Chocolate Pairings. Chocolate and roses, yes. Chocolate and cheese. Chocolate and wine. It’s not new to put chocolate with something else that complements it, but we’re seeing a lot more of it. Cookies & Corks has put a twist on wine paring by creating all-natural cookie recipes designed to pair with wines (and coming complete with a wine pairing chart in every box). While we expect the alcohol and chocolate category to grow, we aren’t seeing a slow down in chocolate paired with salt, either. Even the everyday bistros are showing off their trends by dipping house made potato chips in chocolate for an after-dinner treat.
