In 2012, Dylan Butterbaugh started a bean-to-bar chocolate company called Manoa Chocolate Hawaii in Kailua on Oahu, with the goal of crafting high-quality chocolate bars using sustainable production methods. Dylan Butterbaugh started Manoa Chocolate as a project that combined his passions - science, sustainability, and chocolate. Butterbaugh searches for small farms from which to source cacao; about half of his chocolate is made using cacao from Hawai'i Island.
