Did I have a TREAT today!

[Archae]

In a town near my Mom's place, (Lakewood, WI) is an old-style candy shoppe.

Mom bought me 1/10 of a pound, of home-made dark chocolate fudge.

1. Good to hear. I received a free swim pass at the local lake ...

2. om nom nom nom nom

enjoy!

3. 1.6 ounces is barely a taste

I'm much more of a glutton, I really admire your restraint.

It sounds delicious though I love fudge.

[Archae]

4. It was more the financial end.

That fudge is $14 a kilo.

15. Now I really want to try it

sounds delicious.

5. Do you have a chocolate high?

I love chocolate and sometimes it gives me a buzz.

[Archae]

6. No, never got high from chocolate, but it still was very good.

I've had chocolate that was simply awful, (YooHoo chocolate milk,) and really good stuff. (I really love Cadbury caramel eggs.)

This dark chocolate was even better than Cadbury.

7. There's a restaurant in my town that has a flaming chocolate pot for dessert.

It's chocolate cake baked in a pot with chocolate sauce.

If I have it, I'm like on a buzz half the night. It feels great. It could be the caffeine.

9. They don't call it the "Food of the Gods" for nothing!

Theobroma - The generic name is derived from the Greek words ???? (theos), meaning "god," and ??ῶ?? (broma), meaning "food". It translates to "food of the gods."

[lovemydog]

10. I always learn something here.

Food of the Gods. Damn right.

[kentauros]

12. Ages ago, there was a company that sold scientific designs on t-shirts.

I had the one with the theobromine (chocolate) molecule on it. Seems like it was captioned "Addicted to theobromine"

[lovemydog]

13. 'Might as well face it

you're addicted to chocolate.'

[kentauros]

14. I am!

I just had some Lindt brand dark with orange in it

[Laffy Kat]

19. Hmmm. No high from chocolate?

Come visit me in Colorado. We can change that.

[IrishEyes]

8. Sounds good.

I had a coffee with whipped cream, chocolate chips, hot fudge and caramel. That was my treat for the week.

[lovemydog]

11. I am salivating.

That sounds great. I have Klondike bar in my freezer. Heath crunch flavored. Going. To. Get. Now!

[a kennedy]

16. It would take me a month to work off those calories......yikes....

but it sounds delish.

[IrishEyes]

18. It was delicious.

I eat pretty healthy most of the time but I had a tough day at work. I figured that I might as well get something great to treat myself. I will be working out a lot this week.

17. I just bought a triple chocolate gelato at the grocery today.

I am not going to eat until tonight after dinner. I know it is going to taste heavenly as I am a chocolate addict.
