giveaway: $25 chocomize gift certificate!
***This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for your participation!!!**
Calling all chocolate-lovers!!! :)
Allow me to introduce you to Chocomize — a fabulous site that allows you to customize your own chocolate bars. It’s true! You literally get to choose your blank canvas (white, milk, or dark chocolate), and then with a few clicks, you can “decorate” it with whatever favorite ingredients you love! Brilliant!!!
The folks at Chocomize kindly let me have some fun on their site and design a few of my own bars, which was a total delight. I went with a dark chocolate bar (sprinkled with cinnamon, cayenne, and coffee beans!), and a white chocolate bar (with these gorgeous dried flower pieces and macadamia nuts), and then they also sent along their popular s’mores bar (pictured above). I may or may not have raced home to check the mail the day they arrived… :)
Sure enough — they are absolutely amazing! Such great quality chocolate, and designs were so cute! I can’t wait to order more. They would be the absolute perfect gift to customize for your friends, or to give them a gift certificate to go design their own!
Anyway, the best news of the day is that Chocomize is offering a $25 gift certificate for one lucky Gimme Some Oven reader to have their own chocolate fun! AND, everyone can have 10% off your order at Chocomize if you enter in the coupon code ‘gimmesomeoven’ at the checkout. Sweet!!!

I would do White Chocolate, Oreo Pieces, Dark Chocolate Chips, Chocolate Candy. Peanut Chocolate Candy and Potato Chips!
If I could create my own candy bar- it would have peanut butter, toffee and and an entire frosting of white chocolate- very sweet!
I think my chocolate bar would be milk chocolate with sliced almonds, hazelnuts, coconut, and ground coffee. There are so many others that sound good though. :)
Another breakfast favorite: Poppy seed Muffin.
-White Chocolate
-Poppy seeds
-Diced lemon peel
-23 Karat gold flakes
YUM!
dark chocolate with raspberries!
* Dark Chocolate
* Crystallized Violet Petals
* Ground Coffee
* Cinnamon
* Sliced Almonds
a morning awakening! Starting your day off with a cup of coffee and this chocolate bar would seem like the beginning of summer, even in December.
Yum! I these look amazing, and now I’m a fan on facebooK!
Mmm I just spent so long drooling over this website. I have a ton of different combinations I would choose… so here is one:
Milk Chocolate
Dried Strawberries
Strawberry Gushers
Pop Rocks
Graham Crackers
Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Hahaha might sound weird, but I wanna try it!
I’m a chocolate purist–always dark chocolate, usually just by itself. But this looks like so much fun I may have to indulge in something playful and silly–like gummi bears!
I would start with white chocolate and add teddy grahams, caramel pieces, and cashews.
My ultimate custom candy bar would be dark chocolate with whole almonds, dried mango, dried ginger, coconut flake and cinnamon.
I created a dark chocolate bar with white chocolate, caramel, and pretzel pieces. Yum!
I was always a fan of the Symphony bar growing up, but now I think my favorite chocolate bar has cinnamon, apples, and candied pecans. SOOOOOOOO GOOD!!!
YUM!!! I love your blog… I am so glad I found it on Tasty Kitchen. =)
P.S. how gorgeous is that white chocolate with the flowers?!
I also posted on my website!
I have never heard of this, but my oh my is this a keeper! I would love milk chocolate with hazelnuts, butter toffee peanuts, and sprinkles, because who can’t smile when they see rainbow sprinkles?? :)
Wow – that white choclate flower bar looks divine! I’d love one of those!
I’m now a fan on your FB page, as well! Thanks so much for the extra entry and the great recipes!!
and I am a fan on fb!
oooooh– milk chocolate, with sea salt, caramel bits, hazlenuts, and (just to be fancy) gold flakes!!!
So much fun! White Chocolate, Cranberries, and Teddy Grahams!
My favorite – Snickers (I’ve been eating bite size ones all week at work to treat my boredom! But, dark chocolate of any kind with anything in it beats them all.
Peanut butter anything!
I love dark chocolate with bacon in it! It’s sooooo delicious!!
I’d take milk chocolate with butterscotch and toffee, om nom nom…
I also just told everyone about the website AND liked it, I didn’t realize you had a facebook group <3
I love your site and love chocolate! Especially Whatchamacallits!! mmm..so good! Im excited to design my own, but am really trying not to drool over that s’mores bar! :)
The smores looks absolutely amazing! I don’t know what I would get if I decided, probably dark chocolate with butter toasted peanuts, marshmallows, and mini pretzels.
and I subscribe via google reader
I try to stay away from candy bars (and instead go for my homemade desserts…not much better ha) but I love twix, baby ruth, snickers, and take 5…well actually there aren’t many I don’t like! :) I would LOVE to win this giveaway–those bars look heavenly!
All I could think when I saw this was “Oh My God, Oh My God… I can’t go to that site!” But now I have and I blame you.
I’m already planning to ordered the dark chocolate with curry powder, diced ginger and peanut butter drops.
and I posted about it!
I am a fan on Facebook!
OOOH! I would probably go for a dark chocolate bar, with toffee bits, and maybe some dried cherries!
Defiantly the spicy special bar but with dark chocolate.
I would just love dark chocolate,the flower mixture,and maybe ground cinnamon.
My choice would be…
Milk chocolate with butter toasted peanuts!
Yummy!!!
And I`ve also posted about it.
I`m also a fan on Facebook.
Yum!!They sound so cool!I`m not sure what I would pick!Maybe, Dark chocolate,pop rocks,and graham teddies.
My ideal bar would be dark chocolate with hazelnuts, whole almonds, cranberries and toffee bits…yum =0)
oh my goodness…it’s like having trail mix in a bar…I would totally go for dark chocolate with banana granola, papaya, dates, cherries, and almonds….yummo!
my favorite chocolate bar is ritter sport marzipan. dark chocolate is theee best!
My favorite is the milk chocolate with chili powder!
I would try something with gummy bears! Yum!
I think I would choose a milk cholate bar with almonds and toffee pieces. Sounds great!
Mine would be dark chocolate with cocoa nibs, slices almonds and ground coffee! Mmmmm yum. Thanks for sharing this site!
I would have to say the best ones on ther website are the dark chocolate with any kinds of nuts of berries. I would love the opportunity to create my own. These looks like a great holiday gift
I love every bar in the Ritter brand. My favorites are probably milk chocolate with cornflakes or dark chocolate with Marzipan. But I’m going to design my dream chocolate bar right now!
Sweet and salty. :]
* Dark Chocolate
* Caramel Pieces
* Sea Salt
* Roasted Pistachios
* Organic Cashews
* Organic Date Pieces
Mmm! I would do dark chocolate with hazelnuts, chipotles, cinnamon and cocoa nibs!
Yummy! I would pick dark chocolate with toffee bits, pecans and white chocolate chips. So many choices…..I could seriously daydream at that site.
I might try the marshmallows and teddy grahams. But all those other ingredients look interesting too…oreo pieces?…cherrios?…beef jerky?
I would create a s’more chocolate bar to send to my best friend (who is currently studying abroad in Australia). S’mores were always a summer tradition for us, and I miss our time spent together.
white chocolate, toasted coconut, and roasted macadamia nuts. mmm.
I’m a fan now!
Also, my chocolate bar would be dark chocolate, coconut and curry or dark chocolate, cocoa nibs, goji berries and sea salt. I’m also really intrigued by the idea of beef jerky in chocolate… I’ve had chocolate with bacon pieces and it was amazing.
CRAP – that was supposed to say I am NOW a Facebook fan!!
VANILLA BEAN would be a great ingredient – and also, i’m not a Facebook fan :)
Mmmm… I am getting hungry just thinking about it.
Either:
-dark chocolate
-almonds
sea salt
or:
-milk chocolate
-oreos
The 29th is my birthday and this would be a great b-day present!
i should also mention i added the rss feed, am a fan on facebook, and posted it on my facebook :)
This is the most amazing site ever!
my dream choclate bar would probably have
milk chocolate
m&m’s
teddy ghram’s
caramel pieces

I love chocolate with coconut and almonds in it.
I’m a subscriber!
I became a fan of yours on facebook as well.
Oh no! To decide on just one… gummy bears and chocolate are my weakness but I may love some cashews with a bit of sea salt with the dark chocolate.
Ok, so I started building this amazing milk chocolate, macadamia nut, coconut bar and then I got completely distracted by all the candy add-ins. At that point my brain just about went on overload!
$25 would go so fast!!! Hope I win.
And am now a Facebook fan! :)
I also subscribe to your blog through my Google Reader!
What a great idea! Mine would be a dark chocolate bar with pistachios, mango and candy orange slices, yummm!!

hmm…well my favorite chocolate bar would have to be a milk chocolate bar with caramel somewhere in it!
Just became a facebook fan for an extra entry.
Dark Chocolate with every nut available.
That would be my dream chocolate bar.
Anything with white chocolate… I love the creaminess =)
I love espresso beans and chocolate, but I think that toasted coconut with pineapple pieces in white chocolate would be delicious too!

Really, I don’t judge when it comes to candy bars, but I do love a good Twix bar!

I love dark chocolate with almonds…although if I win I might have to come up with something more exotic!

Oh. My. Goodness. This is genius. I can’t believe no one thought of this before. I would do dark chocolate, sea salt, hazelnuts and caramel. My mouth is watering right now.

I think I’d do white chocolate with toffee pieces. Or maybe milk chocolate with toffee pieces and white chocolate pieces. But then again mini pretzels would be good too. I just don’t know!
I’m already subscribed to your blog via RSS

dark chocolate with toffee and a butterfly for sure!
Just signed up for RSS feed too!
Oh my god, seriously that chocolate bar with the teddy grahams and the marshmallows literally looks to die for. But, if I were to design my own, it would probably be milk chocolate with peppermint candy pieces, mini marshmallows and cinnamon. Sort of like hot chocolate transformed into a candy bar!

Hello Smores Bar!
And I’m a FB fan now, too!
I’m already drooling! Dark chocolate, for sure! Add some coconut, cinnamon, caramel, salt, and cocoa beans and you’ve got heaven in a box!
If I could make my own chocomize chocolate bar it would be dark chocolate with sliced almonds and caramel pieces. Yum!
i love dark chocolate w/ raspberry filling!
Dark chocolate with peanut chips, pretzels, and caramel. A super-decadent take 5!
If I could design my own chocolate bar I would go for dark chocolate with almond slices in it. Mmmmm, I added you on Facebook too! Thank you!
I posted it on my facebook page! LOVE IT!!
I’m really into white chocolate these days. I love the white chocolate cookies and cream bars! Mmmm!
These look amazing! I would definitely order a dark chocolate bar and probably throw in some hazelnuts and a sprinkle of sea salt. Yum!
What a cool website! I love the smore chocolate bar, but I went on and changed my teddy grahams to cinnamon toast crunch cereal! yummy!
I would love to do one with some of the yummy dried fruit too, like strawberries or cranberries!
I’ve heard bacon and chocolate are good…do they have that?
My dream bar – milk chocolate with toffee. And caramel. And coconut. Too many yummies to choose from!
I think the real question is clear, can you use bacon as a decoration? If so, I’d definitely go for some dark chocolate and bacon. For some reason I can’t get enough of salty sweet combos, recently…
I’ve really been enjoying sea salt chocolate lately. Also, chocolate with earl grey tea leaves! Elizabeth at Sahagun Chocolates also created a sunflower butter chocolate drop that made me incredibly happy.
As to what I’d design myself, I’m not sure. Something flirting with savory, I think. (Chocolate with bacon was a one-time favorite of mine, too.)
milk chocolate with carmel and almonds
I just signed up to their facebook page and left a message on the wall. Took me 6 tries to get past that nasty captcha!
Oo. I think I would go for dark chocolate with cocoa nibs and graham crackers. Mm. Though the s’mores one looks fabulous as well…
OMG, this is such a cool idea! Love it. :) It would be HARD to pick, but I think I would go with a milk chocolate bar with sea salt, crunchy almond croquant, and caramel pieces. Yum!
What fun. There’s so much to choose from, but dark chocolate goes with everything, right?
Already a rss subscribe to your blog so I don’t miss a great giveaway option like this.
My favorite candy is Milky Way…but I think I would make a bar with some toffee in it! So many options on their site!
Omgoodness what a concept this is! I’d create this one: milk chocolate bar with coconut, pecans,marshmallow pieces,toffee bits,rice krispy pcs and a layer of caramel then drenched in white chocolate. How decadent does that sound? ha ha
Mmm, chocolate to my specifications! Let’s chocomize!
My favorite chocolate bar would be milk chocolate with peanut butter drops and cinnamon powder.
I’ve ‘liked’ you on facebook, posted it on my facebook, and subscribed to your feed via google.
I’ve wanted to buy some Chocomize goodies for a while! My ideal would be a White Chocolate Raspberry Mocha bar: white chocolate base topped with dark chocolate chips, ground coffee, and dried raspberries. :)
oh my… how amazingly tempting!
First, dark chocolate… then rasberries, mangoes and the dried flower mix :)
I reposted on facebook and I am a facebook fan :)
dark chocolate all the way, baby! throw in some sliced almonds, maybe some dried mango…
or maybe milk chocolate with marshmallows and sprinkles…
or white chocolate with oreos.
heavens to betsy.
If I was going to build my own chocolate bar… it would be milk chocolate, with toffee, caramel pieces, sour dried cherries, and pop rocks. Yum! :)
YUM!!! I love Almond Joy. If I could make my own chocolate bar, it would include dark chocolate, hazelnut and cranberries.
