The product starts off with the brand's signature American-style pancake mix that only requires milk or plant-based milk to be prepared and is infused with the essence of chocolate to give it richer, fuller flavor. The pancake mix comes in packets that will make six pancakes, while it's also great for [making waffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberries-crme-pancake-waffle-mix).
