Do they still sell President's Choice Belgian Chocolate Mousse Cups anywhere?

The only proof I have of its existence are photos from someone's chocolate blog from 2010

Here's what they looked like on the inside.

I remember eating these around the late 2000's but I haven't been able to find a box in any recent years even when searching online. Does anyone know if its still around?

bounty chocolate

hi, does anybody else know of this bounty chocolate bar that is NOT the one with coconut in it? i swear i remember having one a couple years ago. i googled it because i really liked it and i saw results on the difference between the bounty chocolate bar i had and the popular bounty chocolate bar that has coconut in it. the bounty that i had had a filling that kind of looked like a mars bar or a twix. i tried searching for it but all that comes up is the bounty chocolate bar with coconut and i feel like im going crazy. please help 😭😭😭

tl;dr is there another chocolate bar called bounty that has no coconut in it at all? totally different kind of chocolate bar than the one with coconut, but it is also called bounty?

Trying to find the name of a chocolate from my childhood

This is from the 90s. Not sure if Indian or foreign. It was a wafer chocolate which came in single packs (like Rafaelo might have been in a bigger pack). Dark brown to Brown wrapping with a snowy peak image on the front. The wafer was a square shaped cuboid. It was chocolate covered and had a fine mesh pattern stamped, I think on both sides.

Anyone remember anything like this? Do they still make it?

Copying over a comment below I made in a thread about the “super rich” and how some, of course, are big snobs but others are humble and will remember a small gift of chocolate, long after receiving it.

My mother, a wonderful artist of many mediums, including chocolate, had a saying (not sure if she coined it or not):

Be known as the person who has chocolate.

This has worked well for me in so many ways like when I was paycheck to paycheck working at big law firms… chocolate lured over C-level ppl like John Roberts (pre-scotus). Years later it drew over top brass and talent at big ad agencies when I was a working creative. Cut to today, I gave a Pure protein bar to one of the stable guys where my wife keeps her horse.

Doesn’t matter who ppl are, they all appreciate it and it started up good talks maybe even friendships. It was a pleasant surprise to have the “stable boy” (a grown Guatemalan man) say to me and my wife, “Thank you so much! Your husband always has chocolate and he always shares it. Everyone appreciates it so much!”

I didn’t know he even remembered that since it’s been months since I’d seen him.

RIP Mom.

Dark chocolate [75+%] recommendations?

Looking for some tasty dark chocolate to have neat as a diet snack . Amul isn't really an option since while their Twilight bars taste good and are from their allegedly well sourced series , they're only really 50% cacao and their base offering tastes bland . I'd love some recommendations for new brands to try :)

Wild developments in the chocolate world...

https://www.fastcompany.com/91110812/ferrero-mars-chocolate-families-wealthier-than-2-largest-cocoa-producing-countries

Let that sink in. And cacao prices almost quadrupled in just a few months. "Interesting" times ahead...

Circle K Peanut Butter Milk Chocolate Bar

It’s so waxy and dry… I was hoping it was expired so I had something to blame.

I can only blame myself for not going with the classic Reese’s.

-ashamed and sad-

Trying to make chocolate cheaply using a meat grinder

When I was looking around for equipment to make Chocolate, I realize most of the equipment for Chocolate making are very bulky and consumes a lot of electricity.

This doesn’t seem feasible since I live full time out of my Toyota Camry while I move around in the USA to evangelize cacao from the Amazon rainforest grown using regenerative technique. A huge part of the reason is because I power everything using my 200 watts solar panels.

I am right now exploring different ways to make chocolate out of my car using energy efficient methods that do not consume too much electricity

This is one of the method I’ve tried today out here in the California high desert. Enjoy! 🤩🙏

PS: if you can think of other energy efficient ways I love to learn more about it too

Premier Tilting Melanger

I have recently purchased a Premier Tilting Melanger and there is a motor/gear belt that it came with - is this a spare or am I meant to add this myself by dismantling it? 

I've tried unscrewing the base bit (the maroon part) but I can't seem to lift it off to expose the motor/gear bit...if that makes sense?

Any help would be appreciated!

Twirl - Cadbury

Just bought a twirl bar today with my meal deal and it tastes like Hershey's, not usual Cadbury's. Anyone else noticed the same?

Chocolate bon bons - cocoa butter question

Hey so I've started making chocolate bon bons and they're coming out really well so far. However I'm having an issue with my coloured cocoa butter. I'm tempering it correctly because it is coming out of the molds without flaking, however I still find when i bring it down and then up to 29°c is it too runny, when I want to pain onto molds there's not enough definition. I'm mixing my own cocoa butter with cocobutter concentrated colour. What could I be doing wrong?

Help: Dark Chocolate Packaging

Hello all, I am launching a dark chocolate brand but am having trouble finding someone to die fold wrap my bars with aluminum foil (as seen in photos). Any idea where I should look? I want to start with only a few hundred units to begin. Any machines I can purchase to do this which are relatively cheap? I am willing to do the process, but have not found any resources.

Thank you for your advice!
