IKEA's BELÖNING chocolate is a different kind of milk chocolate treat that requires more work than the average chocolate bar, as the animal chocolate is sold flat-packed and can be assembled to form a 3D moose. The novelty chocolate product taps into the self-assembly that IKEA's products are known for and it comes in three pieces to form the antlers, body and legs.
The chocolate itself is made from high-quality ingredients, including cocoa with a UTZ certification to support sustainable sourcing from the rainforest. IKEA's "milk chocolate moose" invites people of all ages to play with their food.
While the furniture retailer sells a variety of chocolate bars, this one promises to be one of the most fun and giftable.
