Quite gangster, don't you think?
As per the website: "If you are looking for Chocolate Ammo, Chocolate Bullets, Chocolate Guns, or any other deliciously dangerous Chocolate Weapon...you have come to the right place! We carry a full array of Chocolate Weapons that will let you satisfy your sweet tooth, while reaffirming your Manly (or Tough-gal for the ladies) appearance."
But who would buy these choclate weapons? And who would have thought of them as a business? And why?
“Sseveral years ago we started a company called which manufactured and sold high end chocolate fountains to caterers, hotels, casinos, reception centers and other high end event centers. In addition to selling the chocolate fountains we also sold chocolate…and literally TONS and TONS of it. With our connection in the chocolate industry we had virtually a limitless supply of chocolate, and just as many chocolatiers and chocolate factories who could basically make anything and everything we ever wanted to.
While I was growing up we spent a lot of time in the mountains fishing, camping, and hunting. On a recent getaway vaction/hunting trip, we were all piled in the car..dirty, grimy – hadn’t bathed in days – and we were discussing our existing business, and ways we could help it grow. Someone blurted out
“We should make chocolate bullets.” (My Aside: As you do.)
We all had a good laugh for a few minutes while we imagined ourselves selling Chocolate Ammo to our current customers, which consisted of high end hotels and caterers and even brides. “Yeah, right…serioulsy. Chocolate bullets?!? (Their exclamation points, not mine) No way!!!!” (Ditto.)
And then it struck us… why not? Why shouldn’t we? Granted, our caterers and brides probably wouldn’t be thrilled about buying Chocolate Bullets, but as we started thinking about it we thought of more and more people who would buy the chocolate bullets and would get a kick out of them. I mean shoot…we thought it was a good idea – why wouldn’t others? We thought the Chocolate Ammo would be great stocking stuffers for outdoorsman, hunters, and people who love guns and love to shoot. So we decided to go for it. We contacted one of our chocolate factories and asked if they could make chocolate shaped bullets… after a good laugh (and after they realized we were serious…) they said that although they’d never made anything like this before they would love to give it a try.”
I mean …”Shoot!”
They’re special these Americans.
Special.

These are really interesting! I am a “hard core chocoholic.” “Death by chocolate” is a ting of the past, now that I discovered “Xocai Healthy Chocolate.” I can now enjoy my favorite thing in the world and feel “guilt free!”
