Third stall from the left
We started with a folding table and a tray of chocolate we broke up by hand.
SNAPP is a small dessert shop out of Bengaluru. Chocolate bark, poured thick and broken by hand, in three flavours we make constantly. We sold it out of a crate at a flea market for a year before we built this page.
Nothing about the way we make it changed when we went online. Only the queue.
The whole idea
Chocolate that is broken, not cut.
A moulded bar has decided everything for you before it arrives. Twelve squares, scored to break exactly where a machine said they should, every bar identical to the last one you had.
So we pour ours thick on a tray, press everything in while it is still moving, and leave it to set overnight. In the morning somebody breaks it up by hand. No two pieces come out the same shape, there is no polite portion to take, and the whole thing is built to go round a table rather than into a pocket.
That is the entire concept. There is genuinely no more to it.
An unpopular decision
Three barks. That is the menu.
Somebody asks us for a fourth one about once a week. The answer is still no, and it is not stubbornness. Three means we make each of them constantly instead of occasionally, which means we have made enough to know exactly what a humid Bengaluru afternoon does to a tray of setting chocolate. It means the good bits reach the edges instead of collecting in the middle. It means when a batch is off we know within one tray rather than four.
Everything we have to say is in those three — Caramel Popcorn, Confetti and Roasted Almond Dark. Three ways to end an evening, and one of them will turn out to be yours.
How this works
You pre-order. We make it. It turns up.
Nothing here is made before somebody asks for it. You order, we pour your bark, and it is with you in 2–3 days. No cutoff to miss, no evening you have to be awake for, no queue that closes.
- One
You pre-order
Any day, any hour. Pick your barks, pay, and your order goes on the make list with a number against it. That is the last thing you have to do.
- Two
We make it
Everything is made to order and packed by hand. Your slab is poured, set, snapped and boxed for your order — not pulled off a shelf and dusted off for you.
- Three
At your door in 2–3 days
Delivered anywhere in Bengaluru, or collect it from the stall for free. Same promise whether it is one bark or a hamper.
If we cannot make a flavour, it goes grey on the site until we can. We would rather tell you no than make something in a hurry and hope you do not notice.
The part nobody photographs
How it is actually made, and what that means for you.
This is the section a food buyer reads twice, so we have written it straight rather than warmly.
Made after you order, never before
There is no shelf here for something to sit on. Your bark is poured because you asked for it, and it leaves as soon as it has set — 2–3 days from your order to your door.
Ingredients, only when we are sure
Ingredient and allergen details are being finalised. If you have an allergy, message us before ordering and we will tell you exactly what is in it. We would rather say that plainly than print a list we cannot stand behind, and we will answer the same day you ask.
The catch with making it to order
It is made to be eaten, not to be kept. Keep it cool and dry, and out of direct sun. A slab that has spent an afternoon in a warm car is not the slab we sent you.
Introductions
The one with the eyes is Shardy.
Shardy is a piece of bark with a face and no strong opinions about anything except being passed around. He turns up on the stickers, on the box seal, and occasionally in the corner of this website watching your cursor.
Look at his sides and you can tell which way he came off the tray. One edge is long and calm, the way chocolate sets against a rim. The other is a hard zigzag, because that is the side he snapped along. The name of the shop is in that one edge, which is the whole reason he is drawn that way round.
We drew him instead of a logo because a logo cannot look pleased with itself. He came off something bigger and seems entirely fine about it.
That is the whole story.
The rest of it is a slab in a maroon box, a sound when it breaks, and no dignified way to share it out. Order today and it is at your door in 2–3 days.
