This will probably come as a surprise to you but the box of "sushi" that you see on top is actually a box of crisp rice cookies made of chocolate instead of raw fish, vinegar and rice. Each piece is made by hand with meticulous attention paid to details. Whether you are a chocolate or sushi lover or even both, you should try one out! A great gift too if you would like to surprise someone.
If you would prefer a chocolate drink, why not try out the Chocolate beer from Anheuser-Busch Cos."Michelob Celebrate Chocolate complements a variety of desserts such as raspberry crème brûlée or when poured over vanilla bean ice cream with a cara-mel swirl, " said Kristi Zantop, brewmaster, as she whirled the dark lager in its pear-shaped goblet. "It would be an ideal match for pecan pie."Brewed with caramel and roasted malts and matured on cocoa beans, the chocolate beer looks like liquid dark chocolate with a creamy latte-colored foam. It doesn't taste like conventional beer, nor is it syrupy sweet like a liqueur.
"It's not candy-like," Zantop said. And while the chocolate brew is 8.5 percent alcohol by volume, which is higher than a regular Budweiser at 5 percent, it doesn't have the high alcoholic notes found in a brandy at 40 percent alcohol.
A chocolate lover should definitely try out these fantasic products, and they would be perfect as a Christmas gift for that special someone!
