No Es Pecado Chocolates

What No Es Pecado Chocolates does

No Es Pecado Chocolates is a privately held Chilean premium chocolate producer established in 2021 and headquartered in Santiago. The company operates as a craft "creative studio" that produces artisanal chocolates from cacao sourced in Peru and Colombia, with manufacturing based in Chile. Its catalog spans seven core product lines — bonbons (Bombones), Easter chocolates (Pascua) including 3D-printed personalized bunnies, chocolate bars (Barritas), chocolate-coated nuts and coffee (Grageados), 50g tablets (Tabletas), premium gift boxes (Regalos) co-branded with partners such as Garden Destilería, and customized corporate gifts (Regalos Corporativos). Dietary inclusivity is a deliberate positioning pillar, with vegan, sugar-free (using sucralosa), and gluten-free variants across most SKUs.

The underlying technology stack is light: a Shopify-hosted e-commerce storefront (no public API), 3D-printed PLA molds for personalized Easter figures produced in partnership with FackMac, and proprietary chocolate formulations. Distribution is multi-channel — own Shopify DTC store, Bluexpress nationwide delivery across Chile, same-day Providencia pickup, Uber Eats on-demand in select Santiago neighborhoods, and the Somos Lokal wholesale platform offering up to 30 days credit to retailers, cafés, hotels, and gourmet shops.

The business model is one-time-purchase across three streams: DTC consumer sales (unit prices from $990 to $49,990 CLP), B2B corporate gifting (custom packaging, logo personalization, design consultation), and wholesale bulk sales. Pricing is unit-based with free shipping on orders over $30,000 CLP within the Santiago metro. The company is founder-led with 1-10 employees and no disclosed external funding, revenue, or institutional ownership.
