Toblerone Chocolate

toblerone.gifIf you’ve never experienced the taste of Toblerone chocolate, you don’t know what you’re missing. Yes, it’s pricier than the Hershey bar you can pick up at the corner store… but well worth the extra investment.

It all began, in 1867, when Jean Tobler opened a specialty chocolate shop in Bern Switzerland. Due to overwhelming demand for his delicious creations, he opened a factory in 1899… and the rest you might say is history.

The Toblerone chocolate bar is quite unique in the fact that its segments are triangular in shape and is flavored with honey and almond nougat. These triangles represent the Matterhorn, in the Swiss Alps. The weight of the chocolate bar dictates the number of ‘peaks’ it contains.

The logo has changed several times, but the taste of Toblerone chocolate has always remained constant. Only the best ingredients are used in the manufacture of this decadent treat.

Through the years, additional varieties have been produced. They include white chocolate bars, bittersweet chocolate bars and Toblerone minis. (Because of regional preferences, not all varieties are available in all countries.)

With Valentine’s Day looming near, there is no better time to consider purchasing some Toblerone chocolate for your sweetie! The variety pack is an excellent choice for those who deserve to have it all.
