best fair traded

gregarious yet discerning

a filling or shell

enriching other foods

sugared and salted

cinnamon splattered

chili enhanced

add raspberries

cherries, oranges

almonds, hazelnuts

marshmallows, caramel

gift of the gods and a tribute too

ancient Mayans

brought to life

now spanning the world

filling my cupboards

pockets and purse

joyfully coating my tongue
