If you’ve been following my blog, then you know the popularity of creating your own chocolate candy bars at two websites that I have reviewed: Chocri and Chocomize. Chocri originated in Germany and due to its popularity decided to try the U.S. markets and with their recent launch it has been successful and popular. Chocomize company which is based in the U.S. has had great success as well. This is not just a fade but very much “in style” and a growing trend. However, I would LOVE to see non-chocolate “create my own gummy candy” for example!

So yesterday I saw in the news that the Hershey Chocolate World visiting center will offer visitors a chance to make their own chocolate as well. How cool is that? If you check out the Chocri video demo that I did you saw my excitement creating the candy bar but imagine in the chocolate factory creating your own chocolate! Well its possible if you visit the Hershey Chocolate world during this Summer 2010.

Valentines Day is right around the corner, so I would highly recommend using any of those create my own chocolate websites, because it adds a special touch as a Valentines Candy gift!

Below is a screenshot of my order if you’re interested. After testing all of the bars, for me the white chocolate topped it off. Of course, I’m biased to white chocolate because it’s my favorite. I specifically liked the mix of the butter pecan drops and the sprinkle of gold flakes! I was surprised by the good quality of chocolate. It was really soft and rich in flavor.

The concept of creating your own chocolate is awesome and I’m happy to see there is competition in this sector. Back a month ago I did a review of another chocolate creation company and how easy it is to order. With Chocomize is it just the same and it is made very fast! There are so many ways to use the Chocomize company: they are great for giving gifts, corporate gifts, wedding favors and even teams. Although I’m not the biggest chocolate freak, I love the concept and especially when the chocolate is as tasty as what I designed! I love saying that!!

The only difference in ordering online using Chocomize and Chocri is that with Chocri I named my bars! That was fun and exciting! Valentines Day is right around the corner so imagine designing a chocolate bar with hearts and gold sprinkles?!

That you can’t buy in stores and created by you adds the special touch!
