CES 2026’s Wildest Demo: A Vending Machine That Prints Chocolate as Performance Art
Buying chocolate from a machine usually feels about as exciting as feeding coins to a parking meter. Sweet Robo's ChocoPrint™changes that equation entirely, printing custom chocolate shapes and logos on demand when it debuts at CES 2026.
Live Chocolate Printing Debuts at Vegas Convention Center
The ChocoPrint™ will showcase live printing at Las Vegas Convention Center's North Hall, Booth #8417, from January 5-8. You'll watch chocolate transform from raw material into personalized shapes, company logos, or custom designs—turning a simple purchase into something worth posting about.
This isn't your mall's tired candy dispenser; it's experiential retail that makes transactions memorable.
Global Network Powers Automated Food Revolution
Sweet Robo already runs a massive network spanning 25 countries, including recent deployments at Hersheypark in Q3 2025. Their Robo Ice Cream F2 produces servings in 35 secondswith 100-serving capacity, while the Cotton Candy VXcreates Instagram-worthy treats.
The ChocoPrint™ joins this ecosystem alongside PopCart, Balloon Bot, and other automated entertainers —each designed to work without staff intervention.
Revenue-Sharing Model Attracts Venue Operators
"Reduce friction. Increase delight. Help operators/brands grow revenue through experiences," according to Dennis Branch, Sweet Robo's Chief Revenue Officer. The company offers revenue-sharing partnerships that turn dead lobby space into profit centers.
With touchscreen payments, mobile app tracking, and full warranty support from their New York-based team, venues get the TikTok-worthy spectacle without the operational headaches. You manage remotely while the robots handle the crowds.
Customization Meets Mass Market Appeal
ChocoPrint™ represents Sweet Robo's bet that consumers crave personalization even in quick purchases. Corporate events can print logos, theme parks can create branded souvenirs, and shopping centers can offer custom designs.
The technology bridges the gap between mass-market convenience and artisanal customization—exactly what today's experience-hungry consumers expect from retail encounters.
