The Chocolate Thread

“I can hardly stand it. I will be in Die Schweiz in a few weeks. My day trip diet will be fruit, bread, cheese, wurst and chocolate. If not on my bike, a little wine. :D”

“Oh Gemini... I still have half a jar of Nutella...”

“dang that Nutella is some gooood stuff”

“Pathman is going to "Die Schweiz". I'll be in Germany by Christmas for sure. No more excuses. Have fun and eat some chocolate for me please!

DDX...you do huh? You're mad at me AGAIN for no reason, so eat it by yourself!

hehehe HOI, I told you it's good stuff. better start watching your weight now that you've found Nutella.

AAHMMMM I am not sure what the hell I am doing on this damn thread again!!! I am leaving!”

“I'm not mad at you. Where did you get that crazy idea? Le Meow!”

“still got the nutella?
damn..what are you doing on the computer on a friday evening?”

“I can't believe I've never tried Nutella. Italians seem to put it on bread which doesn't sound too enticing. I like strawberries dipped in chocolate, but I like the chocolate to harden on it and I don't know if Nutella would do that if refrigerated.”

“Like I said...don't blame me if you all gained like 10 lbs by the end of the month.

LH, Nutella does not harden like dipping chocolate. It really is good on fresh warm bread. They are not talking about the regular bread you buy here in the US. They are talking about REAL oven baked bread with hard crust. (not sure how u call it)

it is good on fruit thou too.”

“Gemini, all I can think of is Italian bread. There are other Italian type breads with other names like cibata bread and I can't think of any others right now. They may use that for making panini sandwiches.

Who was looking for that Toberlerone or whatever you call it? I saw it in REI today.”

“so, now I am really mad. I looked at 2 different stores for the dark chocolte m&ms...but did't find them. It's didn't make it down to hicktown Columbia yet I guess.

Damn, sometimes I hate that state more then other times.”

“Bet ya never thought of Chocolate as Survival Equiptment ....well, with a can of Coke and some chocolate, you can start a fire.

“Gemini - after that first bag we got, we haven't seen it since. They either have a supply snafu, or the Dark Side M & M's are being destroyed by the Force M & M's.”

“lipstick, they have Toblerone in most supermarket and drug stores, including the dark. I got my dark Toblerone at QFC.

Have you all tried the Swiss Miss No Sugar Added cocoa? It's so yummy. It doesn't even taste sugar free. I always keep some on hand for when the chocolate cravings hit. It usually takes care of the craving. And it's only something like 50 calories.”

“Swiss Miss No Sugar Added cocoa is great, and it's way lighter than the sugar type.”

“And it tastes so good! Don't ya think Stovie?”

“Yes ma'am!”

“awww...destroyed by darker forces?
NOOOOOOO!! What am I gonna do? I don't feel like chocolate today...I better get off this thread before it coverts me back into a chocolate freak.

Pixie, I always drink the sugar free swiss miss. Good stuff.”

“aww crap, now you've all gone and done it - I have to go find myself some chocolate.”

“GRRR - now you've really done it, I went to get myself come chocolate and the candy machine ate my dollar, so now i'm shore $1 and I don't have any chocolate”

“At the supermarket last night, I saw that Hershey is now making cocoa powder (you know in the baking isle) in "Special Dark." Woo Hoo!

Think of all the yummy cakes, frosting, etc~ That and dark chocolate hot cocoa or mochas. Mmmmmmmm!”

“I spelled aisle wrong. oops. I guess I am thinking of needing a vacation on a tropical isle. : )

BTW, why is aisle spelled that way? Oh. Looked it up something about being derived from old French. I guess I see it now. The English language is sorta bizarre. (Bizarre, another French word.) I need more coffee. : )”

“My kids ate the other half of the only bag of Dark Chocolate M & M's in the state!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH.

Had to console myself with regular M & M's last night. < tears >”

“I looked for them a the supermarket and didn't see them. I didn't check all the checkout aisles tho. Only the candy aisle.”

“so they finally had the dark chocolate m&ms' and of course I had to buy me some. On my way home I put the m&m's on the passenger seat...well...I had to stop the car and lock those suckers in the trunk!

I can not have m&m's in the car with me. It's dangerous...”

“I hope it's not a hot and sunny day up where you are Gemini! You'll have one dark chocolate blob in a bag if it is, M & M's or not.”

“If Gem is anything like my wife, it won't really matter.”

“I still haven't found them. Are you guys finding them at the supermarket or 7-11 type places. And at the checkout or in the candy aisle or even special Star Wars displays?”

“Supermarkets. Many of the bags are part of a Star Wars promo, with Vader on the bag.”

“Yeah, but where in your supermarket are you seeing it?”

“I've seen them in the candy aisle, and in special displays at the checkout.”

“yeah, it's hot outside. i better bring them in the house and hide them in the freezer where I forget about them”

“At my local Wal-Mart they were only in a special display - and then only 1 bin out of 8 were for the dark chocolate. Guess which bin was the only one that was sold out? They were not in the regular candy aisle at all.”

“Plenty of Dark Chocolate M&M's in my local Wally World last night. They were at the end of the candy aisle. Boxes and boxes of them. All part of the Star Wars movie promotion. Look for Darth Vader for the dark M&M's.
Picked up a package to see what all the excitment is about. They are good, but still, they are just M&M's.

“She likes a chocolate.


”

“Haven't checked WW yet, oh well.

I just had World Class Chocolate ice cream. YUMMY!”

“We keep checking Wally's, Tar-git, and others. I'm convinced they are intentionally keeping the supply low. No way they couldn't get the supply up to demand levels by now.”

“I invented a new breakfast. It's awesome ...

I like chocolate chip pancakes, but our cafeteria doesn't make them, so I tried something else. I had them make 3 pancakes, then I bought a Hershey's chocolate bar. Break it into the squares, and place them between the pancakes. Let them melt a cool for a little bit. Add syrup to taste.

Sooo good ... Much better than chocolate chip pancakes. Very likely the best breakfast ever.”

“add a few marshmallows and you got your self breakfast smores....”

“Dang Sarge that does sound good.”

“that sounds like dessert more than breakfast... yummy!”

“Ditto what treebait said. Mmmmm....”

“Today and tomorrow are my last days I can eat chocolate....:( Sunday I am starting my diet lol although I think I will have one goof day a week to eat what I want (but not to over do it)”

“Sounds like the Weight Watchers plan. You can save up points all week and then you can splurge on Saturday and get that big piece of chocolate cake, without guilt.”

“hey...did we sell Spirit Coyote on Nutella yet? I forgot...”

“naw, im not following any plan except good judgement- low on sweets and junk, high on fiber, fruits and veggies. I want to go low on the red meat also. all this with my gym time (4-5 days a week for 45-60 minutes each time) will hopefully trim me down!”

“Gem I've known nuttella since I was a little kid. I used to eat it when I lived in Germany and after I was back in the states here and there. Its really good melted over poundcake :D”

“Gem - I almost bought Nutella.

It's got trans-fats though dang it!”

“I bought a bottle of Godiva white chocolate liquer for my wife. She's lovin' it.”

“LOL Sarge...now you know why I always ALMOST buy it, but then read the label and ALWAYS change my mind.

tons of calories, and of course the transfat! LOL Can't do it...Europeans are always soooo slow with healthy foods...it will take them forever to make nutella healtier.

Yummy...chocolate liquer on icecream maybe? that would be so good
