That had to be the highlight of yesterday. A store full of chocolate… doesn’t get much better than that and we found it quite by accident. We were wandering down Michigan Avenue here in Chicago and suddenly it was there – on one of the side streets.
It’s a great shop, painted in candy colors and blasting with music from bygone days. Our favorite song had to be about peanut butter being spread on toast… maybe you had to be there lol, but it was great. And then there is the fact that they were handing out free chocolate.
Seeing that …read more

Pirate Treasure Chest Full of Gold (Chocolate Coins)!
Any little guys in your house that are into pirates at the moment?? They would love this… especially knowing that the coins are made of chocolate!!
Okay, I wouldn’t mind some chocolate right about now either.

Okay, you know that I love anything that has chocolate in it… even if I can’t eat it. And this moisturizer is no exception. It has the texture that you can’t help but love, AND it has a hint of berries, which I’m hoping is raspberries. The company even packages it all into a heavy glass jar which will look gorgeous sitting in the bathroom.
Bath & Body Works Tutti Dolci Fantasia Di Cioccolata Body Souffle

Okay, I just couldn’t resist even if I have a feeling that this stuff is for kids… But, hey, it’s still chocolate!!

Somebunny Special Easter Gift Basket – Gift Tower of Chocolate & Candy TreatsNow this is my idea of an Easter Basket. Each section holding a different kind of chocolate!

If you have spent any time at the slopes, you know just how decadent, slipping into a hot shower or bubble bath can be. And if chocolate is involved… even better. That’s the reason I picked this little pack from Philosophy. I remember one particular Christmas that we spent in Whistler, Bc skiing, snowboarding and wandering around the village. Oh how I wish I had of had this little gift pack of goodies. That would have been like icing on the cake of a great holiday!
Set includes a 4 oz Double Rich Hot Cocoa ultra rich, award-winning 3-in-1 shampoo, shower …read more

Don’t ask me why I’m thinking about popsicles as we are moving into colder weather, but suddenly I have started thinking about the chocolate variety. I always thought that they had been around from the very beginning, but apparently that’s not the case. The fruit flavors were the first to come onto the market and if I had to choose between them, I would have to say that orange was my favorite… next to chocolate!
Still one of the few things that are still a bargain today!

We know that it is good for us, but this has just kicked it up a notch. It’s low in sugar and the company has added a ton of seeds to the recipe.
Our Seed Clusters combine our signature dark chocolate with toasted mixed seeds: poppy, sesame, sunflower and pumpkin. So delicious, you won’t believe it’s good for you.
Okay, lunch is still an hour away and I’m not sure that I’m going to make it. And I’m not sure if there is anything chocolate in the house either!! Just maybe I’m going to have to sneak out of the house …read more
