Choc Create Review and Giveaway - Chocolate Your Way

What is your idea of the perfect chocolate bar?  Is it a Hershey's or a Hershey's with almond?  Maybe it's a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup?  Or maybe your idea of the perfect chocolate bar is being able to create your own!


With Choc Create you can do just that, create your own chocolate bars.  You choose your chocolate (milk, dark or white) and then you choose what goodies to add to it.  Making the perfect chocolate bar especially for you (or a loved one, if you choose to be so kind)!

I'll be the first to admit that I LOVE chocolate and if I'm going to eat sweets, then it's almost always going to include chocolate.  I even have a "chocolate drawer" in the fridge.  Even with my recent commitment to get healthier and lose weight, it's all about moderation.  


I was recently given the delicious opportunity of creating and enjoying two chocolate bars from Choc Create.  At first, I was totally overwhelmed.  So many mouth-watering choices that I had no idea even where to begin.  There are over 90 add-in choices.  Everything from fruits and nuts to candy and spices.  

Add-in ingredients start at just $0.35.  The most expensive add-in I found was $3.50 (23K gold flakes).  Although the vast majority of them are less than $1.00.  The possibilities are endless!


After what seemed like an eternity, I finally made my two choices.  I chose a white chocolate bar with mini Valentine hearts for my daughter and a milk chocolate bar with sunbeams for my son.  (sunbeams are rainbow chocolate covered sunflower seeds)

I love the fact that when you place an order from Choc Create, you know your order is going to be fresh.  After all, they are making your own personal chocolate creation that has to be "made to order!"

I'll be honest, I was totally expecting my two chocolate bars to arrive in a plain box or envelope.  To my surprise, it arrived beautifully packaged in a decorative box with ribbons. 


Each chocolate bar had a label with the ingredients listed.  Also included on that label was a "best used by" date.  Our happens to be 4/25/11, 3 months away.  However, I honestly don't see how anyone could keep one around the house for that long without eating it all.

Choc Create chocolate bars are delicious.  The chocolate is smooth, creamy and melts in your mouth.
