Knowing how this friend of mine is so much into business, I asked him if he is planning to sell VanHouten soon, and he said yes. So if ever you want to buy stocks of chocolate milk...

I was so inspired by all the dishes prepared at the Spuds and Dairy Culinary Cup that I decided to make my own. It’s a simple potato and dairy snack that you can easily prepare at home.
