THE CHALLENGE

Bars—you know you love ‘em.

Scharffen Berger and TuttiFoodie invite you to show your spirit of adventure. Combine Scharffen Berger chocolate with one or more of 12 adventure ingredients to create an original Bar recipe.

What constitutes a bar?  The category is large! Brownies. Blondies. Seven-Layer Bars. Snickerdoodles. Cookie-Based Bars. Ice Cream Bars. Handcrafted Candy Bars. Chocolate Bark. And more.  Serious yum, waiting for reinvention.  And sometimes all it takes is one adventurous ingredient.

You can enter up to 10 recipes. So what are you waiting for?
