Alaska sea salt chocolate bars began as airline perk

A flavor of Seattle Chocolate’s premium jcoco bars created for Alaska Airlines will now be available in stores, a blend that includes “60% dark chocolate and salt flakes smoked over burning Alder wood in Sitka, Alaska.” Alaska has been giving out the upscale chocolate to elite travelers during beverage service for about five years, and the new flavor was suggested by a state representative from Sitka.
