From sunlight at dawn, to buds in Spring, and on to the Universe, itself... all Nature is unfolding and expanding. What does this expansion reveal? The brightening sunlight reveals our world in all its complexity and potential. Blooming buds release the limitless beauty of creation in stems and flowers, trees and leaves. The Universe reveals an ever-larger infinity in which we are to manifest our dreams and accomplish our purpose. Nature’s imperative that everything unfold and expand finds a most willing partner here at Gnosis - as She has since our founding in 2008.
The English poet, William Blake, wrote, “To see the world in a grain of sand, and Heav’n in a wild flower…” In that spirit, we most warmly invite you “To taste (or experience) Nature’s unfolding in a Gnosis truffle.”
Hot Chocolate Elixirs
Chocolate was first consumed not in a bar or truffle, but as a drink… and with good reason! Our ceremonial drinking cacao elixirs are the perfect carriers for functional herbs. Low-glycemic, raw, organic, vegan, and infused with botanical alchemy, we’ve given the roots of cacao a Gnosis Twist.
SIGNATURE COLLECTIONS
BARS
All bars - like all our creations - are made of minimally heated heirloom organic cacao, and are free of GMO, refined sugar, dairy, soy, gluten, & peanuts.
TRUFFLE-BARS
Our truffle-style bars have become very popular - thick, satisfying, and nourishing. Shells of 70% cacao are freshly filled by hand in micro batches, like all our creations.
ELIXIRS
We’ve been infusing botanicals and medicinal mushrooms into heirloom cacao since 2008. The Olmecs started in 300BC! The roots of chocolate… with a Gnosis Twist.
BITES
A perfect treat for guests; serve on a platter - with fruit perhaps? Add to your own recipe… or your purse! At 30% off, bite-sized pieces are eco and pocket-friendly!
UNCOMPROMISING INTEGRITY
Our ingredients are organic (or wildcrafted), vegan, low-glycemic, nutritionally dense, and free of gluten, soy, dairy, peanuts, gmo, and anything artificial.
We partner with mother nature and small producers to bring you what we like to call botanical alchemy: functional chocolate.
Since the first bar of chocolate I made for the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2006, Gnosis has grown 100% organically by word of mouth. We believe a company should invest only in the quality and integrity of its work - not in paid advertising. We do not use PR agencies. Our customers are our ambassadors!

Welcome, ChocoLover!
Since the first bar of chocolate I made for the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2006, Gnosis has grown 100% organically by word of mouth. We believe a company should invest only in the quality and integrity of its work - not in paid advertising - and that our customers become our ambassadors, if we are deserving. We do not use PR agencies, machines, or fillers (ingredient that does not have a specific health function).
We make our chocolate with Love, by hand, gift wrap every order, and use only clean, whole, organic, low-glycemic, vegan ingredients (no gluten, dairy, soy, peanuts, or GMO) and heirloom cacao beans sourced with great care. In fact, we visited our sources and were a founding member of the Heirloom Cacao Preservation Fund. We support Herbalists Without Borders. Access to herbal medicine is our birthright.
Gnosis is now producing our bars and elixirs for a few markets (should you wish to receive free chocolate for becoming an ambassador). Online is always the best place to find us - we have a great many seasonal creations and gift collections, all shipped directly from our kitchen in Astoria, NY.
We (my mother and I) could not be more grateful to be entering our 16th year of making chocolate for you! Thank you for voting with your voices and. purchases for the marketplace you wish to see!
