Solar system chocolates? For me? You shouldn’t have.

From Mercury to Neptune, each of these eight planet chocolates has a unique flavor. Mercury is coconut mango, Venus is lemon creme, Earth is cocoa, Mars is orange praline, Jupiter is vanilla, Saturn is rum raisin, Uranus is milk chocolate and Neptune is cappuccino.

You can order the set here for around US $41

Hershey’s chocolate plant hires foreign workers, pays them foreign wages, treats them like 3rd world sweatshop labor. Ta da!

Hundreds of foreign students paid to come to America this summer as part of a cultural exchange program promising opportunities to learn English and experience American culture while working. Instead, the students claim they were forced to work in back-breaking, round-the-clock production lines packing chocolates at the Hershey’s Chocolate Company Packing Plant in Pennsylvania for wages as low as $1/hour after mandatory deductions. When the students complained, they claim factory managers threatened to have them deported.

A 3D printer that prints in chocolate? It’s real and it’s fantastic.

It’s finally happened: a team of researchers at University of Exeter has created a dedicated machine for extruding 3d objects out of chocolate. Someone print me a life-size Sasha Grey made out of chocolate and bring it to my lair.

In twenty years, chocolate could be a rarity

With chocolate prices already on the rise, and with demand far outpacing supply, analysts expect that in 20 years, chocolate will a rare enough that you could expect to pay something around $11 and up for a chocolate bar that today is a dollar.

How to make a New York chocolate egg cream

Check out this instructional video from Food Wishes on how to make an authentic New York chocolate egg cream. It’s basically just a chocolate soda and contains neither eggs nor cream, but it got that name because it looks like it’s got both. But it doesn’t. No eggs or cream. But damn that still looks fucking good.
