WHY NEBULA EXISTS

IT ALWAYS FELT LIKE THERE WERE ONLY THREE OPTIONS.

I was diagnosed pre-diabetic at a young age, and for years I struggled to balance sweet cravings with my health. I'd cut out sweets completely, and while it worked short-term, the moment I hit a number on the scale… I'd binge it all back.

“HEALTHY” BUT BLAND
SUGAR-FREE, BUT LOADED WITH ARTIFICIAL INGREDIENTS
DELICIOUS, BUT PACKED WITH SUGAR
SO I CREATED NEBULA.
Chocolate you don't have to negotiate with. Our bites are zero sugar, a good source of fiber, and still deliver a supernova of flavor. They're also free of artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols, dairy and gluten.
Now you can munch on chocolate without compromise.

HOW WE GOT HERE

NEBULA'S VOYAGE.

2003
"THE VACUUM" IS DIAGNOSED
Growing up, I was lovingly nicknamed "The Vacuum." No crumb was safe, and my appetite, especially for sweets, seemed endless. But at the ripe age of just 10 years old, my doctor delivered a reality check that hit harder than any childhood taunt. I was obese and pre-diabetic.

THE SWEET TOOTH, AGE 10
2004–2019
MY "GUILT-FREE" ERA
That moment kicked off a 15-year journey through the ups and downs of unhealthy dieting. Fad diets became my norm, and my adolescence cycled through phases of "guilt-free" snacking, only to binge treats the moment I hit a goal weight. Without proper nutrition education or a sustainable plan, I was caught in an exhausting loop, yearning for a better way.
2020
PANDEMIC EXPERIMENTATION
But then came 2020. Like so many, I found myself locked inside with endless hours to kill and a pantry full of temptations. My indulgence? CHOCOLATE, which quickly became a daily ritual. I knew I needed to stop, but rather than swearing off sweets, I decided to make my own.
2021
THE FIRST PRODUCT
Launched at the end of 2021, Nebula Snacks started with two zero sugar chocolate bars: a dark and an oat milk chocolate. While many enjoyed the flavor, the crew kept asking for smaller chocolates and exciting flavors. Back to the drawing board it was.
2023
CHOCOLATE BITES ARE BORN
After a year of reformatting and reformulating, I spoke to 85 different co-manufacturers to see who could bring my new vision to life: small, bite-sized filled chocolates, individually wrapped and ready to satisfy a craving whenever it hits.
2025
NEBULA HITS RETAIL
Two years of hitting the pavement: setting up tables, handing out samples, and proving these bites belong on retail shelves. Now available in 275+ stores nationwide, including Hy-Vee, Albertsons, Market Street, Wheatsville Co-op and more!
