A few weeks ago, I discovered CHOCRI, a German startup that allows you to create CUSTOMIZED CHOCOLATE BARS. There are over 100 toppings to choose from and the chocolate bases (milk, dark, and white) are organic, fair trade chocolates from BELGIUM (FANCY!!). Beyond delivering delicious SCHOKLADE, 1% of Chocri's revenues are donated to DIV Kinder, which is an organization that helps to provide the homeless and orphaned children of the Ivory Coast with shelter and supervision. A third of the world's cacao beans come from the Ivory Coast so farms utilize child labor in order to remain in business. Because of this, the future of Ivory Coast children is in jeopardy.Take a few moments to explore the website and have fun making your own chocolate creation while also doing a bit of good. There are tons of different dried fruits, spices, nuts, candies, grains, and decorations you can choose to suit your tastes and desires!!!!
I decided to create two different bars. The first was made of a milk chocolate base with dried apples, cinnamon, bourbon vanilla, and macadamia nuts. The second I wanted to be a bit more unconventional - so I mixed white chocolate with cornflakes, organic sesame seeds, and black sesame seeds (because you KNOW how much I love sesame and the cornflakes were inspired from Momofuku's Cornflake Marshmallow Cluster cookie). Both were absolutely DELICIOUS!!Chocri chocolate bars are a great treat for oneself and also make a great gift!! Be sure to place you order well in advance, however, because it takes about 2 weeks for these little bars of happiness to arrive from Germany!!
