Godiva Releases 'Twilight' Chocolate Bar
Filed under: Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fandom, George Lucas, Harry Potter
As both a cinephile and a candy freak, I get excited anytime there's a new movie-themed confection (as you can see from this Cinematical Seven from last Halloween). While some tie-ins are less tasty than others -- it's no wonder that the movie theater I worked at had trouble pushing Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans at the concession stand -- everything is worth sampling. And from time to time, some candies, such as the Star Wars prequel-inspired dark chocolate M&Ms and this summer's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull-themed Snickers Adventures Bar, end up being far better than the movie they're helping to market. Being apparently one of the few people who has no interest in Twilight whatsoever, I'm sure to feel the same way about a new tie-in from Godiva, which MTV Movies Blog excitedly spotlighted this morning. It's actually more related to the books, as its packaging features the cover of the first book in Stephanie Meyers' popular series. And Barnes and Noble will begin selling them tomorrow in connection with this weekend's release of the fourth book of the Twilight Saga, "Breaking Dawn." However, you could certainly stock up now (they're probably a limited edition item), so that you can sneak one into the cinema each of those hundreds of times you'll be sitting through Twilight the movie this December. Or maybe a smart theater chain will sell them at their concession stand, to avoid having fans smuggle in contraband candy (if you know me well, you know I don't like to encourage sneaking snacks). Keep in mind, though, that there's nothing entirely special about this bar, except that it has a special Twilight-themed sleeve. Otherwise it's just simply Godiva's boring (yet delicious) old milk chocolate bar.

(Page 1)2. There is nothing "Boring" about the new Twilight Bar from Godiva.
I bought one of these bars today at Barnes & Noble and all I can say is WOW. It's really big, delicious, and you can slide the cover off and keep it!

3. By "boring" I merely meant "normal", as in it's just the same old milk chocolate bar Godiva has been making forever. It just has the special sleeve. Not a new Twilight-themed concoction a la the Snickers Adventure Bar.

Dumb.

5. I love the Twilight series and i love this chocolate! I think the punch line is awesome! "Can you resist temptation?" I mean it's perfect for this movie and this book plot.

6. Not all theaters have 'no food' policies. AMC theaters actually let you bring in your own food.

1. Oh That makes a lot of sense "boring yet delicious"?. I bought one of the new Godiva "Twilight" bars today at Barnes and Noble and it was fabulous. The packaging is great and the bar has an unbelieveably rich and creamy taste.
