We are some serious chocolate lovers in this house. Hot chocolate is an extra special treat. We don’t have it very often, but when we do, dark, rich and smooth is how we like it and we don’t play around. There’s nothing like cozying up on the couch or in a big chair for a quiet moment with a warm cup of rich chocolate… until I discovered this snack mix.
It’s like hot chocolate with a crunch. You can eat it by the handfuls. And it might just be the best chocolate snack I’ve ever had.
