BRUGES, Belgium (Reuters) - When Belgian chocolatier Dominique Persoone created a chocolate-sniffing device for a Rolling Stones party in 2007, he never imagined demand would stretch much beyond the rock 'n' roll scene. But, seven years later, he has sold 25,000 of them.
Inspired by a device his grandfather used to propel tobacco snuff up his nose, Persoone created a 'Chocolate Shooter' to deliver a hit of Dominican Republic or Peruvian cocoa powder, mixed with mint and either ginger or raspberry.
"The mint and the ginger really tinkle your nose," the 46-year-old said in his chocolate factory in the medieval city of Bruges. "Then the mint flavor goes down and the chocolate stays in your brain."
Tattoo-clad Persoone, who has collaborated with celebrated chefs such as The Fat Duck's Heston Blumenthal and elBulli's Ferran and Albert Adria, has a history of culinary innovation.
Alongside the classics, he has created chocolates flavored with bacon and onion, oysters and even grass.
It took some perfecting to create the snorting powder as chocolate itself was too dry. Before the successful formula was discovered, Persoone used a mix that included chili pepper.

‘Brown noser’ just got a whole new meaning...............
Honest, officer, it was COCOA!................
Baaah, chocolate clysters the way to go...
Peanuts get stuck in your nose................
Why? That’s all I have! Why?
Heaven forbid they “tinkle” you nose as supposedly the ginger additive does...
Your 'stash'?.................
Ohhhhhhhhh good grief
Persoone used a mix that included chili pepper...............!
Only if I have milk!
Can you say “Lung Infection” boys and girls?.............I knew you could!....................
You know where this is going....................legislatures and Congress to BAN CHOCOLATE as a DRUG...................
Over my dead body!
In the 80s cocaine users used to refer to $100 boogers (well that’s what I heard!)
These must be chocolate boogers. :)
I suppose the chocolate could be sterilized... frankly it sounds weird to me. I’d just as soon eat it. With plenty of sugar.
I have always had a weakness for chocolate. As a kid I used to drink Hershey’s syrup straight out of the can my mom had opened with a church key. That is a very fond childhood memory. To this day one of my wife’s favorite ploys to get me to do something she thinks I may not want to do is to give me a chunky bar. :)
Sounds weird but nothing illegal about it. If it can’t be taxed, though, wait for the libs to try to ban it.
I’m a chocoholic, but I wouldn’t EVEN snort the stuff. The delicacy of milk chocolate is best found on specific parts of the tongue. The results release your won endorphins ... oh my, that’s making me crave ...
