Question

There is a snack called 'Kif Kif' or 'Pesek Zman' that is covered with a significant layer of chocolate, and I eat it mainly because of the chocolate. Should I recite the blessing 'Mezonot' or 'Shehakol'?

Answer

Hello Rabbi,

Despite the fact that the majority is chocolate, the blessing is 'Mezonot'.

Since it contains one of the five species of grain, and they are added for flavor enhancement, the blessing is 'Mezonot'.
