All of you sweet lovers out there, hear this: The a’chocolypse has arrived, and it’s pretty damn tasty. No, this isn’t the end of the world – it’s just the end of the chocolate bar as you know it. And for that you can thank Sweeteeth Chocolates, a little company based in Charleston, South Carolina that dreamed up the A’Chocolypse chocolate bar – four ounces of 70 percent dark chocolate, candied ginger, and tongue-tickling popping sugar.

Sweeteeth founder Eric “Jonny” Battles, who describes himself as “a tattooed Alabama boy and self-taught chocolatier,” has plenty of other ingenious flavor combinations up his sleeve. Try the PB&C chocolate bar, which marries peanut butter and hot, smoky chipotle pepper. Or the “Sea is for Caramel” bar – a luxe combination of dark chocolate, caramel, and fleur de sel. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can order a box of chocolates and you’ll get a surprise mix of all of the flavors that are brewing that week. Just a few bites should convince you: There’s a whole new world of chocolate out there, and it’s just waiting to be devoured.

Riffing on the idea that ‘eating was tending toward breathing’, Harvard professor David Edwards, in conjunction with design studio Le Laboratoire, has created Le Whif, the breathable chocolate. No chewing, no calories, and it comes in mint, rasberry, mango, and plain chocolate flavors. The product may just be a fancy scratch-and-sniff sticker, but it looks so sleek and design-y.
