Five Divine Chocolate Creations
In Britain we are one of the greatest consumers of chocolate so it’s not surprising we even have a week-long celebration dedicated to one of our favourite snacks made from cocoa beans. Yes it is National Chocolate Week, so for all the chocoholics out there we’ve discovered a few unexpected creations to share and admire.
Belgium’s Chocolate Stamps
Belgium is known for making some of the finest chocolates in the world. Indeed the country’s love of it goes back to the 19th century when cocoa was shipped there from Congo. It was the invention of a chocolate shell with a soft centre we all now call Praline way back in 1912 which led to the Belgian industry becoming world famous as it is today.
In 2013 they took things a whole lot further by issuing a limited edition of chocolate flavoured stamps with an aroma to match! More than 500,000 stamps were printed on special paper with a cocoa-scented varnish and glue that tasted and smelled like it when licked.
