Analysis of Ingredients



Ingredients should have a touch of love
Make a brilliant mixture
With blessings from above
In every heart this feeling should be a fixture
The dish is rich and so inviting,
Tantalizing nerves and senses
Taste buds and tongue, it’s so exciting
Overeat with consequences.
So relish and partake while food is waiting
And forget the critic and the measure
Eat to your heart’s content without abating
Lucky to devour this tasty treasure.
Here’s a hint:
Don’t be fascinated by the chocolate mint in your mouth –
it will quickly disappear but now you’re hooked for life
