Chocolate bomb

A chocolate bomb (Hindi: सुतरी बम) is a special kind of firecracker that people light during happy times like Diwali and New Year's Eve in India. These firecrackers are small paper boxes filled with gunpowder. After putting a fuse in the corner, the boxes are wrapped with strong strings and left out in the sun to dry for three days. Finally, they are covered in shiny aluminum foil that looks like chocolate candy.

In the 1990s, a brand called Burima made chocolate bombs that many people loved, especially in a city called Kolkata. But later, these firecrackers were made illegal in a region called West Bengal because they could be unsafe. Even though they look like tasty chocolates, they are meant to make loud noises and sparks for celebrations.
