The next time you’re at the airport and need quick gift, there may be a few more Toblerones to choose from. You’ll just have to drive home faster.
Toblerone Ice Cream Bars are coming and, just like the Toblerone Bar, they’ll be unmistakably triangular, containing the same almond and nougat goodness.
So far, the ice cream bars will only make an appearance in the U.K., beginning this summer. However, we can’t imagine they won’t be smuggled into the U.S. by those smart few who pack a cooler.
Nutella had a good run, but M&M’s is coming for the chocolate spread crown.
M&M’s Chocolate Spread with Crispy Pieces is the sweet jarred treat that we deserve right now. Not only is it wonderfully-spreadable, but unlike Nutella, M&M’s loads theirs with crispy candy pieces.
Perfect for fans of the candies that melt in your mouth, and those who prefer chunky over smooth. As of now, the spread is available in the UK, but we hope to have it on our toast stateside soon.

Chocolate has remained steadfast within three categories — dark, milk and white. And, having these three versions of the addictive treat, nobody has ever thought to ask for a fourth. Then, Ruby Chocolate happened.
Made from actual ruby cocoa beans, this latest version of chocolate is brought to us by Swiss cocoa company, Barry Callebaut — who produce the pink-hued chocolate using no dyes or coloring.
Described as “not bitter, milky or sweet, but a tension between berry-fruitiness and luscious smoothness,” its flavor profile appears as unique as its color. More information on Ruby Chocolate can be found on Barry Callebaut’s website.

If you stop for a second, in the middle of the street, and take a good look at a manhole cover, you might notice that some are actually quite beautiful. Especially if said manhole cover was edible.
The Chocolate Manhole Cover is brought to us by Twitterer @38beem. It’s made of solid chocolate, with the ‘rust’ created with cocoa powder and the ‘street’ made with different-colored cookie crumbles. Now stop staring and get out of the street.

Landing a design gig is hard, but there’s always creative ways to grab a hiring manager’s attention. Brooklyn-based creative pro, April Hansen, knows this and has come up with a great way to land the job.
Adobe Suite Chocolate Bars use the icons of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign as its packaging, with some added creative flair. Check the back of the bars for nutritional info and April’s skill set.
Hopefully the chocolates are effective. And, if not… Do you really want to work for someone who doesn’t like chocolate?
