It's Easter so lets talk....chocolate

Specifically milk chocolate. Twice a year my blood sugars get screwed up. Halloween and Easter. When you talk chocolate, for me at least, you're talking Cadburry.







I also found a British store and bought products from the parent company.



Different. Must be the difference in the milk. Not better or worse. Also excellent. So when I need chocolate purple is where it's at.

Oh. And Happy Easter everyone.

I always wondered why they sold chocolate eggs on Easter. Why not chocolate crosses or chocolate crown of thorns?

Reese's peanut butter eggs for me. And whatever you're having. Oh and Happy Easter to you also and everyone else.

I have never been a big fan of Chocolate but sometimes I get that itch. About twice a year such as yourself. I know this may be a little off topic but I brought some empty plastic eggs to my stoned neighbor for there kids egg hunt. I don’t think he realized what I did but I am sure the sober wife noticed it lol

Your blood sugar doesn't get messed up. Your blood sugar is supposed to go up when you eat way too much candy.

I like chocolate, sometimes I will occasionally eat a whole candybar. Usually I just eat about a third of it at a time. When I used to work, I could eat a whole candybar on problem. I used to keep them around just in case my blood sugar went too low and I got the shakes. If I eat a lot of sweets, I crash an hour to two hours later, Hypoglycemia all my life.

On the rare occasions that I indulge, I definitely am weak for the Lindt chocolate.
I bought my nearly full grown daughters two chocolate bunnies as a sort of joke for today though.

I figure since I had a spinach sandwich for brunch that I can nibble on an bunny ear!

Mmm. Send me some and I'll be the judge of that!

Cadbury mini eggs are called crack eggs in this house for a reason, but I also love Dove.

Cacoa farmers trying chocolate for the first time.

Anyone else notice Cadbury cream eggs are like half the size they used to be ?
Lindt chocolate is the bomb. 100 truffles for 30 bucks.
And there goes the diet....

I checked and there are chocolate easter crosses. Looked but didn't see a chocolate jesus on them.

Or chocolate mother mary either. Imagine, a chocolate mother mary to bite the head off.

Chocolate Easter Cross...

Cadbury used to be my favourite chocolate until The company was sold/taken over. Dunno if the secret recipe was not part of the take over deal or the new owners are using lower grade ingredients or what, but their chocolate is rubbish now, halfway to being like cheap easter egg or Christmas coins type chocolate.

Lindt is now my favourite, although it could be doing with being a little less sweet.

I don't care if it rains or freezes long as I have my 'chocolate' Jesus!

Nah, not the same is it?

Break a square of Ghirardelli's 90% of in a cup of coffee.
Give it a shot of honey and heavy dollop of cream.
Good stuff.
