Diva Chocolates Introduces New Line Of Chocolate Grilling Rubs

Company Shares Chocolate Philosophy and Recipe for Hazelnut Cocoa Grilled Chicken

Portland, OR - Fire up the grill and prepare your taste buds -- it's time for a chocolate barbecue. Yes, that's right. We said chocolate steak!

Diva Chocolates has launched a line of five chocolate grilling rubs and spice blends, ideal for seasoning beef, poultry and pork. All Diva Chocolates rubs use either roasted cocoa beans or unsweetened cocoa powders, which pair well with the smoky richness of grilled meats. The Diva Chocolates line includes:

• Mocha Java Steak Rub
  
• Orange Chocolate Chicken Rub
  
• Spicy Cocoa Rib Rub
  
• Kickin' Chocolate Beef Rub
  
• Cocoa Fennel Burger Mix

"Using chocolate as a seasoning for meat gives a gourmet edge to grilling," said Julie Berlin, co-president of Diva Chocolates. "We combine the goodness of chocolate with uncommon ingredients, such as orange peel, lemon grass, espresso, cinnamon, coriander and fennel to create a flavor sensation. Once you try a Diva grilling rub, you'll find it hard to go back to traditional barbecue seasoning."
