    I have to hide my chocolate because if it's around Dh eats it all. Then I have none when I have a late night craving when he's out of town. It's not like I can wake the kids to go to the store just to satisfy my chocolate craving. (Okay, I've considered doing that a time or two.) It's easier to eat a piece when the craving starts otherwise I'll gorge on the entire bar later.
    Everything in moderation, including moderation.

    if the chocolate is really good, what is the point of hiding it. If I know where it is, it will be gone. But if its a ho-hum chocolate, it will be around a long long time. Like 4 year old easter bunny. I think the chocolate went rancid so my partner got a bag, scoop it up and threw it all away.

    BTW, are you one to nibble away from the ear then the head or do you start from the foot and tail? Easter is not that far away...

    My grocery carries Endangered Species. I restrict myself by buying only when it's on sale, which they periodically do.

    I start with the ears. And I prefer hollow ones.

    I am a chocolate snob!
    I decided a long time ago if Iwas going to eat chocolate and the calories that come with it it had to be good chocolate. So I am always trying new kinds. I like dark and milk. I eat the dark more cause i know it is better for me.

    Here is california we have World Market and Trader Joe's. Both stores have quite a selection of chocolates to choose from.
    I won't eat a regular candy bar unless I am super hungery and there is nothing else.

    We don't hide our choclate in our house but we have a special shelf for it.

    For christmas gifts last year (that sounds wierd since it was only a few weeks ago) I made home made truffles with a dusting of chipotle powder. They were sooooooooo good. I made them a few years ago for gifts as well. then skipped a year. People were asking for them last year.
    I decorated chinese take out box's and put them in them. Really cute! And oh so good.
    Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

    I like to treat myself to chocolate covered espresso beans. Talk about getting a boost!

    I usually only have a stash of super dark chocolate in my desk at work, where I tend to need the "hard stuff."

    I probably should keep a stash at home, though, because there have been several regrettable times where I've had to dip into the chocolate chips . DH leaves the sweets alone (he's so weird!) so no need to hide them from him...I think he knows I need it more than he does!
