St. Patty’s Day Mint Chocolate Shortbread

Chocolate can be rich, bitter, sweet, nutty, and even floral, depending on the type.

And, of course, MY type is the cream of the crop – Righteous Cacao RAW Divine Mint Chocolate. THE VERY BEST, always.

 

Chocolate can be well paired with so many different flavors, but refreshing mint green is sweet and cooling, and perfect for St. Patrick’s Day!!!

 

Get your green on!
