After reading different schools of design thinking, the three most important aspects of it I believe are: Empathy, Brainstorm, and Build (EBB).
Empathize - Chocolate is something that people reach for when they need comfort. Understanding what makes people tick, what people reach for when they need comfort, is the key to design thinking.
Brainstorm - Just like coming up with what you are going to eat for the week, when you are design thinking you need to come up with ideas to try. I feel like this is a crucial process, because it lets you be the most creative. If you don't brainstorm, you have one idea that you go with, and the first idea isn't always the best. Build - You build jam, and you need to build the idea from your brainstorming that you settled on. If you didn't end up with a product, what was the point?

Chocolate is perfect to represent empathy! Both in the comfort it brings and that so many of us bring it to others as an "I get you, and I get that you need chocolate right now," offering. Perfect!

Absolutely LOVE the thinking around chocolate as a need filler -- and I love how the pantry included that space for brainstorming in the shape of your weekly menu planner.
