Featured Ingredients
Shaved Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate is made from the cacao bean, which is native to Central and South America. The beans are roasted and ground, and then mixed with sugar, milk, and other ingredients to create a smooth, rich chocolate.
Dark chocolate has a higher percentage of cacao than milk chocolate, or white chocolate, giving it a deeper flavor. It also contains more antioxidants than other types of chocolate.
Cream Cheese
Cream cheese is a type of soft cheese that is made from milk and cream. It has a smooth, creamy texture and a mild flavor.
Cream cheese is often used in recipes, such as dips, spreads, and desserts. It can also be eaten on its own, or served with crackers or fruit.
Cream cheese is available in both spreadable and solid forms, and comes in a variety of flavors.
