I was well-intentioned when I went to the grocery store Friday evening. I bought carrots, celery, 100 calorie chocolate-raspberry yogurt. Summer is almost here and I am going to be 'good'. Yeah so much for that idea.
I love finding bargains, half priced anything! I found chocolate covered mini pretzels sprinkled with multi-colored non-pareils in a cellophane bag, tied with a cute ribbon. There was even a bonus inside of three mini carrots (white chocolate dyed orange). My dear husband heard me moaning with delight as I devoured them. He went out and bought me ten more small (individual-sized) bags. I do not care that I am eating two week old Easter "candy". They are the right blend of chocolate, salt and crunch. I am my own worst enemy. Three down, seven to go. I think I'll take a bag to work. They are addictive.

Every day is a holiday, when chocolate is involved!
All I can say is, "Yum." Oh, and I read, according to a recent study done in Germany, dark chocolate is good for your heart.
Yummmm. Anything with chocolate in it or on top of it can't be bad.
Oh oh,Linda. I would definitely have difficulty with chocolate if it were laying around the house. Well, ejoy! Sincerely, Susan
The problem with having all those yummy goodies in the house is that I feel compelled to hurry up and eat them so they don't lay around tempting me!
Yes, those were good. So much for eating healthy!
Tied with ribbon, even...that is one compelling combination, as if chocolate isn't compelling enough! You just reminded me that I had a KitKat that I bought from Boy Scouts. It was a good cause. And is it ever good!
