YUM PIG Tip 🐷
Chocolate and a touch of Feed Trough Starter™ Habanero are a perfect match. The rich chocolate softens the heat while the habanero adds a subtle, warm finish that keeps you coming back for another bite. Pair these cookies with a fresh cup of YUM PIG House Blend or Espresso Blend for a sweet treat with just the right kick.
