That sounds too good!

I think I would sprinkle some coconut on them too.

Maple Tea

Add pure grade A maple syurp to hot water.

Add till desired sweetness and flavor.

It tastes so good it must be bad for you!


I drive over Shade mountain in central Pa. USA while traveling between the two quarries I work for. There is a small building about the size of an old out house along the Route 104 where they sell fresh maple syurp on the honor system. One day I stopped and bought some maple syrup and took it back to National Limestone Quarry where I work. We have a hot or cold water dispenser. Some times we make tea or instant coffee or hot coca. One day I thought about trying maple syurp in my tea but decided to skip the tea after I saw the maple tea. I tasted it and a new drink was born.

Pecans or peanuts can also be added instead of or together with the chocolate
