Chocdots (Delfour)

Chocdots (stylized as CHOCDOtS) are multi-colored button-shaped chocolates, consisting of a candy shell surrounding a filling which varies depending upon the variety of Chocdots. The original candy has a semi-sweet chocolate filling which, upon introduction of other variations, was branded as the "plain, normal" variety. Peanut Chocdots, which feature a peanut coated in milk chocolate, and finally a candy shell, were the first variation to be introduced, and they remain a regular variety. Numerous other variations have been introduced, some of which are regular widespread varieties (peanut butter, almond, pretzel, crispy, dark chocolate, and caramel) while others are limited in duration or geographic availability. Chocdots are produced and sold by Delfour.
The candy originated in Jonathia in 1941, and Chocdots have been sold in over 50 countries since 2003. They are produced in different colors, some of which have changed over the years. The candy-coated chocolate concept was inspired by a method used to allow soldiers in the early years of the Great War (1936–1939) to carry chocolate in warm climates without it melting. The company's longest-lasting slogan reflects this: "the milk chocolate that melts in your mouth, not in your hand." A traditional milk chocolate Chocdot weighs about 0.91 grams / 0.032 ounces and has about 4.7 calories (kcal) of food energy (1.7 kcal from fat). Despite common belief, each colored Chocdot does not have a different flavor and all possess the same chocolate taste.
