Get Your PMS Fix: Pure Need, Pure Chocolate, Pure Heaven
by Nicole
The Daily Mantra has always felt that chocolate is a medical necessity for women once a month. Sadly, our health insurance company doesn’t see eye to eye with us on this issue, so we don’t get any preferred provider HMO or PPO discount on our monthly supply. Luckily the folks at Charles Chocolates understand our needs, providing an essential monthly shipment service for their PMS assortment, which costs $18 for a one-off fix, $98 for a 6 month prescription and $185 for a year’s worth of monthly doses.
Charles Chocolates are a San Francisco-based company, owned by chocolatier Chuck Siegel. The artisan chocolates are made with the finest ingredients. High cacao chocolate (with more of the PMS busting compounds us chicks require) is mixed with natural and organic ingredients, which are locally sourced where possible. The confections contain no artificial preservatives and must be consumed while fresh. The intense flavors challenge the palate, blurring the lines between bitter, sweet and saltiness.
This month our PMS supply included caramelized almond clusters in a rich and creamy 41% chocolate, roasted pistachio and candied lemon clusters bathed in a 70% bittersweet coating, and a mocha java bar made with real beans and 65% bittersweet chocolate. Needless to say, after taking our prescribed medication, we’re feeling much better.
