New Chocolate Flavor in the Works
Posted by: | CommentsYep, we’ve been slacking a little when it comes to the blogging department. That’s because we’ve been a little swamped with out chocolate production, getting ready for the holiday season. On top of all the production work, we’re testing out new flavors for 2010 and working on putting together a Valentine’s Cocoset. Give you a hint on that one: it’s like roses you can eat. Hee…hee…hee.
About new flavors for 2010, well, we’re working on customer requests of adding milk chocolate in our mix. I know, I know, milk chocolate is not our thing unless we think that it’s ultimate. It’s gotta be smooth, velvety, not too sweet, and have all the essence of dark chocolate without the bitterness. After a few weeks of taste testing, we think we’ve come up with a good recipe. We’ve even got a name that’ll sure make you laugh, in the tradition of Cocopotamus. Hint, it’s a common saying; it has to do with an animal. Have a guess? Write us and if you’re right, we’ll send you a box of our chocolate.
Have a great Halloween weekend, everyone! Remember, fudge happens, have a ball.

Our Chocolate Ready for TV
Posted by: | CommentsWe just came back from a week of hustle and bustle in Florida. About a month back, an executive from a morning talk show, the Balancing Act of Lifetime TV network, called. We were thrilled, to say the least, to be invited to be on their show. So last week, we flew to their Fort Lauderdale studio to shoot a 3 to 4 minute segment featuring our very own Cocopotamus Chocolate. For some reason, we weren’t nervous at all. The shoot was surprisingly speedy. It took only two takes and we were done. But what an experience it was. I couldn’t believe the number of people it takes to put a show together. There’s the writers, the producers, the director, the host, the camera crew, the sound man, the lighting men, the coordinator, the food stylist, just to name a few. Everyone in the production crew was so nice. They made sure that we were comfortable. They even offered donuts (our daughter was in heaven). The host, Beth, was absolutely fabulous. Boy, she could talk. I guess that’s why she’s a talk show host.
