It all started
with London broil and brownie goo. We were camping
with our families at Detroit Lake, Oregon - yes,
Divas camp! For an after dinner treat, we decided
to bake a batch of brownies, cooking them in a foil
pan over the open fire. We knew the brownies wouldn't
bake like they did in an oven, but the smoky, warm
dough was supposed to get crusty on the bottom from
the direct flame-to-pan contact and set in the center
enough so that we could cut and serve it to our
fellow campers.
It didn't. It began to burn on the bottom and stayed
gooey on the top. But the smell was overwhelmingly
enticing, so we began to dip things into the half-baked
batter.
We started with the obvious - cookies, marshmallows,
slices of fruit.
Soon tiring of the ordinary, we began to brainstorm
- what else we could use to scoop up the fire-roasted
brownie. Tortilla chips...excellent! The salt and
sweet, the undercooked cookie and the crunchy-snap
of the chip made for a savory combination.
We looked around the campsite. What else could we
try? Lettuce from the salad? Tasty. The cool watery
leafs were ideal wraps for the gooey filling. Potatoes
that had been wrapped in foil and baked in the coals?
The spud's buttery earthiness complemented the charcoaled
sweetness of the melting brownie. The London broil
we'd grilled as our entree? Could it be done? Had
we found the line that shouldn't be crossed?
We exchanged that look … I'll try it, if you try
it.
Oh goodness!
It was excellent! The juices of the charred meat
melded perfectly with the thick, chocolate goo.
The theory we'd long espoused in jest was true …
Chocolate could - and should - be eaten with anything.
So why wasn't it? We knew we weren't the only chocolate
lovers in the world. Why were the only chocolate
products we could find on store shelves related
to dessert? Not that we don't indulge in chocolate
sweets, but there was a whole undiscovered world
of chocolate eats out there. We answered our own
questions quickly. Only true chocolate lovers would
ever dream of eating a chocolate steak.
So, we developed a line of grilling rubs for beef,
poultry and pork, toppings for salads and vegetables,
and a unique assortment of hot chocolates - unlike
anything you may have tasted before.
Diva Chocolate products
are sure to enrapture both chocolate lovers and
those who only occasionally indulge.
