Sweet Team Spotlight: Nida Haque of JustChocol8 by Nida
- Apr 2, 2025
We’re so excited to introduce another new addition to our Stover’s Sweet Team family — Nida Haque, known online as JustChocol8 by Nida! Based in Atlanta, GA, Nida brings a heart full of passion, a soul full of sweetness, & hands that craft the most divine chocolate creations. From viral cocoa bombs to stunning knafeh bars (also known as Dubai Bars), she’s got the magic touch & we’re so honored to have her as part of our team!
Her Sweet Journey
Baking began as a form of relaxation for Nida as a comforting escape during her intense days as a medical school student. When the world slowed down in 2020 due to the pandemic, she dipped her toes (& soon her whole self) into chocolate-making, starting with hot cocoa bombs.
The response? Overwhelming love from friends & family & the beginning of a beautiful chocolate journey!
Since then, Nida’s treats have only grown more creative & delicious! Her sweet offerings now include staples like chocolate covered strawberries, Oreos, pretzels, cookiestix, cake pops, dates & now her signature Dubai Chocolate Bars!
What inspired Nida to turn her passion into a sweets business?
Social media mentors & fellow treat makers lit the spark & she’s now proudly part of that very same community of treat makers. Through her Instagram page, Nida showcases her gorgeous creations while sharing the love & knowledge she’s gathered along her journey.
One of the most rewarding parts of this journey?
Finding confidence, building friendships, & creating a “chocolate family” that supports & uplifts one another! Becoming a member of Stover & Company’s Sweet Team, Nida says is “a dream come true.”
While her fans claim everything she makes is amazing (we couldn’t agree more), Nida’s top-selling treats shift depending on the season. From hot cocoa bombs to nut-stuffed, chocolate-covered dates & her famous Dubai inspired pistachio knafeh chocolate bars — Nida’s creations are a hit year round.
“We are convinced you can’t make a bad product. Everything is delicious!”
Says one of Nida’s loyal fans!
Stover & Company Love
Nida discovered Stover & Company through social media & was instantly hooked by the quality of our products & the family values behind the company. She uses our Eleven o’one European Deluxe Line for dipping & molding her treats thanks to its smooth texture & rich taste. She relies on our Sweet Shoppe Melting Wafers for her decorative work — especially our Ultra White, Milk Chocolate, & variety of colored melting wafers.
Nida’s go-to treat are her world famous Almond Joy Chocolate-Covered Dates! These stuffed Medjool dates are toasted almonds & shredded coconut before they are dipped into our melted Eleven o’One Milk Deluxe Wafers (cooled to 92–94°F). To finish them off, Nida tops the dates with a roasted almond & coconut sprinkle. *Chef Kiss!*
Nida’s top advice for beginners?
“Persevere. Chocolate work takes time, patience, & lots of practice. Don’t get discouraged!”
One final tip from Nida: She cools her cake pops & dates just slightly before dipping for a faster set time & smoother finish. Oh & no piping bags here! Nida swears by fine tipped drizzle bottles for her intricate chocolate designs!
