Fonterra, a multinational dairy company based in New Zealand, recently introduced chocolate-flavored cheese slices called CHESDALE^TM, in markets across Asia. Within six months of launch in Taiwan, they amassed 10% share of the cheese market according to this article.

The thought of combining chocolate and cheese would make most Americans sick, but it can actually be quite a delicious pairing. I'm not saying Fonterra's chocoloate-flavored process cheese is any good, but chocolate and cheese together can make an amazing dessert. Take a wheel of brie, and slice it horizantally in half. Place a generous amount of some good chocolate on the bottom half and then place the top half of the brie back on the bottom (you're making a sandwich). Put it in a big dish to catch any "melting." Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Serve with warm crusty bread and enjoy...
