New Ingredient Contest

A long time has passed since the last time we added new ingredients to the Creation Station. In the last contest, we (or better you!) found such awesome toppings as cookie dough, junior mints, and the ever-popular Kit Kats©. Over the past couple of weeks we have gathered all the new suggestions. Some of them were also suggested the last time but they did not make the top three like black licorice and rice krispies. Other toppings are completely new to us but sound absolutely delicious. And then, there are also some weird ones as always but you'll see.


We are going to try and find the new candidates in two steps. First, we want to make sure that everyone had a fair chance of suggesting their favorite new topping. In addition to the suggestions below, use the comments box to make additional suggestions. We will go though all of them and see which ones we can realistically work with (soft caramel, for example, would be awesome but our tests showed that it would just mess us the entire cellophane bag so we had to decide against it). On Thursday, we will then post the official poll where you actually get to vote on your favorites.


We are excited and can't wait to sample all of the suggestions!

oh, my other idea is a different chocolate drizzled all fancy on top.

http://www.charliescones.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/CHOCOLATE-DRIZZLE_POST1.jpg

that is an example of a drizzle, kiddies. ;)

For example, I order a white chocolate bar and get dark chocolate drizzled on top. Not the soft kind, the kind of chocolate that the bars are made of. (aka the type that will harden nicely.)

I guess Chai powder is alright... I've really been hoping you'd add some matcha tea...

Thanks for all the additional suggestions so far.
We are excited to see the results of the official poll later this week.

This will be awesome :lol:

@Diane: crystallized ginger is already on the list!

March 02, 2011

Why isn't there already a vanilla option? :eek: I know the white chocolate has notes of vanilla in it, but I would like the option to add vanilla pieces to say a dark chocolate and coffee bean bar with gold flakes...talk about decadent! ;-)

Here are my suggestions: crystalized ginger, mint, vanilla, raw sugar, honey, brown butter, pear, fig, Earl Grey tea, matcha, candied orange peel, and marzipan.

March 02, 2011

maybe cheddar cheese? oo or green or black tea! also I definitely like lauren's idea of drizzles too! Like white choco on a milk choco bar or something. Or even fruit flavored drizzles maybe like rasberry??

March 02, 2011

Def need more glutenfree vegan options! Oh, wait, IS the dark chocolate vegan? Cuz if not, I can't have one and that would make me really sad! :(

My suggestions are: potato chips, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, protein powder, almond butter, popcorn, truffle, salish salt (it's got an intense smokey flavor that I think would be awesome in a chocolate bar!), ummm...can't think of any more right now! But I would appreciate knowing if the dark chocolate bar is dairy free!!! Thanks!!!
