Madhu Chocolate Bars

Who doesn’t love chocolate? Go local for your Texas Henna celebrations by opting for Madhu Chocolate bars as party favors.

To top this, Madhu Chocolate and Milk and Cardamom just announced a scrumptious collaboration with new bold bonbon flavors, including Kesar Badam with a saffron milk chocolate ganache; Morning Chai with Parle G biscuits, and Golden Milk with turmeric, saffron, and cardamom!
