In pop culture, there are many icons. Known by just one name, a particular catch phrase or just a certain look, some people and things are instantly identifiable. As Amazon Prime debuts Being the Ricardos, Compartés created a special limited edition chocolate inspired by the infamous red head who captivated everyone.

While many people know the first couple notes from the I Love Lucy theme song or even can recall some infamous episodes, another chocolate legends stems from Los Angeles. Compartés is a gourmet chocolatier that has become a favorite of Hollywood legions and foodies everywhere.

The often Instagrammed chocolate, the stunning look entices even before that first bite melts in the mouth. From the perfectly painted truffles to the intricate design on the chocolate bar, these special treats celebrate the subtly, beauty and craft that an impeccable chocolate offers.

Through its partnership with Amazon Prime, Compartés created a special, limited edition offering inspired by Being the Ricardos. While there is no Vitameatavegamin in this offering, the Being the Ricardos Bar is a red velvet cake bar that delights in both design and flavor.

Jonathan Grahm CEO & Founder of Compartés said, “Growing up the ‘I Love Lucy’ series was one of my favorite TV shows because we watched it all together as a family. I am so excited to create this special chocolate bar in homage to these iconic stars and in celebration of the Being the Ricardos with Prime Video.”

The experience begins with the packages. Combing colors of pink and blue, Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem, as their respective characters, grace the cover. While capturing that old school Hollywood glamor, it is almost a travesty to open the packaging. But, the treat waiting inside cannot be resisted.

As Grahm said, “With its rich Hollywood history, Compartés was a natural fit to create this modern day take on a Ricardos chocolate bar.” While the packaging brings the classic vibe, the chocolate inside pushes the flavor innovation.

The white chocolate red velvet cake bar brings that combination of sweet and tart in a luscious way. While the classic cake balances the rich chocolate with a cream cheese icing, this chocolate bar takes the eater on a journey of flavors. In some ways, it is just like an I Love Lucy episode, highs and lows but always a memorable experience.

From the sweetness of the white chocolate to the hint of tangy, it is hard to stop at just a single bite. After that first morsel, there is a longing for another piece. Even though a small sliver satisfies it can be hard to not yearn to finish it all in one sitting, just like binging that favorite television show. Overall, it is an eating experience that is quite delicious and leaves you wanting to experience it all over again.

The Compartés Red Velvet Cake bar is available for a limited time via the brand’s website. Being the Ricardos will be on Amazon Prime on December 21 and it is current in theaters.
