Extra-Rich Restaurant Hot Chocolates

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Cracker Barrel Fudge Hot Chocolate is Indulgent

— February 18, 2022 — Lifestyle
The Cracker Barrel Fudge Hot Chocolate is being launched by the restaurant chain as an indulgent, extra-rich take on the classic hot wintertime beverage that will offer patrons an alternative option for dessert. The drink consists of a hot chocolate base that has been topped with chocolate whipped cream along with a drizzling of chocolate sauce to finish. This encourages patrons to enjoy it with a spoon to ensure they can enjoy all the components equally.

The Cracker Barrel Fudge Hot Chocolate is being launched for the cold weather months only and will be available only through May 15, 2022 at participating locations. The drink is likely to be favored amongst patrons seeking out a comforting treat to enjoy as a dessert.
