Meanwhile, those giant Hershey bars were 75 cents at the store yesterday....and there were boxes and boxes of them in all kinds.

I recently discovered THREE boxes of cocoa in my cupboard. I’m sitting pretty until the price comes back down, I barely ever use cocoa! Fudge is in my future, i can tell.

How would Laz know?
It was taken at a FReeper girl’s party, and Laz wasn’t there.
Us girls promised never to tell.

If there’s going to be a shortage of Reese’s miniature peanut butter cups and The Famous Pacific Dessert Company’s white chocolate almond gourmet hot cocoa, it’s going to force me to question everything I thought I knew about the meaning of life.

We went through this in the seventies.

“I always assumed all our chocolate originated somewhere in S. America...”
Yes chocolate originated in the Americas. It was a major royal drink of the Aztecs in Mexico. Mexico has a sauce called mole, which is made with chocolate. Presumably the antioxidants in chocolate might have a health protective effect.
