Chicken Skin-Infused Chocolate Bars

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Side of Milk' Chocolate Bar is Made With Chicken Skin

— February 6, 2020 — Unique
In a new collaboration between DL Chicken Shack and Beta5 Chocolates, the pair launched a unique new confectionary concept -- the 'Side of Milk' chocolate bar. This spicy product is made with 66 percent dark chocolate, DL’s chile Carolina Reaper dust blend, and infused with pieces of crispy chicken skin.

“Adam and I were brainstorming on how we could work together on something sweet, savory, and spicy,” Doug Stephen, co-owner of DL Chicken Shack and Downlow Burgers, said in a press statement. “The result is our Side of Milk chocolate bar. We’re really proud of it! The sweetness works so well with our Side of Milk chile dust. The spice lingers, and the crispy chicken skin gives it that saltiness and slight crunch.”

The Side of Milk is the first product in a new partnership between the pair with a new bar to be unveiled every month.
