While these bars nod to classic movie theater concessions, we couldn't help but wonder what an A24 movie-themed chocolate bar collection would look like. How would Heretictaste? Would The Witchfulfill its promises of living deliciously? So here, without further ado, are our pitches for 12 additional A24 chocolate bars, as varied and strange as the company's many offerings.
Everything Everywhere All at Once

We're talking a bar filled with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and kosher salt — we might skip the garlic and onion flakes. When you really put everything on a bagel, then on a chocolate bar, it becomes this. The truth. Nothing matters. — Shannon Connellan, UK Editor
Heretic

So how about we translate that experience to a chocolate bar next? Blueberry clusters give this dark chocolate a juicy pop, but a smoky aftertaste will leave you questioning your reality. But on the bright side, maybe if we give some of this to Mr. Reed, he'll let us out of his house of horrors? Please? — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

Credit: A24 We had to go with ruby chocolate for our I Saw the TV Glow-flavored bar, which pays tribute to the Buffy-esque series The Pink Opaque. Appropriately pink, and covered in sprinkles as a nod to the nightmarish Mr. Sprinkly, we can promise that this chocolate will taste exactlythe same now as it will decades down the line. — B.E.
Aftersun

Peppered with mini chunks of Turkish delight, this bar is sure to make you ponder your relationship with your father. Eat while listening to "Under Pressure" for the full effect. — B.E.
Midsommar

Instead, this beer-infused bar encourages you to celebrate the midsummer festival, with dried edible flowers sprinkled on top evoking everyone's majestic flower crowns. Don't worry; there definitely aren't any hallucinogens in this chocolate. Nothing suspicious at all. — B.E.
The Witch
Wouldst thou like to live deliciously... by sinking your teeth into this The Witchbar? In the spirit of Black Philip, we've thrown dark chocolate and butter together, because we wouldst like the taste of butter very much, thank you. — B.E.
Babygirl

Credit: A24 We've still got a bit of time before Halina Reijn's erotic thriller Babygirlcomes out, but that doesn't mean we can't fantasize (wink) about what it might taste like. From the trailer alone, we know that milk and cookies play key roles in Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson's BDSM courtship, so how about we make a milk chocolate bar studded with decadent cookie crumbles? Lap it up. — B.E.

Moonlight
The dinner Kevin (André Holland) makes Chiron (Trevante Rhodes) in the final act of Moonlight is one of the best food scenes put to film, so of course we have to pay homage to it in our Moonlight bar. In honor of Kevin's pollo a la plancha, this bar features hints of lime and cilantro. I don't care if that's polarizing — it's movie-accurate! — B.E.
The X trilogy
Mia Goth in "MaXXXine." Credit: A24 How do you sum up Ti West's genre-bending X trilogy in one tiny bar of chocolate? By splitting it into three parts, of course! One dark chocolate, one white chocolate, and one milk chocolate. Sample at will, or eat all three at once to experience three very different eras of horror — er, I mean types of chocolate. — B.E.

Inspired by the "Douglas fir parfait" Florence Pugh's chef Almut feeds to Andrew Garfield's Tobias, this bar is a pine emulsion-infused innovation. It's salty as hell, from the avalanche of tears we poured while watching this film. — S.C.

That's the case for Raven Jackson's moving directorial debut All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt. The title gives us one key ingredient already with salt, but we'll toss in flecks of edible clay to pay tribute to the film's focus on the tradition of eating clay dirt, and how it moves from generation to generation. — B.E.
Uncut Gems

Like A24's Fizzy Fountain Soda chocolate, this sweet is chock-full of popping candy — enough to make you feel like your mouth is going to explode and all your gambling plans are going to fall apart. Plus, Pop Rocks look like gems if you squint, right? — B.E.
