For some of us out here on the west coast winter had a slow start this year. But that does not mean we must forgo all that is winter! You may be missing the cooler weather and longer days but don’t let that stop you from cuddling up next to your wood burning fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa and Papa Ben’s Mandelbroyt. There is no better way to serve this time of year than with a Papa Ben’s twice-baked Minty Dark Chocolate Mandelbroyt. The delectable flavor blends a cool and fresh sensation with the dark scrumptiousness of a rich chocolate to create a mouth-watering delicacy. Seems impossible that something so tasty could be all-natural and dairy free, but it’s true… so indulge! You’ll find it hard to just have one. At just 80 calories per slice, our Mandelbroyt is sure to keep you satisfied (but not feeling guilty). Perfect for the the cold, or not so cold, nights with a cup of hot cocoa. And if your looking for an adult rendition to your hot cocoa here is our family secret recipe: 
Ingredients:

- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Heat the milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat until lukewarm; stir the cocoa powder and sugar into the warmed milk until dissolved. Add the vanilla, cinnamon, chili powder, nutmeg, and cloves and heat for another 5 minutes. ENJOY! From our family to yours! PBK
