Today was Day #4 of Chocolate and Mint Theme Week.

I like honey, and I like chocolate. So, I was looking forward to trying these gluten-free and dairy-free Chocolate Honey Mints from Honey Acres (Ashippun, WI).

Each of the three gold foil-wrapped mints in this package was filled with peppermint oil infused honey and covered in 99% dark chocolate, creating a bold contrast between the "lighter" mint honey inside and the unsweetened, very dark chocolate coating.

Honey Acres is a family owned and operated business in Wisconsin with access to their own bee hives. They produce and sell a variety of honey-related offerings, including: honey (basswood, clover, orange blossom, buckwheat, wildflower), honey mustard and dark chocolates.
