'Got Milk?' Gets New Chocolate Syrup and Instant Chocolate From San Francisco Chocolate Factory

13/06/07 Since the launch of got milk? chocolate in 2005, chocolate lovers around the country have been clamoring for, well, chocolate milk.
  
Today, just in time for milkshake, malt and sundae season, San Francisco Chocolate Factory is proud to announce new additions to its got milk? chocolate line of milk chocolates -- Chocolate Syrup and an Instant Chocolate Drink Mix.

With an American Medical Association journal study published just last month linking chocolate and cocoa with significant health benefits such as lowered blood pressure and decreased levels of harmful cholesterol, chocolate has transformed from "sugary snack" to "good for you" power food. Additionally, researchers have found cocoa to contain more flavonoids (the antioxidants responsible for the aforementioned benefits), than red wine, green tea and black tea.

"These research studies mean great news for chocolate lovers," says San Francisco Chocolate Factory founder Mike Litton. "Chocolate is no longer a guilty treat."

San Francisco Chocolate Factory's got milk? chocolate products are made with a specially-crafted blend of high quality cacao beans and creamy, wholesome milk. Sure to please during the relaxing days of summer, got milk? chocolate syrup is ideal for drizzling atop sundaes and mud pies, or simply enjoyed by itself. For traditionalists, nothing beats the combination of milk and got milk? chocolate drink mix, according to Litton.

San Francisco Chocolate Factory, a boutique chocolate company based in San Francisco, holds exclusive rights to use the California Milk Processor Board's (CMPB) got milk? trademark for its gourmet milk chocolates. Packaged in signature, Holstein-print tins, got milk? chocolate products are both quality treats and whimsical collector's items. The Instant Chocolate Drink Mix is available on their web site at $4.99 per 15oz container, and the Chocolate Syrup is available at $4.50 per 24 oz. squeeze bottle. Both are sold in the San Francisco Chocolate Factory's San Francisco boutique and online at http://www.sfchocolate.com

"These days, dark chocolate may be a trendy standout," adds Litton, "and we have plenty of delicious options to satisfy any connoisseur's sweet tooth. But our smooth milk chocolate has won fans over for its creamy richness and depth. With the added health benefit of calcium, who can resist?"
