Chocolate with a good pinch of humour.

Last year, while searching for suitable gifts for my in-laws, I came across the chocolate company 'Bloomsberry &Co'. They are a New Zealand based company who import Swiss chocolate, wrap it with their own unique brand of humour and then ship it around the world.


Their range of chocolate bars has something for most tastes, both in regards to your palate, with both milk (33% cocoa solids) and dark chocolate (75% cocoa solids), and your sense of humour.
They have 'Bochox' bars, for the relief of wrinkles, and 'Dechox' bars to 'detoxify your mind of all that bad mood food'.



There are bars such as 'Dr Chocolate' with the instructions to 'take 100g and call me in the morning', and the 'Girth Control' bar which helps you to avoid thinking about 'it' for up to 15 minutes.
There is also a bar for the 'Ultimate balanced diet', with clearly divided portions for your three daily meals.
.

There are bars for glamorous ladies such as the 'Wonder Bar' is there to provide the 'lift you'll love', and more earthly bars for those who like to get dirty, or do the gardening, which are full of 'Blooming Marvelous' Swiss chocolate.


Bloomsberry & Co. also provide a 'Chocoscope', an astrological guide to chocolate consumption.
Because you just never know when a chocolate emergency may occur, they have produced a range of 'Emergency chocolate' available in milk, dark and hazelnut chocolate, for the 'immediate relief of chocolate cravings, love sickness, exam pressures, mild anxiety and extreme hunger'. Now we need never be caught unprepared!

The chocolate bars are probably the best quality novelty chocolate that I have eaten, unlike most it actually tastes of chocolate and is smooth and creamy, whereas most novelty chocolates have a taste and a texture more reminiscent of coloured wax than chocolate.
I would have to say that these chocolate bars make excellent gifts to give away, but are not perhaps the best for when you just want to indulge your own chocolate cravings.
