    The way I understand the basic halachah is that if someone has a food which contains multiple berachos, he makes a berachah on the ikar. However, wheat cannot be tafel so if there is a wheat element to the food, one must make a berachah on that. I think, and correct me if I’m wrong, that this doesn’t mean that the wheat becomes the ikar and everything else becomes tafel, but rather this food has multiple ikkarim. So if the food can be separated, like an ice cream cookie where the ice cream is the ikkar, one should make a mezonos on the cookie and a shehakol on the ice cream. But what if it can’t be separated like a chocolate bar with a cookie center and the chocolate is the ikkar? How do you make both berachos? Do you just make both berchos and then eat it? If so, wouldn’t the second berachah be mafsik between the first berachah and the actual eating?

    the coffee room is not the place to pose actual questions of halacha.

    You dont necessarily make two brachos, and it could depend on what you are eating. It can also depend on if you want the mezonos or not. When you would make two brachos you make them one at a time and eat in between. You do not make two brachos one after the other.

    In some cases you would just make a mezonos and no other brocha. Ask your LOR.

    I figured that this is more of the type of a question for a Rav. I just figured that this question is so common, that someone on here must know the proper halachah. I mean, do all of you just avoid eating these types of foods? I generally just make a mezonos, but I don’t know if that is proper.

    I also just make a Mezonos. I think Rav Bodner writes that if you’ll get both Brachos in one bite that it’s considered a Ta’aroves and therefore the Mezonos will win out and the rest will be Tafel.
