On Mixings / Hot Cocoa and Cashews

The combination has to be right; it seems better if the two items do not have similar flavors else one will overpower the other. For instance, the Kit Kat and Vanilla Ice Cream; the ice cream was so sweet that it took over the entire taste so that the Kit Kat did not heighten the taste enjoyment - the ice cream had a different consistency in that it became a bit crunchy but that's about it.

Hot Cocoa and Cashews

Here's what I use:

The taste of chocolate in this cocoa mix is rather subdued - its good but not overbearing. The cashews go very well with it.

One thing I'd like to mention is how chocolate cookies don't go well with this cocoa mix for the above-mentioned reason - the chocolate in the cookies is way too strong for the cocoa mix and washes it out; one might as well eat the cookies alone or with milk.
