Have you ever had Harry and David's Dark Chocolate Moose Munch? After we ate all the pieces with chocolate, I melted chocolate chips and drizzled it over the rest.

I didn't really have allergies or food intolerances until they cropped up in the last five years. Want me to lose my voice? Just give me a package of these.
