When a good friend of mine contacted me about trying out something new that involves chocolate I jumped at the opportunity. The fact that it’s a student start-up company product competing in the Junior Achievement Cyprus competition made the notion even more intriguing. So on a quiet afternoon Georgie, James and I sat down to test-run the mouth-watering experience that is Chocsticks.
So what is Chocsticks? It’s a simple and beautiful idea that, personally, I can’t get enough of. It consists of a wooden spoon covered in organic chocolate that can be dunked in warm milk to create the delight called hot chocolate.
What I particularly love about this product is that this is actually the right way to create the perfect hot chocolate: with solid dark cocoa. Not powdered cocoa. Chocsticks can even be eaten straight off the spoon, like a lollipop. With just three ingredients: extra virgin coconut oil, organic cocoa and organic dark agave syrup it’s completely guilt-free AND good for you!
A few other points worth mentioning about Chocsticks are the use of Fair Trade chocolate, the eco-friendly wooden spoons and I was impressed to discover they also come in two more yummy flavours: salted caramel and coffee.
Chocsticks is a product with great potential. It appeals to all ages, it involves chocolate and is actually healthy. Win, win, win! The students mention in their proposal that it could work as a party/wedding/christening favour and I couldn’t agree more. I would definitely be excited to receive something like Chocsticks at the end of a party.
You can purchase a glass jar of Chocsticks by contacting them on their Facebook page and follow them on Instagram for more updates.
This Saturday, March 24, the creative team behind Chocsticks will be at The Mall of Cyprus as part of the two-day Junior Achievement Cyprus Trade Fair so pop by if you’d like to discover more.
