When Chocolate Meets Dinner

My father just returned from a trip to Germany, bearing a medley of quirky snack foods. One item I found to be particularly interesting was a white chocolate bar flavored with curry, coconut and banana.

The first taste instantly reminded me of Thai curry. I imagine this is what it would taste like if you put yellow curry in an ice cube tray and left it in the fridge for a while. While at first, I found this flavor off-putting, it definitely started to grow on me. Always fun to try something new...

I would have preferred to read this at 7pm, when I would have said "holy crap that sounds awesome". What brand chocolate is it? Do I need to jet overseas to find it, or is it hidden in some strange local outlet? I have a co-worker getting married in India next month, wouldn't mind trying it.

Here's a link to the company that makes the chocolate:

There's a bit of a language barrier, but here's a link for this bar in their shop:

Just be careful what you put in your Korb!
