Description
Red Handed is the bar that doesn’t bother with an alibi. White couverture tinted scarlet by real wild cranberry — the color’s the fruit, not a dye — cut with Korean yuja and a copper edge of sumac, orange signing the whole thing in bright citrus. Freeze-dried cranberry surfaces on the back for tartness that hits before the sweet answers. Loud, red, and inexpensive to make that loud, which is exactly the crime.
The Look: Caught red-handed. The faceted bar pours in scarlet-tinted white couverture, the color pulled from cranberry, freeze-dried cranberry pieces bleeding deeper red across the flat back. A yuja-orange sheen brightens the top facets. Reads like evidence.
Storage
Store sealed at 60–68°F (16–20°C), somewhere cool, dry, and out of the light. Best within 30 days. Once you’ve opened it, ten to fourteen days. Do not refrigerate — the bar sweats and the facets lose their gloss. Do not freeze. Snap along the facet ridgelines; don’t chop, or you lose the geometry that’s half the point. Fold the sleeve closed between encounters. Freeze-dried cranberry pulls moisture fast — keep the sleeve sealed or the tart edge goes dull.
Sustainability
Matte cocoa slide sleeve over a compostable inner fold, printed on FSC-certified board with soy-based inks and water-based coatings. Turquoise foil stamping is food-grade and aluminum-free where the supplier offers it. Couverture sourced Direct Trade and Rainforest Alliance, single-origin Bahia where the flavor calls for it. Dairy from regional farms within a 250-mile radius wherever the season allows. No artificial colors — the color you see is cocoa, caramel, fruit, or nut doing the work. No high-fructose corn syrup. No palm oil in the base couverture. No pretzels anywhere in the line. Cranberry is seasonal-cheap bulk fruit; yuja and sumac in micro-dose — bright, tart, and cheap to make loud.

Bought one bar on a whim and immediately regretted not getting more.
Marcus A. –
Tart first, sweet second, and I was not ready for that cranberry snap.

So much livelier than plain white chocolate. The orange on the finish is lovely.

Gorgeous red color, and somehow it tastes even better than it looks.

Too tart for my taste, honestly, though my teenager inhaled the entire thing.

Honestly thought it’d be too sour for me, but the citrus evens it out just right.

Guilty as charged — ate half the bar standing at the kitchen counter.
Gabriel F. –
Really didn’t expect a candy bar to taste this fresh and fruity.

Low-key the best thing I’ve ordered online all year.

Whoever L.A. Walton is, she’s dreaming up bars nobody else even thinks to make.

Kept one bar at my desk and it did not survive the afternoon.
Freya Q. –
Ruby-red and it snaps clean along those ridges. Little things matter.

You can tell L.A. Walton actually tastes these. Weird in the best, most deliberate way.

Officially rationing myself to one square a night. It’s not going well.

Somebody keep L.A. Walton far away from my willpower, because this bar is unfair.

Citrus pop is nice, yet sweeter than the tart I’d hoped for. Middling.

Because of the yuja, this went from ‘cute’ to ‘reorder immediately.’

Addicted already. Someone hide my laptop before I order the twelve again.

Threw one in the cart at checkout and now it’s my standing reorder.
