I think I’m in love.
Last night I came across the greatest idea I’ve ever wished I had.
It’s called chocri.
Chocri is a German-based company that specializes in build-your-own chocolate bars. According to their website, they take the idea of food customization to its most promising apex – the blendification of bespoke bars. Considering what a trend food individualization has become over the last few years (as I discussed in my article about Sweet Flour Bake Shop last month), I can completely understand how this idea came about; I just hope it proves popular enough to make its way to Canada.
On the chocri website, you get to choose from the 3 basic chocolates (white, dark or milk) and then add up to 5 (of more than 90 potential) toppings. There are fruits, nuts, spices, candies, granular additions like seeds, etc, and decorative elements like dragees and sugar pieces just waiting to grace your personalized edible confections. Once you’ve selected your toppings, or chosen one of their signature blends, chocri will create and ship your treat directly to you within 14 days. And that is what they call, a fait accompli.
As of this writing it appears that chocri is only available in the US and select countries in Europe, but perhaps if we all politely email-bomb(ard) them, they’ll add Canada to the list of countries to conquer next. I’m already trying to formulate a loophole that will get some of this potential genius into my belly.
Because really, isn’t it about time you got to have it your way?
Now if only they would add bacon to the list of toppings, I’d be all set!
Until next time…
