Hello everyone. Great news! Thanks to your contribution, we can now give our packaging phrases to print, so that soon you will receive chocolate bars with your own packaging phrase in them.

Below are the Top 10 Packaging Phrases you determined:

Michaela wins the $50 coupon, Charnell the $20 gift certificate, and Michaela Number 2 can play with $10 chocri credit. If you want to make sure your chocri order has the new packaging, wait for a blog post on the topic - I'll make sure I'll let you know when we have them set to go.

Thanks everyone for contributing - we had some great ideas and many votes. We at chocri are determined to be and do the best we can, and we can only do that with your help. Thank you!

We here at chocri love giving you power that others just cannot give you. Besides the fact that with us, you can create your own chocolate bar and give it your own name, we love asking you for your opinion in big decisions such as our name (decided by a survey) and now... the inside of our packaging!

The past week or so we received great submissions from you and are now excited to put them up for a vote. You can vote from now until Friday.

We got a lot (a looot!) of great phrases, but only the 10 best ones (per your vote) will be printed in the inside of our packaging.

Take the survey (takes 3 minutes max): Vote now for your favorite packaging phrase!

Because there's so many of them, we allowed for multiple answers - just click on all the ones you like a lot, and we'll print the ones with the most votes. Thank you for your input! Remember: the submission with the best votes gets a $50 gift certificate, the runner up receives a $20 gift certificate, and the third place is rewarded with a $10 gift certificate.

Oh, and by the way - how was Valentine's Day? Got any cute or fun stories to share? The comment box is your playground...

p.s. We took the liberty to exclude or alter submissions that were grammatically incorrect or simply too long to fit in. Sorry!

Happy Friday everyone!

I hope you had a great week. We sure did, - I have many great names from you for you again! You love your personalized chocolate bars! Here we go, in no particular order, the nicest names of this week:

• Spice Rack (Dark Chocolate with Cinnamon, Ground Chili, Bourbon Vanilla and Black Sesame)

• doodoofutfut bark(Dark Chocolate with Cranberries, Caramel Chocolate Drops, Sea Salt and Nougat)

• Valentine Cocoa Elixir (Dark Chocolate with Roasted Almonds, Sea Salt, Real Gold Flakes, Coconut Shavings and Bourbon Vanilla)

• Sweet Dee's Sweets (Dark Chocolate with Ground Chili and Cayenne Pepper)

Aren't those fun?

Two more things:

Speaking of all this creativity, you can still send us your submissions for the phrases to be printed on the inside of your packaging! The picture on the left of this text shows the ideas flowing on our Facebook post - but really we take submissions any way you like... as a comment on this blog post, on our tumblr site. We'll then compile them all for you to vote on, and the 10 most popular ones- are printed! Imagine getting a chocolate bar in a packaging that you helped design!

Also, we're having a wine & spirit & chocolate tasting in New York coming up! On March 13th, we're pairing up with the amazing Bottlerocket in New York for an exquisite tasting. Personalized chocolate bar and wine combinations! Save the date! Saturday March 13, from 3-6pm More info.

Valentine's Day is on Sunday! Give the power to create.

Dear chocris,

We all know you're super creative. I mean, you create your own chocolate bars!
Today, we'd like your help and creativity for something else: The text in the inside of our packaging!

As we're developing our English packaging (yes,... a little late... sorry) we want to keep up something we've been doing in Germany: Our packages have 10 different slogans or comments in the inside. They are witty, sometimes rhyme and mostly make you laugh. We want to do the same in the U.S. And while we have a few, we want to incorporate YOUR ideas!

Give us your ideas in a comment to this post, as a Twitter mention to @chocridotcom or as a Facebook post on our wall. Or even as an email to carmen@chocri.com. We'll collect them all, and in the end, you can all vote on the Top 10. Deadline is February 15th.

Feel free to submit every idea you have, we don't want to limit your creativity. Please note that it has to be English, and short and sweet so it fits in the packaging above our URL. And we'll have to keep any offensive comments out, I'm sure you agree. Also keep in mind that you can't see the slogan/comment until after you ate some of the chocolate - or even, heaven help, after the chocolate's been eaten.

Of course we'll reward your creativity! The person whose idea gets the most votes receives a $50 chocri gift certificate. The runner up receives a $20 gift certificate, and the third place is rewarded with a $10 gift certificate.

What are you waiting for? Sharpen those pencils and start throwing those poetic concoctions.
