Yes, very sweet. Did you ever have those pink chocolate pig ‘penny sweets’ in Germany? They taste like those. ---

It’s the first time I see such chocolate. The wikipedia description seems interesting, but its colour… to my personal taste isn’t so much appealing. Is the real thing really so pink? I wonder how much of that hue is due to the ruby beans and how much due to artificial colours. I’ve browsed the net for pics, and in some of them the tone feels much more natural (including the one on the wiki page). ---

No, it seems to be a trade secret. > **[Ruby chocolate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_chocolate)** > > Ruby chocolate is a variety of chocolate introduced in 2017 by Barry Callebaut, a Belgian–Swiss cocoa company. The variety has been in development since 2004. It was unveiled at a private event in Shanghai on 5 September 2017. > The chocolate is made from the "ruby cocoa bean". "Ruby beans" are existing botanical cocoa bean varieties that have been identified as having the right attributes to be processed into ruby chocolate. > The chocolate's taste is described as "sweet yet sour", with "little ... Anyway… since the pink colour you can see on images like this ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thimbleweedpark/original/2X/c/c8f3380ea7e779b678b2012dcda275faa3be19a9.png) Is quite light, I believe that to obtain such a tone for chocolate implies “decolouring” it, either using some industrial process, or simply putting just a minimum amount of ruby cocoa powder into the chocolate (white chocolate is made from cocoa butter but with no addition of cocoa powder). I’d be very willing to taste a “dark” version of ruby chocolate, but I’m afraid that this pink chocolate could be only some sort of white chocolate plus a very small addition of ruby cocoa powder (only to justify the name) and food colours (to obtain the pinky tone). But obviously I might be wrong. Anyway, this Ruby Chocolate fits perfectly this thread. Well done! ---

> [@Ema](#): > > I’d be very willing to taste a “dark” version of ruby chocolate, … Same here. 🙂 I’ve never seen this ruby chocolate before and I’m really curious about how it taste. But I fear that the KitKat bar consists only of a small amount of it. ---

I bought diced bacon and cheddar today and have no idea what to do with them. I really only got them because I thought it would be neat to combine them somehow, because they´re both diced. So I´m open to suggestions now! ---
