It’s inauguration night and you are gathered around the TV with your family and friends. Each is holding a small milk chocolate Obama bust. At the moment of the swearing-in, you simultaneously pop the Obamas into your mouths and cheer. Tiny rivulets of chocolate slobber attempt to escape and spoil the moment by dripping onto your shirt. In an amazing, “Yes, we can,” response, you catch them. No damage, no drama, just the delicious taste of chocolate Obama.
It could happen.
Equipped with a quirky sense of fun, Portland, Oregon- based, Neapolitan Printing & Company draws upon the collaborative efforts of artisan chocolatiers, artists, chefs, farmers, and others to make their sweet creations. Their specialty chocolates use locally harvested and organic ingredients.
Choc-O-Bama is 64 grams of fine milk chocolate. The $20 price includes the cost of U.S. shipping, and $1 from every box will be placed in a fund for some worthy cause to be determined by popular vote. The packaging is eco-friendly too. Place your order on Etsy and let the celebration begin!
