Looking good all the way around 😄 Did you try a little bite of the cocoa just to see if it was bad? Glad the brownie was good, last one I had was bad. Thanks for sharing.

I heard a story about that stuff.

A couple guys were in Italy staying at a hotel. One of them opened a can of that. The cleaning staff came in the room, got a weird look on their face, and left immediately. The Hotel manager then appeared and apologized profusely, and Comped them another hotel room. LOL!!

Looks incredible from top to bottom, just wondering on how you store MREs to maintain that quality even decades after made?
