 Interesting Chocolate Flavours To Try On World Chocolate Day

Chai chocolate

The coffee and chocolate blend has been a crowd favourite. Imagine mixing this favourite desi drink with chocolate. This flavour of chocolate that has all the flavour components of a masala chai , definitely is going to result in the most amazing flavour one may have ever tasted.

Not only does it have the taste of the beverage along with choicest of complementary spices like cloves, cinnamon, cardamom and fennel seeds etc.

Chilli chocolate

Another interesting mix is that of chilli and chocolate. Who would've thought one could get the benefits of chillies like metabolism boost and antioxidants with chocolate's rich flavour and texture. While people have created flavours of chocolates with spicy condiments like Wasabi, adding chillies takes it a notch higher. A lot of homegrown brands are now offering unique flavoured chocolate.

Orange Chocolate

While fruits have always made good pairs with chocolate, it wasn't until much later that people discovered the amazing combination of oranges and chocolate. The orange and chocolate cake flavour is definitely a crowd-favourite. Joseph Terry was the first who developed chocolate orange and it eventually caught onto the homegrown brands. The tropical flavour will become a new favourite in no time.

Matcha Chocolate

Matcha or Green Tea is a drink that has gained popularity all over the world with many international brands coming up with their mixes of products with matcha. The Japanese drink has a bittersweet or umami flavour. If not handled well, its flavours can get masked by the richness of cocoa. However, many have perfected the art of creating matcha chocolates which are a rage these days!
