Behold: Sliced Chocolate, the Kraft Singles of the Confectionary World

If you've ever looked at a piece of toast and thought, "This is all right and all, but it could use some chocolate," you're in luck. A Japanese confectionary brand, Bourbon [1], is now selling malleable, individually wrapped slices of milk chocolate perfect for topping carb-y breakfast delights and desserts alike. Made with "nama" chocolate, a fudgy, soft combination of chocolate and cream, the chocolate slices appear to be similar in texture to firm, chilled ganache, like the center of a ganache truffle or, less appealingly, like the "cheese product" in Kraft Singles. Available in Japanese supermarkets as well as online [2] for ¥3,240, or about $27 for 12 packages of five slices, it's the confection you definitely didn't know you needed but just might love. Keep reading to see Bourbon's suggested uses for this novel sweet.
