The bars come in four flavors: brown rice crisp, corn flake, granola and graham cracker. Moo is the brainchild of Jackie Ekholm, a Connecticut mom who got the idea for the chocolate bars while hiking in Switzerland with her kids. Munching on Swiss chocolate, they wondered why the chocolate in Switzerland tasted so much better than the chocolate at home. They decided then and there to start their own chocolate company, naming it Moo, after the cows that dot the Swiss countryside. Moo Kids Chocolate is available in New York City and throughout New England at Whole Foods and in fine food stores in major metropolitan areas across the United States. (check the Moo website for details: www.moochocolates.com/Locations.html.) Help name the Moo cows! If you provide the winning names, you’ll get a free case of your favorite Moo.
