Dear Bozo,
Choc-a-nuts tastes the same to me as Cafe du Monde. I don't buy it, but DH
will buy it if he has something quirky going on inside the head that day.
If I drink it, I make it STRONG, then add plenty of milk. Cinnamon and
cocoa might help. It's not a coffee I want to serve often. And I wouldn't
drink it without a tidbit (like beignets) to go along with it.
