Brown Knows

Brown Paper Chocolates

Bright copper kettles. Warm woolen mittens. Sure, they sound lovely — but we understand if shiny pots and thick knitwear aren’t exactly a few of your favorite things.

After all, everyone knows the good stuff comes in brown paper packages — as in packages of Brown Paper Chocolates. These scrumptious sweets (tied up with string by request) from Houston are sold in white, dark, and milk varieties, as well as super-fun flavor combinations.

We recommend spicing things up with almonds, aged tequila, and ancho chile. Or getting a tad nutty with pistachio, Cointreau, dried cherry, and orange peel.

One bite of these delicious treats is sure to solve problems way better than Maria. And even though you may have a long, long way to run to work those calories off, it’s not like you’ll have to climb every mountain.

Simply remember to order well in advance of your next craving.

Then you won’t feel so bad.
