Brookside Blues' Brother

Blueberry and Acai covered in dark chocolate

Finally found time to finish something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time, ever since I first tasted WF Blueberry Gummy Candy. A new and improved version of an old recipe of mine for Blueberry and Acai covered in Dark Chocolate.

WF Blueberry GummyCandy is delicious.It doesn’t really taste as much like a blueberry gummy candy as a blueberry fruit snack, which is awesome. Like one of those fruit snacks where artificial flavors are involved, but there’s also some real fruit in it. Nothing I would call an off-note. Sweet with a deep, saturated flavor and full chewy mouthfeel. The only thing is that it’s on the weak side, concentration-wise, compared to a lot of other WF Flavors. And It does seem like you would need some gummy candy flavor if you really want a blueberry gummy bear, but that’s ok. It tastes like there’s even room for this in something like a blueberry pie.

FLV Acai is an interesting flavor. The room note on this thing is ridiculous. Standalone vaping it at 1%, bystanders are straight-up walking into a dense cloud made of Brookside Acai and Blueberry chocolates. But it doesn't quite taste that way to the vaper. Everything else here is an attempt to bring the vape more in line with that room note. Half of FLV Acai is a drier cocoa note. The other half is a natural tart, dark berry flavor that tastes kind of like a combination of blueberries, cranberries, and pomegranate. This turns WF Blueberry Candy into the blueberry and acai center and adds some of the chocolate.

FLV Milk Chocolate is what I used to mix with the cocoa side of Acai to try to turn that into a dark chocolatey candy coating. I used less of it in this updated version, but it still makes up the backbone of the chocolate. Say what you will about FLV Milk Chocolate, it has backbone. But now, I’m able to level up this recipe by augmenting it with MF Dark Chocolate. Pricey, but potent and easily the best dark chocolate flavor I’ve tried. Could you sub VT Dark Chocolate, yes, probably, and around 1%, but you’ll need to steep this otherwise shake and vapable recipe for at least a week if you do that, and if you’re very sensitive to that pukey sour note some flavors have, I wouldn’t recommend even trying. Another suitable sub might be FLV Chocolate Deutsche at 0.5%, but then please leave out the FLV Sweet Coconut. The touch of it here helps separate the chocolate and fruit layers, and not actually make the recipe taste like coconut, but combine that with FLV Chocolate Deutsche and I think it’s very likely you’ll create a coconut blueberry acai chocolate which might taste good but is definitely not intended. Finally, I bumped up the CAP Super Sweet from 0.25% to 0.75%, it really completes the chocolate.
