It’s a cool contest and all but I have one complaint about the new products offered.
Most of them aren’t dark chocolate. I mean it’s the “Dark” Knight and they didn’t capitalize on this.
They did use dark cups but it’s the only treat and since they’re already out on the marked I hardly think it was on purpose.CC
