This business success may sound like a dream come true. The demand for the chocolate was so high that Hamouda and her husband had to hire staff and rent a kitchen to keep up. However, they still weren’t able to meet the public’s demand because each chocolate bar is made by hand. Hamouda insists on using only high-quality ingredients and makes sure that every bar looks beautiful. In fact, the top of each bar is hand-painted using edible paint.
