Yay, chocri is getting some great recognition by THE food website in the U.S. and possibly worldwide: Epicurious!
Chosen as one of the few from a vast "flood" (so they say) of Valentine's Day chocolate contenders, here's what Epicurious had to say:
Chocri Customized Chocolate Bars
"If you're having trouble finding just the right chocolate for your special someone, it's time to go custom. Chocri, a German company that recently started filling orders in the U.S., makes customizable bars using organic fair trade chocolate from Belgium (bars start at $3.90). Customers choose dark, milk, or white chocolate, then pick from a selection of 80 plus toppings (there are 10 billion possible combinations). We created three pretty dynamite bars: milk chocolate with roasted almonds, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper; dark chocolate with sour cherries, cornflakes, sea salt, and toasted hazelnuts; and dark chocolate with hazelnut brittle and sea salt. To further personalize your gift, give your bar a name, which will appear on the package."
Here's the link to the actual article.
Speaking of names, here are the Top 5 chocri bar names of the week:
