What it is

- Dessert topping
Enjoy these candies straight from the package as a satisfying snack. They can also be served alongside coffee or tea for a flavorful accompaniment.

Their distinct flavor can add an unexpected twist to baked goods, such as cookies or brownies, when incorporated into the batter or sprinkled on top.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional chocolate candies that focus solely on sweetness, these incorporate a savory nut element and a spicy pepper note. This creates a more complex flavor experience that balances sweet, salty, and heat, setting them apart from more conventional confections.

How to keep the rest
Store any remaining candies in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain their texture and flavor. Avoid refrigerating, as this can cause the chocolate to bloom and affect the consistency.
