MRE Crackers are pretty inconspicuous. They don’t have a strong flavor or a strong smell. They are themselves really just carriers or fillers. Which is exactly what makes them a great means to an end of adding calories to an MRE meal
So since I’m a fan of chocolate I was thinking, “what besides peanut butter, cheese spread or plain butter could these humble carriers hold that would take them out of the mundane and into the realm of actually desirable?” Chocolate came to mind quickly.
I cannot think of too many things that have the transformative power of chocolate. Particularly dark chocolate. White chocolate has
For some reason, I also like the number 3. I’m not really sure there’s an interesting reason for that. It’s always been a favorite number, and when given an option to choose any number between 1 and whatever I often pick 3. It’s served me well. This week’s MRE Remix features 3 chocolate variations on this idea of

- Dark Chocolate dipped in shaved dark chocolate
- Dark Chocolate with Peanut Butter
It would be great if I had a really specific reason or story behind why I paired each of these cards with the flavor that I did. But in all honesty, there are 3 versions of this popular card currently in the 2MyHero lineup and my reason to which went with which cracker is random at best.
I could probably come up with something based on personal interactions with men and women in each of these branches, but I think I won’t go there.
There are enough jokes floating around the internet of put-downs between the branches. But, if you come up with a good reason for the pairings please leave a comment below! I’d love to hear your ideas!
I will say that my favorite one was the dark chocolate and peanut butter. It’s such a classic combination. It’s pretty hard to go wrong when you combine this pair of flavors. You don’t really need anything beyond the truth to be told. Now be honest, you’ve dipped chocolate chips into peanut butter and downed more than you’d like to admit!
Destined is available in mixed packs as well.
