Abstract
The present invention includes a method of enhancing the flavor of a mint flavored chewing gum by the addition of a minor amount of cocoa powder, as well as the chewing gum so produced. The amount of cocoa powder is selected so as to cause the flavor enhancement and so as to not impart a detectable chocolate flavor to the chewing gum. The level of cocoa powder added is between about 0.08 and 0.5 percent by weight of the chewing gum.
