BREADTH BY CHOCOLATE Garry Hine, left, and Gary Wychocki help move a giant chocolate bar to a scale Tuesday, Sept. 13, in Chicago. The chocolate bar weighs 12,000 pounds and measures 3-feet high and 21-feet long. It includes 1,200 pounds of almonds, 5,500 pounds of sugar, 2,000 pounds of milk powder, 1,700 pounds of cocoa butter and 1,400 pounds of chocolate liquor. The bar will tour schools across the United States as part of a portion-control education campaign called “Think Big. Eat Smart.” (Photo: Brian Kersey / World’s Finest Chocolate via the AP / MSNBC.com)
Brand/Influencers : Mast Brothers Chocolate: @abenton posted this link, and one of the gems was a video shot by @coolhunting about The Mast Brothers. While the simplicity and and the detail of the video resonated deeply with me the first time I saw it; it wasn’t until Angela’s link presented it in this way that I realized this would be a perfect installment for you all. Chocolate is arguably one of the worlds most coveted foods. While it has been mass produced, the Mast Brothers take a different approach to their creation of chocolate. Their “bean-to-bar” approach has made them a favorite among both chocolate lovers and snobs. And we all have that “chocolate snob” friend. I picked up a few bars for my friend. Take in the craftsmanship and the simplicity of their process. This process has arguably placed them among some of the best chocolate makers in the world. Next time you are in BK.
