My first taste of these cocoa pops began a little something like this . . .
- Bite one: Are they bitter or sweet?
- Bite two: I think I like these . . .
- Bite three: I think I love these . . .
- Bite four: I know I love these and I MUST make more!
It's the cycle of addiction my friends. Feel free to take part in mine so I don't feel alone :D
