“chili in chocolate...yummmm

“That damn Lindt chili chocolate is addictive.

I can't even go to Target anymore, that is the only place I have seen it.”

“I went out there Special in the middle of the freakin hurricane that came through here about noon. I thought I was going to drown getting from the car to the door, But It Was All Worth It.

(that's a scan of the actual package, LOL)

I should have bought 4 or 5 instead of just two.”

“They must put crack in it.”

“*shudder*

I can't believe you're eating that stuff.

;)”

“Damn you, tilt.

I had about a half a bar of Godiva, 85% Cacao, Santo Domingo chocolate here I had been rationing.

Now, it is about to be history and I STILL want the chili chocolate.”

“Did you ever see that movie....   "Consuming Passions" ---- just a strange little film about the chocolate business,   LOL

I won't say what the secret ingredient is.”

“I thought I passed around some SWest chili choc at camp a couple of years ago and people freeked-
now I love the Xocai chocolate..”

“My wife came up here to Nashville an bought me two bars of chili chocolate.

Bygod, I have rationed those suckers all week and I am now down to two small blocks.

Thank God she is coming back tomorrow.”

“Dammit, I thought about it too much....


Now I have no chili chocolate left.”

“Yummm”

“The first place winner for sweet seemed out of place. Other than the chocolate, tapioca pearls and soy milk it's a regular red curry dish.”

“I'm thinking about the chocolate milkshake with anchos.”

“The BEST chocolate in the World is a dark chocolate hershey bar that has been in your pack for three days in freezing conditions. Pulling it out after dinner around the fire with a cup of coffee...and just letting it melt in your mouth...THAT IS KILLER.”

But you'll have to have them all pulled out after the Savoy truffle

Damn, I wanna bake a cake now.”
