New York Street Fair

berry_bar_packaging2

Chocomize is heading to the big city this weekend! The extremely handsome owners are going to be participating in a New York Street fair. We will be selling some of our favorite chocolate bars including our smores bar, summer bar, berry bar, and a bunch of other different combinations we thought would be pretty tasty. If you’re going to be in NY, come by and say hello. We will be located on Lexington Avenue between 23rd and 30th street. It will be pretty easy to spot us, we’ll be the guys with all the chocolate! Can’t wait to see and meet some of our friends.

Addition to the Chocomize Team

jim

What’s hotter than summer 2010? Chocomize would like to introduce summer intern Jim Brown to the staff. Jim hails from Valley Forge, PA and is a member of the Columbia Lightweight Rowing Team and Malta Boat Club on historic Boathouse Row on the Schuylkill River. Aside from enjoying time here at Chocomize and rowing, Jim spends time playing with his dog Rosie and going to the Jersey Shore with friends in the summer. His first custom chocolate bar creation featured peanut butter drops and cranberries and hopefully he will bring some enthusiastic energy to the already hard-working Chocomize team.

Ingredient Contest

Over the past month we’ve been getting a lot of requests and suggestions for ingredients that we should add to our website. We wish that we could add all of them but unfortunately that would be almost impossible (there have just been too many.) Here are six of the most requested ingredients in the past month. We can’t decide on which ones too add, so we’re going to let you guys do it for us. Vote in the comments section for your favorite ingredient, and recommend some to add to the list. We’ll add four more to this list and then the top three most popular will be added to our website!

 


puffed rice

black liquoriceBlack Licorice: This delicious candy is made from the extract of the licorice root. It’s extremely delicious on its own, but tastes even better in a custom chocolate bar.

 


Puffed Rice: Puffed rice is exactly what it sounds like…puffed rice. It’s pretty popular in a lot cereals and adds a great texture to your personalized chocolate bar.


kit katKit Kat: This popular candy bar consists of a wafer covered in chocolate. We would break the bar up into parts and place it throughout your Chocomize bar.220px-swedishfish

 


Swedish Fish: Swedish fish were actually invented by a Finish company but have been marketed in the US by a Swedish company. It’s kind of confusing to us, but either way it would be awesome for you chocolate candy bar.


junior mints

 

Junior Mints: Junior mints are a popular candy that has a mint filling surrounded by dark chocolate. Here’s a fun fact: over 15 million are produced each day (a little more than the amount of Chocomize made each day…)

cookie dough bits



Cookie Dough: This is a popular addition for ice cream and would be a great ingredient for your chocolate bar. We would use cookie dough bites, the popular candy usually sold in movie theatres.

Ingredient of the Week: Graduation Plaque

congrats_grad_plaqueIt’s graduation season! Summer is quickly approaching and nothing marks the transition in seasons like the end of the school year. Whether it’s someone in your family graduating from high school or a friend finishing up college, it’s a good bet you know someone graduating from school. This brings us to the ingredient of the week, our graduation plaques.


If you’re searching for the perfect graduation gift, look no more. Our personalized chocolate bars make the perfect gift. Send the right message with our ‘Congratulations Grad’ plaque. We actually had a lot of corny messages that we decided not to use such as ‘Congrats on your sweet success’… Our custom chocolate bars are really popular not just for graduation gifts, but also for graduations parties of which we offer great discounts and the ability to customize your own message.


My brother is graduating from college soon and is going to get a milk chocolate bar with a ‘Congratulations Grad’ plaque, sour patch kids, chocolate candy pieces, and gummi bears. I would say sorry for ruining the surprise, but my family is pretty used to getting Chocomize chocolate bars for gifts (I still haven’t heard anyone protesting.) What kind of chocolate bar would you want for your graduation?

How small is the world?

what are the odds

 

Yesterday I had one of those moments that are just too unlikely to be true. My parents are currently on a trip through Asia and they told me a story last night that I thought you would like to hear about. They were taking a train tour through North Vietnam and happened to be sitting next to two young guys from the UK who were taking a gap year before university to discover the world. The guys were chatting with my parents and asked if they had kids and what they were doing. The first thing my dad told them was that one of his sons started a chocolate company in the United States and told them the whole nine yards about Chocomize.

Ok, a quick rhetorical question in case you have fallen asleep already:

What are the odds that two 19 year old guys from the UK, went to a party in Los Angeles that had Chocomize party favors, only to meet my German parents on a train in Northern Vietnam? Impossible? Well, once my dad said the word Chocomize, the guys smiled and knew exactly what was going on. How could he forget the delicious custom chocolate bars at the Academy Awards party in L.A? Well, I guess the world really is small sometimes.

Ever had a moment like this? Share it with us!

Chocomize T-Shirts

chocomize t-shirts

So if you’re a Chocomize fan, you’ll know that we are constantly updating and changing things on our website. It’s actually an easier job than it might seem. We just sit back and listen to what you guys say, and then we try to get it done. You could say we aren’t the creative types… So what have people been telling us lately? Give us some Chocomize t-shirts!

 

We did some research and we decided that it probably wouldn’t be a good idea to make the t-shirts ourselves, we want to focus on making those delicious personalized chocolate bars. What we did instead was to set up a t-shirt shop at another company. All you have to do to get an awesome Chocomize t-shirt is visit www.Chocomize.spreadshirt.com. We have men’s and women’s shirts and will be adding more designs pretty soon. In the meantime, show everyone how big of a fan you are by getting a Chocomize t-shirt!
