Dark Chocolate


Once in a while I run across a mouth watering chocolate find that I just have to share and today I ran in to the Peanut Butter & Co Dark Chocolate Dream. This delicious chocolate and peanut butter combination is so good for so many reasons but primarily for it’s taste! Imagine having Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups that you could spread, imagining? Well that is exactly what eating this delicious dark chocolate peanut butter is like!  As if taste wasn’t enough to push you to try this new chocolate find here are a few more things you should know about this delicious treat:

- It contains no cholesterol
- It contains no trans-fats
- It contains no hydrogenated oils
- It contains no high-fructose corn syrup
- It’s gluten-free
