Swiss Town Covered in Cocoa Snow
August 27, 2020
Let's take a moment to imagine snow during the summer. Gross, right? How dare I even bring it up! Snow in August isn't fun to think about (at least not in the northern hemisphere!), but what if that snow was... chocolate?
In the Swiss town of Olten on a warm Friday in August, this dream become a strange reality.

Milk Chocolate Lovers Series, part 2: Lindt Classic Recipe - Hazelnut
What do Lindt bars and my spouse have in common? I fell in love with them in college!
In fact, my future husband introduced me to my first Lindt bar. We’d only been dating a month before he left on a college trip over the winter holidays. I was very impressed when he returned to campus with a large quantity of assorted Lindt chocolate bars.
He carefully rationed each bar so we could appreciate them for the rare luxury they were and make them last as long as possible...

Lindt 90% Supreme Dark Review
May 9, 2016
I’m sure there are many who might look at a chocolate bar label with 90% cacao and cringe. That’s almost like eating unsweetened baking chocolate! One would have to be out of their mind to eat such a thing, right?
On the other hand, if you’re into super dark chocolate like me, you look at that label and smile. 90% has some serious chocolate impact to inflict!

Lindt’s Legal Case of Marketing Rights
May 29, 2012
Lindt and Spruengli have roots and origins dating back to 1845. It was all started by David Sprungli-Schwarz and his son Rudolf Sprungli-Ammann, who owned a small confectionery shop in the old town of Zurich, Switzerland, where major factories originated and robustly sprung up.
The legendary Lindt bunny, along with its golden foil and signature bell hanging around its neck, is readily recognizable to lots of children all over the world. But the company that has been mass-producing them has not been given any EU permit since it has been ruled that the bunny is not a distinctive character, said the European Court.

Daintree Estates: Chocolate from Down Under
October 24, 2011
"My dad makes chocolate" blurts out my 5 year old son to his school-mates at class assembly one morning. I'm not sure if that makes me Willy Wonka or just a really cool dad. But launching a brand new chocolate company is no walk in the park.
My friends are a little less enthusiastic; "aren't there enough chocolates already?" Their assumption is that we're trying to compete with the Cadbury's and Lindt's of the world by making something cheaper. Truth be known, there isn't any margin worth getting out of bed for in supermarket chocolates.
So what would make me think I have a snowball's chance in hell at making any profit at all in the chocolate game?

Mint Chocolate and Chocolate Mint
November 8, 2010
You say tah-may-toe, I say tah-mah-toe. Some say mint chocolate, and some say chocolate mint. Although often used interchangeably, there is a difference, technically speaking.
Mint chocolate is a variety of flavored chocolate, in this case, infused with mint flavoring. It can be used as a coating or as a stand alone chocolate bar. Since mint is added to dark, milk, and white chocolate, mint chocolate does not denote just one type of coating. Mint can be peppermint or spearmint or crème de menthe.
