Cold Case Suga Snax

Some cases stay open on purpose. Corn-and-rice cereal squares tumbled in a near-black dark-chocolate coating, crushed red-and-white peppermint fleck and hickory-smoked cacao nibs pressed in while it sets, then dredged in cocoa-dark powdered sugar. Black sesame sits in the shadow of it; bourbon signs the finish. The mint arrives sharp and leaves a chill; the dark closes back over it like nothing happened. Theatrical flavor, dollar-store cost basis — the peppermint oil that does all the talking lives in trace drops.

Storage

Store sealed at 60–72°F (16–22°C) in a cool, dry place away from direct light, heat, and humidity. Best within 30 days of opening. Re-seal the zip top after every encounter — the powdered-sugar coating pulls moisture from open air and will clump if it’s left breathing. Do not refrigerate — condensation turns the powder tacky. Do not freeze. Peppermint is volatile — keep sealed so the mint edge stays sharp instead of fading flat.
