Chocolate drive

Published by edw0002 under litracy

We are doing a chocolate drive for the melbourne camp. Two days ago the chocolates arrived. I got two boxs to sell. There were six different types, Peppermint, plain chocolate, crunchie, top deck, mint chip and fruit and nut. In most boxs there were four of each type.
