Chocolates You Can Make an Impression On
For those of you who fancy playing at being chocolate barons and baronesses and would like to create a candy with your very own name, motto, or mantra on it, Dove Chocolate has the answer.
Just click through the mydovechocolate.com site to customize individually-wrapped chocolates by writing up to four secret messages with three seventeen-character lines each. The possibilities are endless: I'm a Tiger/Watch Me Roar/Baby, Oh, Baby and May Chocolate/Cure You of/All Mortal Sin are just two options among countless others. You can also select your own font, foil color, and clip art. The only drawback is that a bag of 50 bite-sized pieces will run you $79, a price more suited to Valrhona than a drugstore brand (even if Dove is a top-shelf drugstore brand).
Both Charles Chocolates in California and MarieBelle in New York will gladly take corporate orders and replace the designs atop their award-winning artisan chocolates with your company logo, but be prepared to order in bulk and drop a couple of grand.
