Bars of the month December

Wed, 05 Dec 2012 09:53:56 -0500

Finally the year is coming to an end and Christmas is just around the corner. The temperatures sink and the Christmas markets fill the air with the delicious smells of mulled wine, cinnamon and gingerbread. To increase the joy for the feast of love and contemplation we have created two new bars of the month December.

Our first bar is a reminder of old days when our parents and grandparents found oranges and mandarins under their Christmas trees. Fruity Christmas seduces with our new ingredient of the month November: the Mini Christmas Cookies on softmelting milk chocolate. Creamy orange-chocolate-drops are responsible for the fruity-nostalgic taste and our crunchy rice crispies round off everything. Also our second bar is a real culinary delight. Make a wish convinces with festive gingerbread spice, which fits optically and with its flavor very well to the pistachios, the crunchy cornflakes with chocolate coating and the falling star made of cookie dough. Everything is assembled on a bar of white chocolate.

A beautiful November with a great chocolate delight wishes you

Bars of the month November

Fri, 02 Nov 2012 06:13:16 -0400

Not only the summer, but also the fall has its beautiful sites. Now a walk outside can be very fascinating: Everything is beautifully colored by the leaves falling from the trees and making rustling slight noises when you walk over them. Especially for children the fall time is one of the most beautiful seasons. Everywhere they can collect ripe chestnuts, beechnuts and acorns to play with them and build little figures. And to fly a kite in the upcoming wind brings more fun than ever. The bars of the month November are inspired by the current season and call it in your mind with every bite. Our first creation is called beautiful autumn day. And consists of crunchy cornflakes, fruity sour cherries and chocolate sizzle rocks. These delicious ingredients are united on tenderly melting milk chocolate. Our second bar of the month doesn’t carry its name without reason: Sweet November forms with its dark chocolate the perfect base for sweet nougat pieces, fruity strawberries and our delicious ingredient of the month: marzipan balls.

In Germany there are saying: „April, April, he is doing whatever he wants.” This proverb is true, because the weather in april was either dry and warmly or wet and cold. We hope therefore for a beautiful and warm May.

The sun is shining, the spring flowers bloom, and even shrubs and trees will soon blossom into colorful colors. The best time of the year! The first shafts of sunlight tickle you out of bed and comfortably warm temperatures await you outside. At this time of the year, our chocri becomes more colorful and fruitylicious.

Lenten season, but we do not waive our chocolate of the month. And rather than to renounce our self-made chocolates, we intent to start to exercise and be active. Especially in early spring the perfect feel-good formula, and strongly recommended for imitation.

Our bars of the month prepare you for spring-like temperatures, spring flowers and sunshine. The bar Sweet Cookie is not only perfect for an afternoon coffee outside. Mini Christmas Cookies, Sprinkles and Caramel Pieces on milk chocolate, irresistible good, even if it sometimes crumbles. The bar Choco Strike is a real hit.

chocri chocolate cookies

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 08:02:01 -0500

It does not have to be a huge gift for Valentine's Day. Even with tasty chocolate cookies you may score points. And since chocri chocolate and chocolate cookies fit perfectly together I prepared some quite delicious chocri-chocolate-cookies.

chocolate cookies with chocri

These cookies are quite easy to prepare and an absolute highlight. You need the following ingredients:
150g flour
100g sugar
125g soft butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla sugar
and 1 bar of chocri chocolate

The preparation causes no great difficulties. Chop the chocri into large pieces. Stir butter, sugar and vanilla sugar until it is fluffy and add the egg. Mix the flour with the baking powder and stir it into the butter mixture. Divide the dough in large or small parts and arrange them on a baking tray with baking paper. Now firmly press the chunks of chocri into the dough. Preheat the oven to 175°C and bake the cookies in the middle rack about 15 to 20 minutes.

Should you have a great cookie recipe for our chocolate, tell me more about that! Write a comment or post it on Facebook. I would be happy to try your recipe.

Bars of the month February

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:09:52 -0500

The February promises to be eventful. Valentine’s Day and Carnival are at the door. And the winter finally arrived in Berlin. It is really cold outside. Who of you don’t feel like getting on a winter walk? I would recommend a cozy couch afternoon. Relax and enjoy a piece of chocolate!

Our bars of the month are the perfect start for an eventful February. The bar Milk’n Rainbow is not only colorful, but also really chocolaty. Colorful chocolate dragées and rice crispies in chocolate coating on the basic ingredient of all chocolate: cocoa nibs. The bar White Dream was created by our German Facebook fans. On white chocolate are sour cherries, roasted peanuts and nougat pieces.

A big thanks goes to Cindy for the names. A wonderful time with our chocolate wishes your chocri team.

The perfect chocolate fondue

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 09:00:00 -0500

It's cold, wet, and uncomfortable here in Berlin, so I make myself comfortable with a delicious chocolate fondue. But the pleasure of liquid chocolate on cold winter days is much better when shared with friends. So a delicious chocolate dinner with fruits, biscuits and even ice cream is the best way to spend the after work evenings. In case you still have some chocolate Santas just melt them with the rest of the chocolate.

Accessories

A delicious chocolate fondue can easily be prepared. You only need the basic fondue equipment. I would recommend you use a small ceramic bowl that is placed on a chafing dish or tea cozy.

The chocolate

There are no limits set on the chocolate selection. For a classic chocolate fondue you usually use bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of 55%. You can mix this dark chocolate mass with equal parts of milk chocolate. Those who prefer something sweeter may add a little sugar to it. The fondue gets really exotic with grated coconut or pistachio.

Fruit, cookies, etc.

A chocolate fondue is a real vitamin bomb. Nearly all fruits are suitable for dipping. Especially oranges, apples and bananas are perfect, but also mango, papaya and gooseberry are delicious in a chocolate coat. Alternatively, small cookies, marshmallows and ice cream can be served with the fondue.

Our classic chocolate fondue

Is actually quite simple and requires no great knowledge. In a few steps you can create a perfect chocolate fondue for 6-8 chocoholics.

Wash, peel, cut and serve 1 kg fruit in small bowls

Chop 400g dark chocolate (55% cocoa content) and 200g of milk chocolate

Boil 500ml milk, 250ml cream, and 60g sugar. Pour this over the chopped chocolate and stir it properly. Mix 60g cold butter into the mixture and stir the creamy chocolate mass.

Now just grab the fruit skewer and start.
