What is the first thing that comes to mind when Halloween approaches? Costumes, ghost stories, jack-o-lanterns? For me it is ... CHOCOLATE!
So this is a perfect time to talk about a favorite brand of mine → LEKKCO. This is a Belgian chocolate spread with all natural ingredients that is nut-free, gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan. It has only 4 grams of sugar and 60 calories per serving. And it tastes GREAT earning a Geek Daddy nod of approval!
The LEKKCO name is a blending of the Flemish words Lekker "something delicious" and Co "chocolate" tied to the Belgium originations of the brand's products. There are four flavors of LEKKCO to choose from: Dark Chocolate, Caramel & Sea Salt, Coconut and Caribbean Banana. It is available at over 2,500 retail locations including Kroger and Fred Meyer as well as online at amazon.com.
I love to dip pretzel sticks in LEKKCO to snack on while watching weekend football games and Halloween season horror movies. It also makes snacking on fruit like strawberries and blueberries extra tasty! I'll admit I've even included this Belgian chocolate spread into my breakfasts occasionally coating a toasted bagel with it. If you want to be creative, consider using it as an ingredient in a panini sandwich or a s'more-style desert. Oh so tasty!
Like my own daughter, the founders of LEKKCO have a child with dyslexia. I appreciate that they have decided that topic will be the company's focus for its charitable commitments. The brand's font is a variation of the dyslexie font which is designed to make it easier for dyslexic individual's to read. They've pledged to dedicate a portion of profits to support providing resources for public schools to assist kids with dyslexia. That is appreciated because we've found that the public schools my children have attended really honestly don't give a shit about helping kids with this learning disorder. There are many school aged children and their parents struggling with this disability so thank you LEKKCO for bringing attention and some resources to address this topic.
