synopsis During the turn of the 19th century, in a tiny town nestled somewhere in the Netherlands, a husband and wife had once run a very unsuccessful candy shop. Desperate, broke and starving they had decided to trade their souls to a demon in exchange for a recipe that would teach them how to make the most delicious chocolate in the world.

However, the demon tricked them and delivered a young child to their doorstep the next day. This was no ordinary baby though – for it was made of pure chocolate. Upon receiving this odd delivery, the guardians learned that if they raised her correctly, and took proper care of the young girl then she would grow beautiful and strong… and provide them with sweet chocolate, which would provide for them all.
