What's the difference in regular and Mormon versions?

Yeah, I grew up in Boulder County (Louisville/Lafayette), so of course there is minimal to no Mormon influence, no classmates, almost all Christian/Catholic if anything. Good to learn more about though.

Decaffeinated chocolate? I have no idea, heh.

<Edit> Upon further investigation, apparently it's the stuff they sell at the food storage places, just like this thread is talking about...

Thanks for the info.

My reference to "Mormon hot chocolate" was tongue in cheek. The mix they sell at the food storage centers tastes exactly the Stephens brand gourmet hot chocolate you can buy in the grocery store. Mormons do not have a doctrine/policy/dietary restrictions regarding the drinking of hot chocolate :D

Hmmm, interesting, my LDS neighbors are preppers, thanks for the tip ;)

Thanks for the info. Going to try to stop by one in the near future.

Yep. The joke goes that if you picked up Utah and shook it, it'd rain guns for three days.

Definitely going to have to check out the AUrora location. Thanks for sharing this information. :)

Good to see some other people getting in on the Resource the LDS church provides. I would volunteer in the cannery back home. To expound on what others have said about the facilities one of the main things they are used for is the church does a lot of helping hand up for its members ( think welfare but more of a we will help as long as you are working at improving your situation not looking for a long term crutch) and to provide help with natural disasters. It's an awesome resources and something I didn't realize was an abnormal thing until I moved out of Idaho. Its not something that is supposed to be a proselyting tool, just something to help out the community and members in those areas. The canneries really aren't ran for a source of profit.

As far as Mormons being preppers...not sure they would like the label but I guess it fits. As members we have been counseled for a long time to had food storage for an extended period of time so if there is an emergency, loss of job, ect that you can support yourself. Go's along with the current trend of being prepared.

Oh and if the hot chocolate they use down here is the same as stephens .......fantastic stuff. Love the mint
