RAISING THE BARS

Los Angeles chocolatier Compartés is run by Jonathan Grahm, who took over the company when he was just 21. Grahm packs all his favourite things into his thoroughly textured milk, white and dark chocolate bars – think coffee grounds and chunks of doughnut from LA’s finest cafés, candy-like cereal and marshmallows – and he’s even dabbled in kale. Wrapped in graphic prints and inscribed with poems written by Grahm himself, Compartés bars are a fun-packed Californian antidote to some of the more painfully earnest players in the chocolate game. compartes.com
