flavored(味道)chocolates.the crfs produce is “green”， made within the country and divided into 10 lines, with the alcohol series being the most popular. the exotic serieswith sichuan pepper, red bean (豆), cheese and other flavorsalso does well and is fun to taste. and for chocolate_snobs，who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others, the connoisseur series uses cocoa beans from togo, cuba, venezuela, and ghana, among others.文章大意：本文介绍了chris lee想出了crf这一想法，生产销售100多种巧克力，满足各种口味的人们。9what is good about chocolate?ait serves as a suitable gift.bit works as an effective
