Bubble Chocolate Review and Giveaway (5 Winners!)

Although Bubble Chocolate is fairly new to the United States, it has long been enjoyed by people all over the world. Manufactured in Europe, Bubble Chocolate is aerated chocolate bars infused with air bubbles. It is created using the finest, all-natural ingredients. Bubble Chocolate comes in two very delicious types, Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate. For those with an intolerance to dairy, you will be happy to know that the Dark Chocolate Bars are dairy-free.

Although, I am usually a bigger fan of milk chocolate, I really enjoyed the Dark Chocolate bar better. It was so full of flavor and was very creamy.  The best way to enjoy this light chocolate treat is to break off a small piece and allow it to melt a bit before chewing. This allows the chocolate to become moist and creamy an utterly irresistible.

“Creating Bubble Chocolate is both an art and a science. Our proprietary procedure includes the following steps: first, infusing the bubbles throughout the chocolate at just the right time and temperature, followed by molding and cooling the chocolate so that the bubbly structure remains inside while the outer shell is formed.” Are you interested in trying Bubble Chocolate for yourself? You can pick up a bar at your local Wholefoods or order from their website here.

The generous people from Bubble Chocolate have offered 5 lucky readers of Between the Lines a bar of their Milk Chocolate and a bar of their Dark Chocolate!

Recipe Corner: Grilled Corn from Emeril

Now that grilling season is upon us, I have to share my all time favorite corn recipe. It takes a little prep the first time because you have to make the Essence seasoning, but then you have it stored for future use. I do not have the words to do this recipe justice. It is just that good! I hope you try it and enjoy! (Unlike the recipe, I removed the husks before grilling.  Just our preference.)

 Ingredients

• 4 ears yellow or white corn in their husks
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 lime, quartered
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

 - Pull back the husks on the corn and remove the silk. Pull the husks back into place and soak the corn in a large bowl of water for at least 2 and up to 4 hours. Remove and drain on paper towels.
 - Preheat the grill.
 - In a small bowl, mix the butter, Essence, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pull the husks down and spread 1 tablespoon of the mixture evenly over each ear of corn. Pull the husks back into place, tying the ends if necessary to keep in place.
 - Place on the grill and cook until the kernels are tender, about 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
 - Remove from the grill and carefully peel back the husks. Place on a platter and squeeze lime juice over each cob. Sprinkle with the cilantro and serve immediately.

Essence (Emeril's Creole Seasoning ):

• 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
• 1 tablespoon dried thyme

Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

Yield: about 2/3 cup
