Pretzels and Caramel and Apples, Oh My!

Author: Kim | October 20, 2010 | Toppings

One of the ways we like to encourage topping diversity for optimum chocri creativity is highlighting certain toppings (or bases) for their national days (or months.)

chocolate pretzelsOctober is a particularly delicious month when it comes to foods being honored. Three items in our toppings section have a national food items in October, and we've marked down all three for the rest of the month.

First up is Apple Bits, marked down from 1.00 to 0.50. Tasty and popular Organic Salt Pretzels have been reduced from 0.70 to 0.35 and our Caramel Chocolate Drops have dropped from 1.10 to 0.55. These prices will be active until the end of October, so get them while they're in stock and on sale!

Want to try all three? Don't forget that when you order five bars, we include a sixth surprise bar on us!



Candy Corn is possibly the most classic of all Halloween candies, one you don't want it to miss on your personalized chocolate bar for the spooky season! So here we are - starting today, Candy Corn is available in the Confections section of the website. There's no image, but don't fret, I took a big picture for you of the delicious candy corn right here:

Halloween Candy Chocolate Bar with Candy Corn

While the resemblance of candy corn to actual corn kernels is apparent, I personally also think that this Halloween candy classic reminds me of teeth or fangs about to bite your neck - maybe that's why it's so popular around this time of the year? Of all the candy corn, about two thirds are consumed around Halloween.

Candy Corn was invented in the 1880s by the Goerlitz Confectionary Company - whose founder was a German immigrant. And today, the German chocolate company chocri adds it as a topping to your custom chocolate bar!

Candy Corn is fat free, and its taste may remind you of marshmallows.

Enjoy! Create your Halloween Chocolate Bar with Candy Corn today!


New Topping of the Month: Jelly Beans!

Author: Carmen | October 1, 2010 | Toppings

It's October! It's a new month! And that means - it's time for a new topping of the month. This month, it's Jelly Beans!

Jelly Beans on chocolate

Jelly Beans are well known and require no introduction. Delicious little beans full of flavor - did you know there are 50 different flavors? That's not quite as many as the customized chocolate bars you can make on our site (27 billion), or even toppings (100), but that's still a lot!

Also, did you know that in the 20s, a "jelly bean" was a guy who tried to look stylish to impress women, but didn't have much else going for him. You can be sure that your custom chocolate bar will look stylish AND taste great if you add this topping to it!

What's your favorite Jelly Bean flavor? Strawberry Cheesecake, or Juicy Pear? Let us know in the comments!


Limited Edition Fall Harvest Bar

Author: Kim | September 28, 2010 | ChocolateToppings

If our Facebook friends are any indication, everyone's excited about the imminent arrival of fall and all the things associated with it.

apples and chocolateMornings are cooler, and so are nights when the sun sets and the air smells like distant fires and a little bit like winter. Pumpkin picking trips are planned, Halloween is looming and summer becomes a distant memory. (Can you tell we're looking forward to it, too?) So we created a bar for everyone who's ready for raking, and long walks and harvest moons- from the description:

"Apple picking, bonfires, crisp nights, harvest moons and soft hoodies- does anyone not love the start of fall? We've added the "Fall Harvest Bar" to evoke the sensory associations we link with fall, and included our most autumnal ingredients. Apple Bits, Cinnamon, Bourbon Vanilla, Mini Cookies and creamy Milk Chocolate- like the remaining leaves, our "Fall Harvest Bar" is only here for a short while."

You can find our Fall Harvest Bar at the top of recommended creations- at $2 off the standard price, so in addition to being a tasty fall treat, it's also a fabulous deal.
