Double Spiral Chocolate

Bean-to-Bar with a Purpose: Meet Double Spiral Chocolate

At Rooted, we’re proud to carry brands that not only taste good but do good—and Double Spiral Chocolate is the perfect example. Handcrafted right here in Delaware, this Wilmington-based company is redefining chocolate as a path to wellness, not just indulgence.

Founded by husband-and-wife duo Stuart and Mhairi Craig, Double Spiral began with a simple question: What if chocolate could be more nutritious? In 2014, they started experimenting with unrefined sugars and whole ingredients. The result? A line of delicious, thoughtfully crafted, single origin bars that go far beyond dessert.

Rooted in science and care (Stuart is a biochemist and Mhairi is a registered nurse), their mission is grounded in the wisdom of Hippocrates:
“Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.”

Why We Love It

Minimal ingredients. Maximum intention.
Each bar is stone-ground and made using time-honored practices like fermentation, sprouting, and roasting—techniques that preserve nutrients while developing rich, complex flavor profiles. Their chocolate is free from dairy, gluten, nuts, and soy, making it an inclusive choice for many diets.

Digestive wellness in every bite.
Unlike conventional chocolate, which often relies on refined white sugar and unnecessary additives, Double Spiral uses unrefined sugar and high-quality cacao to support your body and your taste buds. Think smooth texture, balanced sweetness, and an almost velvety melt.

Sustainably sourced. Story-driven.
Every bar starts with single origin cacao, meaning you can taste the unique character of the beans—and learn the story behind where they came from. It’s chocolate with a global conscience and a local heart.

A Taste of The Ardens

As Delaware’s first bean-to-bar chocolate maker, Double Spiral is located in the creative community of The Ardens, where art, craft, and nature all collide. Their name comes from an ancient Celtic symbol, the Double Spiral, which like the Taoist Yin-Yang, reflects balance: two forces working together in harmony.

That spirit is present in everything they do—from their meticulous small-batch process to their commitment to quality and well-being.
