I can't stockpile chocolate. I keep eating my stash.
My kids love white chocolate, I haven’t yet aquired a taste for it.
I’m still waiting to get to that point. When I think of the headaches, I can usually resist the urge...but not always.
Thanks for the advice!
“————and limit yourself to one or two small pieces a day,” Brill said. “
I have never eaten just 2 small squares of chocolate in my entire,very long life.
And I never will.
That is a joke, right?
Does it have to be a red cup? I don’t have any of those. Also, I work from home. Will that make a difference in taste? ;0)
Oh, and I'm all out of red cups. Will a different color work?
Why would anyone consider dropping cocoa bean production? Is growing corn for ethanol or other fuel-production options more profitable? Is the climate for producing cocoa beans favorable for something much more profitable? Can we grow our own cocoa beans?
In other words, “Aaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhhh?!!!!!!!”
Have you ever had those Lindt truffles? Heavenly!
Yes, there are the 5 C’s: caffeine, carbonation, cholesterol, chocolate, and C12H22O11 (sugar—one form of it.)
The white chocolate Lindt truffles are the best(yes, I am aware there’s no such thing as “white chocolate”).
Why a red cup? Is there something the color does to effect the taste?
As everyone knows the six food groups are: Salt, Caffeine, Fat, Nicotine, Alcohol and Chocolate.
Chocolate (cocoa solids, that is) is a wonderful, healthy food in moderation. It’s the fat and sugar that’ll kill you.
I personally love using chocolate in low-carb recipes — the fat isn’t an issue, and sugar can be replaced with zero-carb sweeteners, as long as you’re dealing with something that absolutely requires sugar for texture reasons.
If you EVER get a chance try the Sprüngli truffe de jour. Only place I've ever seen 'em is at the Zurich airport. They do not travel well and aren't exported.
Love your FIVE, LOL! :)
Thanks for the ping.

This site says that you *can* order Sprungli products online and that they will ship to the US! Those mini-macaroons look yummy, too! (If mini-macaroon mention is hijacking the thread, I apologize. Some things make me think about other things.)
