Foodie Face Off: Round (Sponsored by NibMor)

You can’t BEET NibMor chocolate.

The month of February is an excuse to eat copious amounts of chocolate and blame it on your undying festivity for Valentine’s Day. And honestly? We’re here for it. At least there are companies like NibMor that are committed to selling organic, vegan, non-GMO products that make us feel a little less guilty about our month-long chocolate binge. We’re so excited that all of our Round 6 participants received a free variety pack of NibMor drinking chocolates: original, mint and 6-spice. These babies are versatile as heck. Just wait until you see what we came up with. And no, it’s not in a cup with hot water.

4. Fold in your Koala Crisps and mix until fully and evenly incorporated.

5. Press into a wax-paper lined dish to harden.
