Our Story
The idea of Bon AppéSweet was founded in the broken heart of a deployed mother.
I left my daughter for 13 months, just before her second birthday, and it devastated me. I spent my deployment thinking of a way that I would never have to leave her again. From my love for her, this company was born.
My daughter fell in love with dessert while I was deployed. She went from no processed sugar to aunt's and uncle's sneaking her treats regularly. Since she loved dessert so much, I decided that instead of taking away the foods that she had grown to love, I would simply make them healthier. So I created desserts that were sweetened using fruit-based sweeteners, zero processed sugars, and zero sugar alcohols, and eventually, our date-sweetened chocolate bars were born. And looking out for the planet that my daughter will soon inherit, I made all of my chocolate 100% plant-based and dairy-free.
“This company is my promise to my daughter that I will never leave her again. Each and every one of you helps me to keep my promise and I thank you.”
