateria, in collaboration with Dark Matter Coffee. This bar blends cacao from Mexico and Central America with raw honey and fiery chile chiltepe—a small but potent chili variety sourced from Finca San Jerónimo Miramar in Guatemala. The honey, with its delicate Mesquite flower profile, forms a thin layer within the bar, offering sweetness and depth alongside the visual flair of artist Raul Sisniega’s packaging.
Flavor Profile
This bar presents a breezy blend of sweet and spice—rich, floral-forward honey folds into the cacao’s rounded dark chocolate base, and is beautifully contrasted by the rapidly rising heat of the chiltepe pepper. It’s a composition that balances warmth, energy, and sweetness in a tightly curated bite.
Accolades & Awards
A Top 10%-rated chocolate globally, this bar earned a Gold medal in the 2024 International Chocolate Awards, affirming its exceptional creativity and flavor execution.
Tasting & Pairing Guide
Allow the bar to melt on your palate, letting the warm floral honey combine with the rich cacao before the gentle burn of chiltepe arrives. This bar pairs beautifully with a smoky mezcal or tequila to mirror its warm, herbal spice. For non-alcoholic pairings, try a strong herbal tea such as chamomile with a touch of citrus to complement the honey and spice. A slice of grilled peach or sweet corn tortilla adds a smoky-sweet contrast that enhances both the heat and floral qualities of the bar.
Summary
The Sleep Walk Miel y Chiltepe 70% bar is an artful blend of sweetness, floral nuance, and chili heat. Rooted in thoughtful sourcing and creative design, it’s a sensory and visual standout—ideal for those seeking something bold, beautiful, and unmistakably unique.
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.
