You don’t normally think “jerky” and “chocolate” belong in the same sentence, but here we are. Dark chocolate-covered wild game jerky is an interesting mix of flavors that just works. Smoky, sweet and even a little fancy—it’s like trail mix got a makeover. Warning: once you try it, you might not want to share.
