Chocolate News Round Up

Creativity is abuzz in this week’s Chocolate Candy News, from bacon to strawberries to potato chips and free truffles, stay tuned for what’s hot (but not melting) this week!

Walkers Potato Chips released a new flavor: Chili and Chocolate Potato Crisps. The chocolate candy lover in me celebrates this, but the common sense in me fears it. Taquitos.net gave these treats a try and has the scoop.

Chocolate dipped strawberries are nothing new, but if you’re looking to create adult situations at your next fete, try these Chocolate dipped strawberries with Grand Marnier. Cook the Grand Marnier in with the melted chocolate and inject the berries for the ultimate in fruity booze and chocolate.

Did I hear say someone say Chocolate Bacon Cupcakes? Well you should because that’s apparently the thing to do this season with your cupcakes. I’ve tried bacon bourbon, Voodoo Donuts has the bacon doughnut and then of course there’s bacon explosion (bacon weaved around sausage around bacon) but now bacon chocolate cupcakes on are on the rise!

And last but not least a chocolate truffle that’s supposed to help you lose weight? (Following the bacon cupcakes this seemed the most appropriate place to mention this news item.) Celebrate Truffles are supposedly to be eaten 20mins before a meal to help with appetite suppression. Chocolate Fingerprints has a full review and is offering a giveaway of these new found treats.
