A company called Diva Chocolates, LLC is marketing a line of chocolate grilling rubs for beef, poultry, and pork.

Sprinkle just one or two teaspoons of their chocolate rubs into a rib eye or chicken breast, the same way you'd do with any other kind of rub, then slap it down on the grill.

Varieties include:

• Mocha Java Steak Rub - A rich blend of espresso and dark chocolate, with a hint of cinnamon



• Orange Chocolate Chicken Rub - A subtle mix of orange peel and roasted cacao nibs (coca beans), combined with a selection of herbs and seasonings



• Spicy Rib Rub - A trademark combination of brown sugar, cocoa, paprika and pepper, perfect for pork



• Kickin' Chocolate Beef Rub - Red and cayenne peppers mixed with chocolate and tossed with herbs and seasonings



• Cocoa Fennel Burger Mix - Natural fennel and onion crown a seasoning blend of sweet paprika, cocoa and herbs



• Cranberry Cocoa Bean Rub - Rosemary and sage, dried cranberries and roasted cacao nibs (cocoa beans)

All are presented in a 3oz tin priced at $4.95, except for the Cranberry Cocoa Bean Rub, which comes in a 5oz tin priced at $7.95.
