Like to make my own mold, online. So many things suggest themselves!
Absolutely! That would be great, and a step we could take the site in the future.
What sort of things would you like to make? Personally, the next logical step is a chocolate pacman :)

Oh, chocolate chessmen for a friend of mine. Chocolate monopoly pieces. Chocolate tetris.
love the idea!
quick question: isn't this a packaging nightmare?
And along those lines: how cost efficient is your packaging compared with a main stream chocolate bar of the same weight/volume?
edit: assuming that the limited edition box isn't the long term plan.

Thanks! Glad you like it.
For the time being, we are doing a run with the special edition box. The future of the packaging is still to be determined, but we will be trying a few different directions.
But for now, we are really excited to have a box that people can keep & use after the chocolate is eaten.

A little bit about the project:
It started out as an experiment in fabrication at a FabLab. I wanted to learn CAD, CNC machine a few of my own molds, create a negative mold out of silicone resin and have Bryan (my partner and brilliant chocolatier) mold some chocolates. We successfully made a few molds and chocolate bars. They were bad ass, but it was just for fun. Then my obsession with invaders made it’s way into 3D. I thought pixels relate (beautifully) to squares of chocolate. People loved the idea and the experiment began. Fast forward a year, we decided to make it a product.
