    About HidrateSpark:

    Hidrate Inc. was started by a group of health conscious and dedicated individuals who were passionate about helping people shape healthier habits. The idea was brought to life at a Google Startup weekend in 2014 in the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota. In just 54 hours, the team built a water bottle that tracked water intake and synced to a mobile app on a smartphone.

    The team worked evenings and weekends for 7 months before being accepted into the Sprint Mobile Health Accelerator Program powered by Techstars in March 2015. The program was a 3 month-long intensive on-site experience in Kansas City, MO in which 10 mobile-health companies selected from around the world received funding and mentorship to accelerate their businesses. Now the team works between Minneapolis and Chicago, where they are hard at work bringing the product to life, and staying hydrated.

    Lazarus Artisan Goods‘s story = their artisans’ stories, which chronicle the courage and determination required to invest in oneself.

    In rural Honduras, young people are often pulled out of school before 6th grade in order to support their farming-focused family. Although it feels impossible to imagine, it tells of a worldwide reality. Lazarus Artisan Goods artisans begin as students in a 3-year paid vocational program by our sister organization, Mission Lazarus. Students go to school for free, including their books, a daily lunch, and a daily stipend. Lazarus Artisan Goods equip them with marketable skills so they can support themselves and their families for years to come. 

    Students learn to apply familiar farming concepts to themselves and their future. By graduation, they understand that the reward for investing in yourself is a lifetime of dignity and purpose and grow to become tenaciously committed to bettering their lives and the lives of their families.

    100% of Lazarus Artisan Goods profits go back into these educational programs. The artisans love what they do, and they couldn’t do it without your purchases.

    Handstand Kitchen® Unveils New Hot Cocoa Bomb Collection

    New from Handstand Kitchen®, the Ultimate Hot Cocoa Bomb Set (BKS-HCBULT, MSRP $29.99) arrives just in time for holiday gift giving, capturing the cocoa bomb sensation that got its start on TikTok and became one of the hottest trends for 2020 and 2021.

    Part of Handstand Kitchen’s new Hot Cocoa Bomb Collection, the deluxe 18-piece set is one of four unique cocoa bomb sets available to ship October 1 and features an exclusive embossed silicone mold, tools and recipes that help users design endless hot cocoa bomb creations that are easy to make, fun to enjoy and giftable.

    The special silicone mold is reusable and features heart, sprinkles and drizzle patterns, designed to make four expertly shaped cocoa bombs that are ready to decorate. Each set in the collection features a QR Code on the box that links to exclusive recipes, how-to videos and cocoa bomb inspiration.

    “After 15 years of being in this business, I have never seen such excitement around a collection before. From national retailers to mom and pop stores, this collection has been well received across the board, and our presales are skyrocketing,” said Yvette Garfield, owner and founder of Handstand Kitchen. “The combination of cocoa bombs being both a super-hot trend and a social media phenomenon will make this our strongest collection to date, and I believe these sets will continue to do extremely well into 2022, for Valentine’s Day and beyond.”

    The Ultimate Hot Cocoa Bomb Set includes a silicone spatula, chocolate scraper, chocolate brush, silicone melting pot with lid and recipes, making it easy to handcraft uniquely flavored hot cocoa bombs in endless flavor combinations. The set has printed bags and stickers for gifting and original recipes like Classic Hot Cocoa Bombs, Dark Chocolate Peppermint Hot Cocoa Bombs and Pumpkin Spice Hot Cocoa Bombs.

    The collection features four curated sets, one for every cocoa connoisseur. From the Ultimate Hot Cocoa Bomb Set to the I ♥️ COCOA BOMBS Intro Set, a great fit for kids, to the giftable Cocoa Bomb Mini Set to the basic I ♥️ COCOA BOMBS Silicone Mold (8 cavity), which offers just the silicone mold, all sets include the QR Code link for recipes and inspiration.

    Designed for ages six and up, the Ultimate Hot Cocoa Bomb Set and the entire Hot Cocoa Bomb Collection feature the same premium quality BPA free cookware and utensils that have long been the standard of Handstand Kitchen’s line of bakeware.

    The silicone cocoa bomb mold and silicone melting pot with lid are oven, freezer, microwave, and top rack dishwasher safe, and temperature safe from -40°F to 428°F (-40°C to 220°C). The silicone utensils are top rack dishwasher safe. All other utensils should be hand washed.

    The cocoa bomb craze, which started on TikTok, involves spreading melted chocolate into round half sphere molds to create chocolate shells, and then filling half of the shells with hot cocoa mix (and any desired add-ins, such as mini marshmallows and chocolate chips) and topping the filled shell with the remaining chocolate shell to make a round cocoa bomb. Once the halves are sealed into one round cocoa bomb, it can be drizzled, sprinkled and decorated. To experience the cocoa bomb effect, place a cocoa bomb in a large mug, pour steaming hot milk over the top and watch it burst open to reveal the hidden treats inside.

    Handstand Kitchen® is a woman owned and run business that has been inspiring young creators since 2007. While the products have evolved from a single cookbook into complete cooking sets for kids and adults and innovative crafting kits, too, the company mission remains the same: to bring joy through creating together. Find hot cocoa bombs and the entire Handstand Kitchen collection at https://handstandkitchen.com
