Chocomize first made a name for itself by offering a unique online tool to help its consumers create custom chocolates. As a result, chocolate bars could be stuffed with everything from candy Pop Rocks to sophisticated spices like lavender and cardamom. In order to make the experience of receiving a personalized chocolate even more memorable, Chocomize is now offering the 'Edible Picture Bar.'
For under $10, users are able to go online, upload a photo, add text for the creation of a completely custom chocolate bar. Since the selected images are printed directly onto the chocolate, the base Belgian milk chocolate bar is topped with a thin layer of white chocolate for optimal visibility.
In order to show off the chocolate bars like photographs, the products are framed with a simple Chocomize box. Customers have the option to further enhance the presentation of the chocolate by opting to add a greeting card or a premium gift box upon checkout. The custom chocolate gifts can be personalized for birthdays, holidays and other special occasions.
