Our Favorite Chocolate Mix Ins

We don’t have to tell you how much we love chocolate, and we’re sure that you share our passion for the creamy deliciousness we all love to indulge in!  To us, it doesn’t matter if it’s dark, milk, white or whether it’s fudge or brewed in a drink.  Chocolate is by far one of the most craved and loved treats there is.   So, what could possibly make chocolate more wonderful than it already is?  We’re going to give you our top-five favorite mix-ins, that make an already delectable treat even better by anyone’s standards! 

Nuts

By far one of the most popular mix-ins for our creamy delicious chocolate are nuts, like almonds or cashews.  This combination can come in a variety of ways, such as clusters, which are small and usually in a paper wrap or bark which is flattened and cut into sections.  Nuts can add a layer of flavor and texture to chocolate that blends with the wonderful flavors of milk, dark or white chocolate. 

Fruits

An apple a day helps keep the doctor away, so we can totally justify having fruit dipped or blended in chocolate!  From orange peels to cherries and chocolate dipped strawberries, our customers love the combination of fruit with chocolate.  Chocolate covered raisins and even raisin and nut clusters provide a powerful, flavor filled treat with a chewy and crunchy experience that is completely addictive! 

Pretzels

It doesn’t matter whether they are traditional shaped pretzels or rods, when you dip a pretzel in chocolate - magic happens!  There is something about the salty crunch mixed with the creamy delicious chocolate that is undeniably one of the best tasting combinations on the planet.  We also add toppings like mini M&M’s, crushed nuts and sprinkles to finish them off – sort of like Bling!  It’s no wonder chocolate covered pretzels are one of our customer favorites to take home. 

Fillings

Assorted filled chocolates offer one surprise after another.  No one said it better than Forest Gump, “My momma always said, ‘Life was like a box of chocolates.  You never know what you’re gonna get.’”  And that’s part of the fun of filled chocolates.  You really do not know what you are going to get.  From vanilla, strawberry and chocolate filled to caramel, hazelnut, raspberry, cheesecake and we could go on and on. The possibilities are endless!

Cool Stuff

And finally, some things that are definitely different, but totally delicious all the same!  How about chocolate dipped cookies or even potato chips!  We are not afraid to dip just about anything in chocolate, but we’ve had a lot of happy customers who love our chocolate chip or Oreo dipped cookies.  We’ve also received rave reviews on our chocolate dipped potato chips, which again, offer the salty crunchiness of a chip that is smoothed by the creamy chocolate sweetness. What a combination!  We’ve dipped everything from Twinkies and gummy bears to licorice, and even candy canes! 

We’ve just given you five of our very favorite chocolate mix-ins, but customers of Suzi’s Sweet Shoppe have been our best source of suggestions and ideas for new combinations.  So if you are thinking of a chocolate mix-in that you would like to try, just contact us and let us know what you think we should mix our homemade chocolate with and we’ll be happy to give it a try!
