Forget Nutella, sliced chocolate for sandwiches is now a thing

Save time on spreading your chocolate spread with these handy squares that look just like sliced cheese
How did no one think of this before?

Ever find yourself with no time or willpower to spread a filling onto your sandwiches? Then, providing you have a sweet tooth, this may be the ingenious lunchtime treat for you.

Japanese company Bourbon, which has nothing to do with booze, is selling slices of chocolate that look like the square slices of cheese you typically find on burgers, which can be quickly placed inside a sandwich when you’re in a rush.

Each pack contains five two-millimeter (0.08-inch) thick slices of what Japan calls “nama chocolate,” a rich, creamy confectionary that is typically more intense than usual chocolate.

The company say there are many ways you can enjoy their new product, such as inside pancakes, wrapped around bananas and sandwiched inside biscuits.

Chocolate pancake, anyone? (Bourbon)

When you think about it, it’s amazing that no one brought this to our plates sooner.

In addition to being sold in super markets, sliced nama chocolate is available through Bourbon’s online shop. Online orders can only be placed for bulk bundles of a dozen five-slice packs (which cost 3,240 yen [£17.55]), but somehow we imagine customers will have no trouble finding 60 ways to enjoy this new chocolatey treat.
