I do that with frozen Andes Mints, except I pop them one at a time. I always end up cheating, because I’m in a hurry to get the next one in my mouth. You don’t want to watch me when I’m on one of those binges. It ain’t pretty. LOL

I hope the women are exempted.

I get the dark chocolate baking chips and stick’em in the freezer.

*Then*, when they’re good and frozen, I pop a mouthful and just stand there, reveling in the blissfully *slooooow* melting of the chips.

(Sound of grey_whiskers purring.)

Pennsylvania went for The Messiah, didn't it?

Chocolate should be a considered a vital nutrient for women.

Not only do we physically and psychologically benefit from the theobromine, we “crave” chocolate at certain times for a very real biological reason; the mineral called manganese that is present in it in quite respectable concentrations.

[and if you want to “go extreme”, try *these*; http://shop.ghirardelli.com/product-exec/product_id/338/nm/60_Cacao_Bittersweet_Baking_Chips]

They are _SO_ good.
