点评:I don't normally write long reviews but this place deserves all of my time and I hope me sharing this with others will give them such a nice experience like we had.
We visited Maui for the first time here in early June of 2024. We were told we HAD to do the "Road to Hana" drive. It was soooooo worth the 3 hour drive of windy BEAUTIFUL roads each way.
While on the drive we discovered a sign that read Hana Gold Chocolate factory or something like that. We decided to pull off and drive down the short dirt road to see what was there.
I cannot say enough how much we LOVED stopping by here! As we walked up to a cute little chocolate store and where the chocolates are created, the owner met us as we walked up the steps and welcomed us. He was SUCH a nice guy who absolutely takes pride in his chocolates and he told us all about how they grow the Cacao right there on their plantation and went into really cool detail about how they grow the Cacao, roast it and make it into the chocolate bars they have. It is a really cool and detailed process that obviously takes a lot of work but a LOT of love as you will hear from him when he talks about the plantation with such passion in his voice. I HIGHLY recommend making a quick stop here and supporting this local-owned chocolate maker.
There were quite a few options in regards to flavors. Different percentages of Dark Chocolate, Sweeter Milk Chocolate bars as well. Different flavors such as Dark w/ Macadamia, or coffee and others. The price is a little higher than average ONLY because of the time and work it takes from plant to package to create these higher quality natural chocolates. The one I really liked was the one with ginger. You need to like ginger though. If you are going to make the long drive into hana with it's absolutely gorgeous jungles, waterfalls etc... I highly suggest stopping here. If you are on a tour? Make sure and ask your driver to make a quick stop. You won't regret it!

2024 年 6 月初,我们第一次来毛伊岛。有人告诉我们,我们必须走“通往哈纳之路”。这条路非常值得,一路蜿蜒而美丽,一路上只有 3 个小时。
在开车途中,我们发现了一个标志,上面写着“哈纳金巧克力工厂”或类似的东西。我们决定停下来,沿着一条短短的土路开车去看看那里有什么。
我无法用言语表达我们有多喜欢在这里停留!当我们走到一家可爱的小巧克力店,那里是巧克力的制作地时,店主在我们走上台阶时迎接了我们。他是一个非常善良的人,绝对为他的巧克力感到自豪,他向我们讲述了他们如何在他们的种植园里种植可可,并详细介绍了他们如何种植可可、烘烤可可并将其制成他们拥有的巧克力棒。这是一个非常酷且细致的过程,显然需要大量的工作,但也需要很多爱,当他谈论种植园时,你会听到他充满激情的声音。我强烈建议您在这里短暂停留并支持这家本地巧克力制造商。
口味方面有很多选择。不同比例的黑巧克力,还有更甜的牛奶巧克力棒。不同的口味,如黑巧克力加澳洲坚果,或咖啡和其他。价格略高于平均水平,只是因为从种植到包装需要时间和工作来创造这些更高品质的天然巧克力。我真正喜欢的是加姜的。不过你需要喜欢姜。如果你要长途驾车前往哈纳,那里有绝对美丽的丛林、瀑布等......我强烈建议你在这里停下来。如果你在旅游?一定要让你的司机短暂停留。你不会后悔的!
