Chocomize - Create Your Own Chocolate Bars $25 Gift Certificate Giveaway - Ends 1/29/10

What's Valentine's Day without Chocolate (or any day, really)?  I think that if I searched the internet I could probably find some obscure law in some country that states that you must give chocolates on Valentine's Day.  So, I was perusing the internet for my Valentine's Day Gift Guide and came across the Chocomize website.  This company customizes your chocolate bars any way you want.  Here's how it works:


First, you choose a base chocolate bar from three premium chocolate options: dark, milk or white. Once you have chosen your base chocolate flavor, you add up to five toppings. Choose your toppings from a selection of 80 fruits, nuts, herbs, spices, candy and decorations. Once you have finished designing the flavor combinations with all of your toppings the chocomize team will construct your bar by hand! Once they have finished crafting your personal chocolate bar they will have it shipped and on your doorstep within a few days.


I was a little overwhelmed by the selection of ingredients and knew that if I chose the toppings it would just end up tasting like a Snickers Bar.  So, I went out of my comfort zone and chose two of their most popular combinations.  I chose two bars with dark chocolate.  I am not a fan of dark chocolate, but I ordered them anyway.  They arrived within 2 days.  I had to rip into them immediately.  YUMMY!  I couldn't believe how much I liked the dark chocolate.  Here are the two bars I chose: Made with Dark Chocolate - 3.5oz (100g),
23 Karat Gold Flakes, Chocolate Butterfly, Strawberries, and Rose Petals.

The Romance Bar - $12.75

Made with Dark Chocolate - 3.5oz (100g), Black Peppercorns, Mini Chipotles and Cayenne Pepper.

The Spicy Special Bar $4.75

They both were incredibly delicious.  And the pricing is very reasonable for custom order chocolates!


And on a final note, I always favor companies that contribute to charities.  It shows the highest of character in my book.  Chocomize gives 10% of their profits to Team Fox (The Michael J. Fox Foundation), Action Against Hunger, and Doctor Without Borders.  In addition, when checking out, they offer the customer the option of making an additional donation to those three charities.  Please take the time to read about their company and founders HERE:

Good for any special person in your life and at such affordable prices.  Let your imagination go wild and custom order a chocolate just for them. Or, purchase a gift certificate and let them do the creating.  A fun and original spin on an oldie but goodie!
