Dearest ChocoLovers, 

 As the temperature continues to drop here in NYC, I must admit I never liked the cold much. But since I attended Integrative Nutrition '07 and started Gnosis, I've not gotten the flu once! I attribute this to the valuable wisdom I learned about preventative medicine. It's as simple as eating lots of fresh produce and supplementing with superfoods and medicinal herbs, which we've made not only easy but also delicious by infusing them into the world's most beloved food... chocolate, of course!

I'm so excited to share this newsletter with you... Team Gnosis is officially in full-swing with our holiday season and we are thrilled to offer you so many specials and new products this weekend! We also have a very busy schedule and are truly looking forward to seeing you at our upcoming ChocoEvents ~ come join us!  ..

Thank you so much for the opportunity to share our love-filled, superfood-infused treats with you... Here's to a healthy turn round the sun!

Indulge your inner child and the children in your life with the pleasure and health-boosting experience that is the Pumpkin Spice Truffle. You'll without a doubt easily forget the less-than-healthy Trick-Or-Treat candies of your past forever... This truffle delights all palates! While keeping plenty for you and yours, we invite you to consider filling Holiday Party Goers' bags with Pumpkin Spice Truffles this year rather than with the usual sugar and chemical-filled "treats." These raw vegan kosher truffles are hand-filled with a smooth stone-ground pumpkin creme, spiced with warming cardamom, nutmeg, cloves and ginger, and infused with superfoods & medicinal herbs for endurance; maca, ginseng, cordyceps. Each jem is packaged with love in a post-consumer recycled, veggie ink printed box and a beautiful gift tag and satin ribbon.      Pumpkin Spice Truffles: 3 piece box  $10.49    Pumpkin Spice Truffles: 16 piece box  $47.99 Pumpkin Spice Truffles: 24 piece box   $64.49

Say the word, "chocolate." Even tone, no inflection. Now, say two words: "cold chocolate." You said them the same, right? No charge. No big deal. But now say "hot chocolate." WHOA! Do the associations ever start flying ! Jolly snowmen, crackling fires, kids bundled up in scarves and mittens, the glow of the holidays. And...you're smiling...

In creating these Elixirs, Gnosis time travels you to the original, Mesoamerican chocolate experience - the sacred drink - so treasured by the Olmecs, Aztecs, and Mayans. It took the treasured hot chocolate of these storied civilizations fully four millenia to flow into our northern cups and mugs. It first flowed east as the Spanish introduced chocolate in the 16th century to Europe, where the biting edge (chocolate, in Mayan - xocatl - means "bitter water") was tempered by sugar and milk, and popularity spread across the continent. It was only in the 1760s that hot chocolate re-crossed the Atlantic to be poured for the New World's new inhabitants.

Today, when challenges to our health are increasing, the medicinal herbs in our Raw Hot Chocolate Elixirs make them not only flavorful, but also functional. The drink delivers nutrients to our system in a form that metabolizes faster (think: eating carrots vs. drinking carrot juice). The result is faster and more complete access to antioxidants, neurotransmitters, and nutrients we so need - especially as the weather changes and there is less sunlight. If you're trying to reduce coffee usage but don't want to give up its energy boost, Gnosis Hot Chocolate Elixirs provide energy from theobromine, medicinal herbs, and superfoods... enabling you to reduce caffeine and its side-effects. 

Spoon Gnosis Hot Chocolate Elixir powder into your preferred liquid base to create an infusion that fills your entire being with flavor and the goodness of Gnosis's raw, organic, chocolate... tenderly sweetened by low glycemic, nutrient rich organic palm nectar. Join us - begin your sacred cacao ritual today and be fortified by ancient wisdom and a Gnosis twist!

It’s Showtime! Raw, Vegan, Organic, Kosher, Gluten/Dairy/Soy/Sugar- free, Best-You-Ever-Ate Chocolate Showtime, that is!

Standing ovations are in store for Gnosis’s chocolates at the Chocolate World Expo on Sunday, November 6 at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, NY.

The tried-and-true cast of raw chocolate bars you’ve come to know and love opens the show: Aphrodisia, Immune Boost, Coconut Almond, Fleur de Sel, Simplicity, and, of course, Superchoc. These bars are made with respect for the origins of cacao, the well-being of our society, and the Earth’s natural majesty.  And, like all Gnosis products, they celebrate health, exquisite flavor, and integrity. Building on a base of ethically sourced Raw Cacao from Bali, Ecuador, and Peru, Gnosis adds superfoods, low glycemic sweeteners, nutrient dense fruits, nuts, and medicinal herbs sourced fastidiously from the Amazon to the Himalayas to make each bar a show in itself.

On another Westchester County Center stage, the curtain will rise on Gnosis’s new artisan raw hot chocolate elixirs as they make their world debut. Gnosis Found!r and raw chocolate industry driving force, Vanessa Barg (“Chocolate Girl”) and Gnosis’s chocolatier, Lauren Gockley (Ms. Truffle) will pour Aphrodisia, Immune Boost, and Mayan Heat elixirs into visitors’ cups, and the elixirs, themselves, will pour out their flavorful, nutritious, invigorating hearts in choruses that visitors can hum again and again as they take packets home for heart-warming encores.

Visitors will also want encores by another Gnosis’s star: its country-to-the-city Pumpkin Spice Truffle. Hand-filled with smooth, stone-ground pumpkin creme, these raw vegan kosher truffles will entertain you with their warming cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.  And, infused as they are with superfoods & medicinal herbs for endurance - maca, ginseng, cordyceps - they’ll have you singing and dancing (or hoofing and woofing?) up a storm before intermission!  Each of these gems is packaged with love in a post-consumer recycled, veggie ink printed box and a beautiful gift tag and satin ribbon. This scrumptious little starlet is sure to elicit call for encores.

The Westchester Chocolate World Expo started out as a small, local event in Rockland County with about 35 vendors , and has grown into the largest consumer chocolate show in America with over 65 vendor booths expected at the upcoming County Center event.  Although Chocolate World Expo is known for its emphasis on locally-produced foods, several European candy makers will also be represented.  Attendees will get to taste, purchase, celebrate and otherwise indulge in delicious gourmet chocolates, baked goods, specialty foods, gelato, cheeses, wines and much more. Chocolate World Expo places and emphasis on sustainable farming and showcases vendors who utilize locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.

The Westchester County Center is easily accessible from all major area highways and can also be reached via the Metro North Harlem Valley Line to the White Plains Train Station.  Express train service from Grand Central Terminal  is a short 35 minute ride through the beautiful fall foliage. The County Center is a five-minute walk across a shared parking lot from the train station or just a short cab ride away.

Admission to Chocolate World Expo is $15 for adults and $10 for children ages 5 through 11. Children under 5 years of age are free. Tickets can be purchased online at www.ChocolateWorldExpo.com until November 5th, the day before the show, using credit and debit cards. After that, cash-only ticket sales will be available at the Westchester County Center Box Office on the day of the show. For more information
