so i'm FINALLY getting started on the confectionary of my dreams (ruler of MC is Libra Moon in the 1st - talk about a sweet tooth!!!) and i need help picking out flavors for each sign. for the holidays, i want to try to sell a special "zodiac" edition for this chocolate product i thought of, sell a box for each sign, etc.

Here's what I've got so far.

aries - chili pepper (spicy, exciting)
taurus - raspberry cheesecake (indulgent)
gemini - expresso beans (stimulating)
cancer - peanut butter chocolate (comfort food)
leo - champagne (fit for a king/queen) -OR- menthe orange (invigorating)
virgo - lemongrass + basil (cleansing)
libra - dulce de leche (indulgent, simple)
scorpio - rum flavored dark chocolate (dark, sensual)
sagittarius - candied ginger (exotic)
capricorn - hazelnut (earthy)
aquarius - ginger wasabi (stimulating)
pisces - sencha green tea (calming)

what do you guys think? I need just FLAVORINGS that pair well with chocolate (and milk), not fillings. I don't want to ruin the surprise on what exactly this product is, so i'll post a link later.

thanks in advance for any help!

I love it! The cancer one is great although I'm feeling the scorpio one too.. (but then I have a scorpio moon )

Gemini one is appealing too..... (venus and merc in Gem )

Maybe I just love chocolate too much

That is such an awesome idea! Especially with the current economic climate, there's a healthy demand for small luxuries like chocolates.

I don't know about all the signs' preferences, but I'm a Cap and yeah hazelnut (Nutella, yum!) is up there, along with coffee/mocha. I also love salted caramel but ain't sure if that would be flavoring or filling...I like sprinkling sea salt on top of my hot cocoa and letting it blend.

Oh yeah, and good guess on the one for Sagittarius... a Sag coworker of mine is crazy about candied ginger.

...Spicy chocolate?

*blank stare*

I like my chocolate basic - hand me a chocolate candy bar or chocolate chip cookies and I'm good. The only two things on there I'd actually try are the peanut butter one and the dulce de leche.

Then again my Venus in is Virgo so for me less is wayyyy more.

Well done! Im a Sag sun but would prefer Cap's hazelnut, i prefer simple tastes but i do love the idea, its very novelty and people love that so think it could be quite successful.

How about cinnamon as a flavor? Not sure which sign would be especially fond of it though.

First of all, that's a fantastic idea! Bravo!

Second of all, and to answer the question above, cinnamon ought to be a Cancer favorite. Say, cinnamon buns with honey.

A little criticism about the Aqua selection: sorry but no! Anything else other than wasabi pls! LOL

I am a Taurus moon and I love anything chocolatey. Cap's choice is a favorite. I am a Sag sun and I will try anything once! But my Aqua rising is not very happy with the selection above!!

Thanks for the replies everyone!

I wasn't too sure where to put the cinnamon. I was actually thinking about putting it down for Leo since it's an aromatic, warming spice. I've had a hard time figuring out Leo... I think the cinnamon will be my final decision.

Aqua I've also had a hard time with. Must be that axis! I have no Aqua or Leo influences in my chart. I don't even have anything in my 5th OR 11th. Now that I think about it... I have few Leo and Aqua friends... HMMMM.

Anyway, I think I'll make Aquarius menthe orange. Mint and orange just feel right to me for Aqua. Mint is supposed to invigorate the mind, according to my science teacher in the 8th grade. She used to give us mints to eat during class. Clearly what I remember her for. What do you guys think? I might scrap the orange, but I personally like orange mint chocolate. Not sure about anyone else.

--Nutella is a chocolate angel sent from heaven. SOOOO GOOD!!!!

An acquaintance of my father's sometimes gives him these candies with a bit of sea salt on top; my father shared some with me and those are really good too!

Me, my favorite filling for candy is anything chocolate-y or creamy; I don't eat sweets often, but on special occasions, I really love Lindor truffles, especially the stracciatella flavor. I also like marizpan.

Yes, as an Aqua rising with prominent Uranus, I agree with orange mint choc for Aqua.

And now where do u sell those because you inspired quite some cravings......... mmmm

I'm an Aries sun and although I like the idea of spicy chocolate, I wouldn't actually eat it (bias due to Taurus Moon maybe?)
I like anything that crunches in my chocolate - caramelized almonds, cereal, cookie chips. I'm trying to think of other flavors, but usually I get plain milk chocolate, probably due to the fact that I don't have the patience to browse

OK that's it. I know one thing I will have in my shopping list today: CHOCOLATE in all flavors and textures. Can we now stop it please, I can barely pick up my saliva from the floor...
I blame you ALL in this choc-string for my choc addiction as of now (don't get me wrong; my choc addiction has been around for a while, what starts now is my blaming it on YOU)! Perhaps I ought to have a box of choc next to my desk for emergencies like these i.e. when reading an extra dangerous choc-string on LL...
Seriously though it's weird: I don't care about sweets in general (can resist any of them without even blinking) but choc is a completely different matter for me! {{drooling}}
