When eating chocolate, most people aim to keep from getting it all over their fingers—but that won't be possible with this quirky chocolate set from The Chocolate Factory.
'Give Me Five' consists of 10 chocolate samples in unusual fruity flavors like strawberry, orange and lemon, as well as classics like white, dark and caramel. When the chocolate thimbles are removed from the box, they are designed to be worn on the fingers for easy eating. While chocolate is typically a confection to savor, the form of these chocolates speeds up the eating process, before the treats are reduced to a melted mess.
In place of traditional full-sized utensils, novelty finger covers like these ones from The Chocolate Factory are becoming popular for consuming bite-sized finger foods that focus on indulgences in small doses.
