About Royal Treat
The inspiration behind Royal Treat started from a love of jewelry and playing dress up as a kid. When I began to think about how chocolate could fit into our lives through existing moments, my mind went to the feelings of getting ready for an event, going out to see friends, or starting out my day in a good headspace. The ritual of putting on my jewelry is an integrated moment that allows me to slow down and appreciate feeling elegant. I wanted to see how chocolate could play into those feelings of reward and nostalgia through form and packaging exploration.
