Here at Chocomize, customizing ingredients in premium Belgian chocolate bars is what we love to do. We have had a lot of luck and a lot of fun building personalized chocolate bars for our customers, and we hope that it has been just as much fun designing and receiving your bars.
However, we're always looking for ways to improve and expand our business and we were wondering the other day: what other forms could mass chocolate customization take? If people like to have their own tasty combinations of toppings and treats on their candy bars, then what other items in the chocolate world might people like to customize for their own preferences (or for chocolate gifts).
Since we like to keep our collective finger on the pulse of the chocolate industry, we have come up with a few options so far in our brainstorming:
1. Customizable Chocolate Milk: Okay, you're probably thinking, "Chocolate milk is chocolate milk. I can get it at any store. Why would I want to customize it?" Well, there are methods that people use, primarily available in Europe up until now, of melting chocolate into milk from what looks like a chocolate popsicle. The milk is heated and the chocolate melts of the end of the "popsicle" to flavor your (hot) chocolate milk with premium, high-quality chocolate. What we have in mind are things like: white chocolate milk with a slight orange aroma, or dark chocolate with raspberries. The kind of things that are more special than the same old stuff you find in supermarkets.
2. Customizable Chocolate Truffles: We've all (hopefully) tasted the deliciousness of a chocolate truffle. The sweet, succulent taste of the soft chocolate, often with a little something filling it in the middle. Now, imagine you get to choose what is in the middle of your chocolate truffle, what type of chocolate you want (dark, milk, or white), and even the shape of your truffle. There are probably even more things that people would like to specify. Before we think about all the details, though, we just wanted to run these ideas by you to see what you think.
Would you be interested? Do you have any other chocolate items that you would like to see us customize to your choosing one day? Please, let us know in the comments section here or on our Facebook page.

This is a fantastic site! My daughter stumbled on it and sent it to me. I am an event planner, and look forward to sharing this site with my clients. Also, I look forward to making my own creations! Did you ever hear of putting poprocks into chocolate? There is a candy in Isreal that does this, and my daughter had it and loved it. We have been looking for it ever since. If this is something you would do, please let me know.
Thank you,

Great to hear that you like those ideas. Again, we will have to see which options are doable and we will keep you posted on our progress. ;-)
@ Bonnie: We can't put the pop rocks in the chocolate for technical reasons but Pop Rocks are available as a topping in our creation station!
Ooh, truffles would be awesome. Customizing the shape and filling would be really fun. I'm guessing there'd have to be a limit on how many ingredients can go in the filling. But toppings could be more diverse- think of a box of truffles, with a strawberry truffle with one black raspberry on top, and a nutty truffle with powdered nuts on top. The various combination would be awesome! You could use several concepts of the chocolate bars on a smaller scale for truffles!
Especially creating our own, down to the shape!!
Customized Truffles would be super. Just think of party favors .....I would specifically be interested in them for wedding favors.........hope it happens!!
