    Talking Do you hide your chocolate?

    I have a cabinet that I keep chocolate goodies (Hershey's extra, extra dark choco sticks) tucked away for those special occasions. I was talking to a friend and she also has a special place for her tucked-away chocolate. Except she forgot where she put it, lol.

    Do you hide your goodies?

    My husband used to hide it for me. Usually someplace I can't reach without pulling out a stepstool.

    I have to hide my Clif Bars from DH. Whenever I need to pack one for a long ride they're all gone

    If chocolate comes to my house, it gets hidden all right. In my mouth... my hips... my thighs...

    I hide it in the store. Read don't buy it. Well. Most of the time.

    hi alpinerabbit,

    You might find this interesting. There is an American chocolate company name Neuchatel. They did get a license from town of Neuchatel Switzerland to use the name and they are required to use only Swiss ingredients. http://www.neuchatelchocolates.com/

    Not bad chocolate. Lindt is pretty good too.

    dark chocolate

    I always keep a good quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or better). I can only really eat a small square at a time of that stuff and it helps with the chocoholic in me. No hiding.

    I have to locate this in the US. Lindt is my favorite chocolate but I've never had their Chili version. I LOVE chili chocolate (and can leave it out because DH won't touch the stuff)...so I MUST try this! YUM!

    I love the Lindt 85% chocolate. Its the only one that doesn't raise my blood sugar, and satisfies my chocolate cravings.......... No need to hide it from anyone!

    Oooh, speaking of evil chocolate here's a devil of a brownie recipe:

    INGREDIENTS:
    1 brownie mix
    3 eggs
    3 lg. Symphony candy bars (movie theater size)
    PREPARATION:
    Mix brownies per package directions. Use 3 eggs rather than the 2 the mix calls for. Pour 1/2 batter into a greased 9x13” baking pan. Lay candy bars on top of the batter. Pour remaining batter over the candy bars. Bake according to directions for mix. Cool and enjoy!

    Note: Keep Pepcid handy.

    I bet a Southern Season in Chapel Hill has it - I'll try to remember to check next time I'm in there (we just got back from a run....) I know they have other chili dark choc.

    We have a special part of a cabinet for the good stuff
