March 25, 2010 Golden Ticket Shipped out
Our golden ticket has been sent out! For those of you who haven't heard, we are randomly sending out two golden tickets this month. We aren’t offering any tours of our chocolate factory (we don’t want anyone to fall into our river of chocolate) but whoever receives the ticket in their chocolate bar will receive the chocolate of the month club. They will get four specially designed bars at the beginning of each month for a total of three months!
There is still one more ticket left! Good luck to everyone who orders during the rest of the month, we’ll keep you updated on the winners.

March 20, 2010 Legend of the Easter Bunny
Easter is fast approaching (April 4th.) If you’re lucky, the Easter bunny might come by your house and leave you a basket of Chocomize bars! Have you ever wondered how the story of the Easter bunny came about? Yesterday we were busy making chocolate bars and we noticed that we were getting a lot of orders with chocolate Easter bunnies. We realized that we didn’t know how the legend of the Easter bunny originated, so we decided to do some research.
The first recorded stories of the Easter bunny occurred during the early 1600’s! It is based on the German fertility God ‘Oestre’. Her favorite animal was the rabbit because it symbolized fertility. Eggs (another popular Easter theme) were also closely associated with her because of their obvious representation of fertility. The Germans were also the first to create edible Easter bunnies which were made of sugar. The first Easter candy was created in Germany during the 1800’s. When Fabian found out that the legend of the Easter bunny AND the first Easter candy came from Germany, he was insufferable the rest of the day. Every time one of us made a chocolate bar with an Easter bunny or egg, he would lean over our shoulder and say in a smug voice “do you know who invented these delicious ingredients?” So if you’re worried that the Easter bunny might not bring you something good this year, check out our decorations tab where we have a lot of delicious Easter themed ingredients. Whether it is chocolate eggs or sugar ducks and rabbits, you’re Easter egg hunt should end with Chocomize! Leave a Comment | Comments (0)

March 16, 2010 Name Your Chocolate Bar!
We at Chocomize are all about customization. We already have a ton of ways you can customize your chocolate bar (see our previous blog posts for a detailed lists of all the ways you can customize at Chocomize.) Well we are proud to offer a new way: Name your own chocolate bar!
If you have ordered from us in the past day or two, you will have noticed a change. We have a brand new checkout! Throw out your username and password, you don’t need them anymore. We’ve made things a lot simpler and easier to manage so that you have an easier time ordering your chocolate. The only thing that didn’t change was our great security system. We are a completely secure website, always have been and always will be. This means that you never have to worry about your information being compromised, you are always safe at Chocomize.
In addition to making things simpler in our checkout, we’ve added the ‘Name Your Bar’ feature. On the first page of the checkout, you have an option to write a name that will appear on the back of the packaging of your chocolate bar. If you look at the picture I took of the checkout, you will notice that I named my bar ‘Nick’s Awesome Bar’. So far we’ve been getting a lot of great responses to this feature and people have come up with a lot of creative names. Have any good ones? Also we should mention that it is FREE!
Let us know if you can think of some good names and we’ll come out with a blog post soon of some of the best ones. Thanks for being fans!

March 09, 2010 The Winners!
So the results are in...raspberry takes first, lavender takes second, and chocolate nibs takes third! We’ve had a lot of great input over the past week and we are very excited to add the three ingredients.. Peanut butter cups, cookie dough, and milk duds weren’t very far behind. We might save these three and add them to the next list of ingredients. We taste tested all three of the winners today and they are absolutely delicious. We will be adding them to the website over the next couple days so stay tuned.
