Many companies have been trying to find ways to be unique compared to everything available right now. To step out of the box, a Canadian company created a dill pickle chocolate bar that’s available just in time for April Fool’s Day.
Alicja Confections has become known for its delicious treats and mailable “postcard” chocolate bars. They recently came up with a new flavour that incorporates dill pickle, with many people online wanting to try it.
“Yes, we seriously made this bar,” Alicja Confections wrote in the caption of an Instagram post about the new flavor. “Yes, it’s actually good. Like, we ourselves were shocked by how good it is. If you like dill pickle anything, you need to get this.”
The inspiration for the chocolate came after a post the company actually made in 2022. “Last year on April Fool’s, we posted about what was at the time a fake new postcard chocolate bar flavour, dill pickle,” Alicja Confections founder Alicja Buchowicz said.
“We’re known for having pretty weird chocolate bar flavours like wasabi, corn, donuts… we put actual chunks of donuts in this one but dill pickle was next-level weird. When people figured out the bar was a joke, a lot of people were disappointed so we immediately started planning and testing to make this bar a reality.”
The bar launched on March 24, 2023, and combines the flavours of dill pickle with white chocolate. “It’s a very surprising flavour because you’d think, like, sour pickles and dill wouldn’t go well with white chocolate, but because our white chocolate isn’t crazy sweet like most, they complement each other really well and the pickle flavour shines through,” Buchowicz said.
The dill pickle chocolate bar is available online for $9.99 and can be sent in the mail as a postcard in Canada for $1.94.
