Does anyone get a sweet tooth when they have the munchies? Has your mind ever ventured into the world of ‘I wonder what I would be if I was a chocolate bar’? If you can relate, you won’t be able to leave this page without knowing just WHAT chocolate your zodiac sign is.

Jason Vishnefske from Santa Barbara Chocolate unveiled 12 delicious chocolate flavour combinations, each tailored to match the distinct traits of every star sign.

Did they get it right?

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) – Caramel

Traditional, classic, but irresistible—that’s a Capricorn and caramel chocolate for you! Ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline and ambition, Capricorns are known for their practicality, determination, and unwavering work ethic.

‘Caramel, despite its sweetness, adds a depth and a warmth to chocolate,’ notes Jason. ‘It’s why this flavour combination is one of the most popular and has stood the test of time.’

Capricorns are reflected in this pairing well, as they add depth, warmth, and wisdom to any interaction. Their Earth-elemental nature resonates with the grounded sweetness of caramel, symbolising their reliability and steadfastness. So, when you bite into caramel chocolate, think of the dependable and comforting presence of a Capricorn by your side.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) – Lavender

Imaginative, unconventional, and always marching to the beat of their own drum— that’s an Aquarius for you! Ruled by Uranus, the planet of innovation and individuality, Aquarians are known for their forward-thinking nature and unique perspective on the world.

‘Lavender, or any floral, is a subtle flavour when added to chocolate,’ says Jason. ‘It’s still distinct, however, and anyone with a creative spirit will appreciate it.’

Like lavender, Aquarians bring a sense of calm and tranquillity to any situation, but with a twist of unexpectedness that keeps things interesting. Just as lavender adds a refreshing twist to chocolate, Aquarians infuse fresh air into every encounter.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20) – Acai

This flavour isn’t just for a smoothie bowl— it’s for a Pisces too! Ruled by Neptune, the planet of intuition and dreams, Pisceans are known for their deep empathy, imagination, and spiritual insight. Like exotic and nutritious acai berries, they bring mystery and depth to any situation.

The health benefits of acai mirror the wisdom and healing qualities of the oldest sign in the Zodiac. Just as acai adds vitality to any dish, Pisces infuse every interaction with their compassionate and intuitive energy. So, when you taste acai-flavoured chocolate, think of Pisces’s nourishing and insightful presence guiding you on your journey.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) – Cayenne Pepper

If there’s one thing an Aries knows best, it’s that everything’s better with a little fire. An Aries is a perfect mix of spicy and sweet, representing youth and innocence as it’s the first Zodiac sign and heat as a fire sign ruled by Mars.

Jason says, ‘Just like how these flavours blend in chocolate, Aries mixes sweetness with a little kick. Not everyone can handle this flavour, just like not everyone can handle Aries’ fiery personality. But for those who can, they’re in the elite club!’

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) –  Peanut Butter Chocolate

Jason says, ‘If you’re a Taurus, you might’ve been called a homebody or introvert, but who doesn’t love cosiness? And what’s cosier than the timeless duo of peanut butter and chocolate? Like this flavour, Taurus knows how to appreciate the classics while indulging in something deliciously comforting.’

Tauruses, being an earth sign, are grounded and practical, just like the earthy flavour of peanuts. They have a knack for enjoying life’s simple pleasures and finding contentment in the familiar. Peanut butter’s rich, nutty taste resonates with Taurus’s appreciation for stability and reliability. So, if you’re a Taurus, embrace your earthy peanut butter vibe and savour the grounded sweetness it brings to your life.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) – White Chocolate

Even sceptics can’t resist raising an eyebrow at a Gemini, known as one of the most controversial signs in the Zodiac. With their twin symbol, some call them two-faced, but really, Geminis are just full of layers. So, dive into the controversy with the most debated chocolate around.

‘White chocolate often sparks arguments—it’s made from cocoa butter but lacks cocoa solids, unlike its darker counterparts,’ notes Jason. ‘Yet, cocoa butter does come from the chocolate plant, so people who say white is ‘not real chocolate’ are technically wrong.’

So, while white chocolate is both chocolate and not chocolate simultaneously, it’s just as multi-dimensional as this notorious astrological sign.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) – Birthday Cake

It’s your party, and you’ll cry if you want to, Cancer. After all, as a Cancer, you’re known for your deep emotional connection and sensitivity. And what’s better after a good cry than indulging in a slice of cake? Feeling deeply is Cancer’s superpower, and every superhero needs the right fuel.

Now, chocolate bars come in birthday cake flavour, complete with sprinkles! So embrace your emotions and treat yourself to a taste that’s as comforting and sweet as your nurturing personality.

‘Chocolatiers like to experiment with trendy flavours,’ says Jason. ‘Those who do it well can capture the taste of an entirely different dessert within the chocolate medium.’

Leo (July 23 – August 22) – Gold-Flaked

Leo isn’t going to be a chocolate bar you can find in any old grocery store—picture instead a decadent display in a Parisian patisserie crafted by skilled chocolatiers. Leos, ruled by the sun, naturally gravitate toward the spotlight. They’re known for their confidence, generosity, and magnetic charisma. Just like how gold flakes catch the eye, Leos command attention wherever they go. So, it’s only fitting that their chocolate is as bold and captivating as they are!

Virgo (August 23 – September 22) – Coffee

Virgos, ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and precision, are like that reliable cup of morning joe—they’ll pick you up when you’re feeling down with their analytical and practical approach. Coffee and chocolate make a classic duo, blending seamlessly just like a perfectionist Virgo.

With their attention to detail and knack for organisation, you can count on a Virgo to handle any situation gracefully. This flavour pairs perfectly with either milk or dark chocolate, depending on your mood for sweetness. So, whether you need a boost or a moment of indulgence, Virgo’s coffee-flavoured chocolate has got you

Libra (September 23 – October 22) – Dark Chocolate Sea Salt

A great salted chocolate nails the perfect balance between sweet and savoury, just like a Libra, who’s all about finding harmony in life’s flavours. This Air sign, ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, seeks fairness and elegance in everything they do. The dark chocolate element adds a touch of sophistication and depth, reflecting Libra’s refined taste. Picture a Libra indulging in this chocolate, eyes closed, savouring every moment—a poetic experience that resonates with their romantic nature. Dreamy and balanced, it’s a perfect treat for the Libra palate!

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) Extra Dark Chocolate Raspberry

Scorpios are mysterious, alluring, and, let’s face it, pretty sexy. But beneath their tough exterior lies a sweetness you might not expect. Think of them like extra dark chocolate—80% cacao or more. Sure, it’s intense and bitter at first, but then you discover the sweet surprise inside, just like these water signs. And adding raspberry? It’s like uncovering a secret delight that perfectly complements their complex nature.

‘The percentages on chocolate bars reflect the ratio of cacao products to sugar; the higher the percentage, the more bitter a chocolate will be,’ says Jason.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21) – Ginger Lemon

This archer always hits the mark! Just like the layers in every Sagittarius, the sweet, sour, and spice in ginger lemon chocolate highlights their complexity. Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and adventure, Sagittarians are known for their optimistic and adventurous spirit.

Sagittarius’s elemental fire resonates with ginger’s warmth, adding a fiery kick to their personality. Meanwhile, the zesty lemon reflects their lively and energetic nature, always seeking new experiences and excitement. It’s a surprising mix, but who else but creative chocolatiers (maybe even some Sagittariuses themselves?) could dream up such a bold flavour combo?

‘Ginger adds just the right kick to chocolate, imitating the shock factor of the spiciness from a chilli but still being bright enough to dance on the palette instead of making the consumer want to reach for a glass of water,’ Jason says.
