The food industry never ceases to amaze when it comes to innovation. In one of the most startling news story of "why didn't I think of that," someone has just invented chocolate slices to make sandwiches even better.
These chocolate slices from Japan are exactly what you'd think: they're basically like those Kraft cheese singles but in chocolate form. Good Food reports:
"Created by Japanese company Bourbon, the two-millimeter thin chocolate slices are a bit like a cross between Kraft cheese singles and Nutella spread - although Good Food understands Bourbon's slices have a stronger flavor than standard milk chocolate based products (each slice has an alcohol content of 1.3 percent)."
In fact, it has even more uses than just to top a sweet sandwich. According to Rocket News 24, these "nama chocolate" slices can be used in rolls, wraps, on top of your food (like pancakes or crackers, as suggested by Time), and can even be cut in a variety of shapes. Check out these varieties in the photo here.
According to Daily Mail, the advertisements for the chocolate product seem to be just delightful: "Full-bodied, deep, melting in the mouth smooth ganache [sic]."
"Cute handmade chocolate cracker sandwich crackers... wrapped in with fruit and cream crepes for a fruit chocolate crepe [sic]," the website boasts.
Not only that, but Bourbon's website also offers a wide range of recipes like chocolate banana rolls, chocolate layered crackers and even simple crepes.
However, the chocolate slices can only be bought through the Bourbon's online shop (here). It comes in 12-pack bags for ¥3240 or roughly $37. One pack contains five slices, which basically come out with a price tag of 60 cents per slice.
Unfortunately, the beloved product is sold out. And in order to purchase as soon as it becomes available again, you might need some help from someone who knows how to read Japanese to be able to successfully navigate through the website.
