What I find puzzling is that this pink chocolate 'invented in 2017 by a Swiss company marketing to millenials' appears to have been available in British sweet shops for over 20 years. https://www.sweetsncandy.co.uk/a-jar-of-pink-and-white-chocolate-mice-1-5-kg-jar.html https://www.sweetsncandy.co.uk/a-jar-of-pink-and-white-choco... https://i.pinimg.com/originals/66/0b/87/660b8713654b075c0a8158d961ae02c4.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/originals/66/0b/87/660b8713654b075c0a81...

Hehe. I could be wrong but I think the pink chocolate mice are made with food colouring rather than coloured by the bean. They do seem rather cagey on how they process the bean though. A cacao pod sometimes looks slightly reddish, I wonder if the colour could come from that?

You know, I've never even considered that they were chocolate. I always thought they were just a smooth soft candy kind of thing. For, like, 4 decades.
