The craft chocolates will be sold for $7 each, with 1,000 bars available in each flavor. The bars have become a beloved icon representing the SDCC event and feeding convention goers since they were first launched in 2016. In fact, the last in-person San Diego Comic Con extravaganza saw the Convention Center’s food and beverage team sell out over 4,000 chocolate bars over four days, having prepared them every afternoon to preserve the perfect flavor.

To add to the excitement, golden tickets will be hidden inside four of the chocolate bars, which can then be redeemed for $100 Starbucks gift cards. Be sure to stop by and try your luck when visiting San Diego for the convention this year!

Misunderstood Villain
Clandestine flavors emerge through every encounter with the Misunderstood Villain, a zesty product of dark chocolate, local orange, Tajin, and smoked paprika.



Recess
With a rainbow blend of passion fruit, crispy mango, white chocolate, and Froot Loops, the Recess bar transports you to a vibrant land of four square, hopscotch, and kickball games.



Sunrise S’mores
Who says s’mores need to be evening desserts? Made with dark chocolate, Golden Grahams, and Lucky Charms marshmallows, the Sunrise S’mores bar is a tasty treat for any time of day.



Pixie's Garden
With floral notes and a smooth texture, the Pixie’s Garden bar is a fairytale flavor featuring white chocolate, hibiscus flower, and elderflower ganache

Quote
Tajín combines two of Mexican cuisine's signature flavors: chili spice and citrus. And it's become so popular over its 35-plus years that The New York Times said that, rather than simply being a seasoning, "Tajín is a lifestyle." While it was invented in 1985 and debuted in America in 1993, the seasoning has really exploded in popularity since 2012, and is now available in 35 countries.

Ooo! I've heard of these past years but have never seen them - where in the con center are these sold?  :)

it's a very small non-descript stand across the hallway from the Mrs. Field's Cookies. A person needs to really look for it- it blends in very well. There was a little old lady manning the booth last in-person con

I am a little disappointed that there isn't more SDCC-type theming to the bar labels.

Same, very disappointed. I went through and tried to find previous years and it really does seem like they barely tried to theme them this year. There seems to always be a s'mores bar but at least before they called it "Stranger S'mores". Others were Anime, Dragon Glass, Kryptonite, Saturday Morning Cartoons, Battle Bar, Dragon Smoke, and 50/30 (for SDCC 50th and the Convention Center's 30th).

I don't think I'll need to seek these out this year.

You're right, I didn't even notice that. What a weird omission. With 4 flavors at least one should be milk chocolate.

Although... from the pictures I think it's possible the press release mis-described Pixie's Garden? That bar looks like milk chocolate to me. The description says white chocolate, but if it's white chocolate it's heavily mixed with something else. Hibiscus s/b red and elderflower is pretty colorless, so...?

Its Elderflower Ganache. Ganache is a chocolate cream, I usually see it with cakes as icing or filling. That's what's giving it its milk chocolate color. Its not quite milk, but its cream, so its close enough. This is probably what you want if you want milk chocolate.
