    You two need to be on Netflix, with your own show. I learned so much from this tour that I went and bought a bunch of my favorite Manoa chocolate bars online for Christmas. The goat milk sounds right up my alley.

    Wow, I feel so lucky to have been able to have this behind-the-scenes tour with you guys! Thank you for sharing that, and thank you to Dylan of Manoa Chocolate Company for hosting you. He is so passionate about his product, but what's even more important, he's so ARTICULATE, which enables us to appreciate everything so much more. I've seen the brand at Whole Foods and I'm definitely going to pick some up the next time I go!

    Omg I was the uber driver for some people who work for manoa chocolate. We were talking about that time when there was a rumor all over the internet about a chocolate shortage and how it wasn’t true at all 😂 They told me that I could go get a taste test there at Kailua! This reminded me that I need to go sometime ❤

    This has to be one of my favorite vlogs on your channel! Super informative/educational with the process behind chocolate making - definitely a science. Awesome to see the attention to detail that Manoa takes from the pod to the final product. Definitely will have to stop by the store and have a chocolate tasting! The chocolate tea is intriguing! It's so dope to see you featuring local businesses - ALOT of hidden gems 🙂! Mahalo Amanda & Felix for all the great content!

    Hi Amanda & Felix….this was a great video. I learned so much about the art of chocolate making….it was fascinating. I have a new respect for all chocolate makers and especially Manoa Chocolates. They are equivalent to a farm to table restaurant. And btw Felix….I like it when eggs and meat hang out too LOL 😂. I also wanted to mention that you both have very soothing voices…don’t know if anybody has mentioned that to you. 😊🇨🇦
