Diva Chocolates is a company that thinks you should be able to eat chocolate at any time of the day - not just for dessert. To this end, not only do they offer a line of decadent sounding hot chocolates, but they have grilling rubs as well. The rubs are blends of chocolate, cacao nibs, cocoa and spices that are designed to pair with specific types of meat, from beef steaks to chicken. Flavors include Mocha Java Steak Rub (espresso, dark chocolate and cinnamon), Spicy Pork Rib Rub (brown sugar, cocoa, paprika and pepper) and Orange Chocolate Chicken Rub (orange peel and roasted cacao nibs, along with a few other secret ingredients) are just a taste of their offerings. The Divas also have a page of recipe suggestions to get your grilling juices flowing.
I already use cocoa frequently when I'm making spice rubs myself, but I never thought of using actual chocolate to do so. Diva products are only available online at the moment, but they definitely sound like they're worth a try. It's nice to have lots of options on hand when the grilling season kicks off.
