make your own chocolate bar

13Feb08

choco-bar.jpgI have always liked the “create your own something” concept. Cold Stone Creamery does it for ice cream while Chipotle does it for burritos. The concept is simple, stock your store with tons of options and let the consumer create their own meal. There is no one to blame but yourself if something went wrong. Customer is put first and gets exactly what they wanted. It also makes for an exciting process that lets people be creative.

I have had this idea for a while now, and love it. So the concept is a Cold Stone Creamery shop but for candy bars. Candy bars are one of America’s favorite snacks whether it’s a butterfinger to crunch bars. Everyone has their favorite for certain reasons. But what if you could make your own?

So here is a “create your own candy bar” store idea; when you walk in, you select from a huge listing of ingredients such as nougat, fudge, chocolate, cookie, honey, nuts etc.. You can make layers or mix it in, so the person lays every thing you want into a bar shape mold and covers with any type of melted chocolate you want. At this point you have the choice of take home or dine in; take home and they pour chocolate on it, and let it harden and package it in a candy bar wrapper of your choice. You could have 20 bars created for your friends and family.  For the dine-in option, you can once again pour melted chocolate (any kind white, dark, bitter sweet) and you eat it hot and melted with a fork and knife and perhaps with a ice cream soda inside the store.
