Next time you wander through the specialty food aisle in Whole Foods, you may want to look for the Colts name for a product with local ties. And no, it has nothing to do with the Indianapolis football team.
Colts Chocolates Co.'s Bella Bark is made with crispy rice cereal, plus the addition of cherry almonds, caramel pecans or peanut butter almonds.
Their signature products range from Colts Bolts, a puck-sized peanut butter cup with all-natural peanut butter topped with almonds and sandwiched between layers of chocolate; Bolt’s Bites, golf ball-sized versions of the Bolt; and Marie McGhee’s Bumble Bees, the Colts take on a turtle.“We bill our products as a modern twist on classic chocolates,” said Peterson, a civil engineer by trade, now partner in Colts Chocolate.“It’s something like you never tasted before,” he said. “Super rich.
The chocolate itself is sourced from the Barry Callebaut facility in the Southwest Side neighborhood of Archer Heights, part of a Switzerland-based chocolate company with its U.S. headquarters in Chicago — a change in production brought on by the new owners.Peterson, a former Barrington resident and LaPorte, Indiana, native, bought the Nashville-based Colts in September 2018 with his cousin, Doherty and Smith .
“I was thinking if we can get into at least the Midwest region of Whole Foods, I’ve got a pretty good foothold as far as family, friends, and school connections where if we get the word out, people will be able to recognize the Colts brand,” said Doherty, a former BMO Harris employee. “I think we got added in June to all the stores in the Midwest. It’s been really cool to see a chocolate brand from Nashville get welcomed in the Chicago area.
And while the mainstays keep customers returning, Doherty said Colts Chocolate encourages its social media followers to suggest new chocolate products for the company to try on a monthly basis. The Colts team is looking to move forward with the Jolt, a coffee-infused Bolt-esque product where coffee beans are in the chocolate.Fans whose ideas become a product of the month receive a $100 gift card.
