Nothing says luxury like getting exactly what you want, exactly the way you want it. Chocri makes that dream a reality for choco-philes at createmychocolate.com.

Chocri customized chocolate bars are made from organic, fair trade Belgian chocolate. You can pick milk chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate or a milk and white combination for your base chocolate bar, and then get customizing. Options include, but are not limited to:

Goji Berries
Fig Bits
Banana Chips
Papaya Cubes
Sea Salt
Rosemary (it's getting interesting, isn't it?)
Jalepenos
Bourbon Vanilla
Ginger
Chives
Hazelnut Brittle
Wasabi Peanuts
Pine Nuts
Licorice
Sizzle Rocks
Gummy Bears
Marzipan Carrots (now we're onto crazy)
Sugar Flowers
Real Gold Flakes
Tiny Stars
Bacon
Candied Lilac
Candied Rose Petals
Organic Mint Leaves
Organic Poppy Seeds

Sorry, I didn't mean that to be such a long list, but once I got going it was impossible to stop. Each ingredient is more unexpected than the last! You could play around with the combinations for a long time; I recently tried one with just sesame seeds and it kind of blew my mind.

Once you design your chocolate, you name it and pay for it (you control the price by paying for whatever ingredients you add ... real gold flakes are $2.10 per bar), and it's sent to you in a personalized box. You can also enter your previous chocolate's barcode number, in case whatever you made last time was clearly the ultimate chocolate creation of all time.

More enticing still, 1 percent of the profits from every chocolate bar sold goes to aid children in the Ivory Coast region -- adding up to over $42,763 at the time of writing this. For every five bars you make, you get one free. Click here to create your own custom chocolate.
