Their peanut butter comes from food-grade, high-quality Virginia peanuts that have been slow-roasted to perfection, giving them the exact amount of bitterness. They are then slowly grounded to give them the right texture.
The smooth luscious chocolate that coats it is rich, luscious and just simply indulgent. They’ve been made with the highest quality of cacao beans and the chocolate is tempered perfectly to give it that crunch when you sink your teeth into it.
The chocolate can be melted in the microwave easily and is of the right amount of sweetness. They come in two variations, milk and dark chocolate with dark chocolate being the most popular.
