Just another thread about chocolate

[Lise]

Nine words for you:
Hersheys Extra Dark Chocolate with Cranberries, Blueberries, and Almonds.

oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.................

[bikerz]

That sounds almost "good for you" - with the antioxidants and what-not...

(I do have a weakness for for Peet's chocolate covered blueberries - mmm - and I'm not really much of a sweet-eater)

[roughingit]

Mmmm...I had those when they first got to my old town, very nummy!

[Lise]

I mean! Hersheys! How could it be so good? Yet it is! Anti-oxidants! Two servings of fruit! Almonds are high fiber! The perfect food! And if you caught my whine, I mean thread, about wanting salt, not sweet, you know that I generally prefer Fritos to Hersheys. But oh, my goodness. This is fab-u-lous.

[maillotpois]

For once, a chocolate that doesn't appeal. I do not like to mix fruit with chocolate.

[bcipam]

Not even chocolate covered raisins??? Or how about strawberries dipped in chocolate? Heaven!

Lise, when you pass thru SLC, I'll need to take you to my place of employment. I hand dip chocolates for a living.

(The business doesn't have a website as we can hardly keep up with local demand, but here is a little info on the operation; scroll down to "Hatch Family Chocolates", or read this article, which recently appeared in the local paper. Shameful plug, I know!)

And you will be bringing samples to LRRH?

Hmmm...I may need to make an unexpected trip to SLC soon!

Strawberried dipped in chocolate port wine syrup is the best thing this side of Heaven to me. Hmmmmmmmm

Oh My Goodness! I need a new career! Then again, my current career is what's bringing me to SLC, where I'll get to sample the fruits of your labors!

For those not in the know, which would be anyone but me and Yellow...I'll be in SLC over Memorial Day, for the annual American College of Nurse-Midwives convention. Lots of CEUs, hopefully some exploring of SLC, and some handmade chocolate with Yellow! Whoo-hoo! Life is good!

[snapdragen]

Yellow is my new best friend.

I will try...they most likely will be available at Casa Yellow after the ride as fine chocolate must be kept at the proper temperature, you know. We make only small batches and there aren't many rejects (aka "samples"). I'll see what I can do!

It's worth a visit to the shop to get either a carmel crispy (layer or rice crispy treat, layer of caramel, layer of marshmallow, another layer of crispy treat, top half dipped in chocolate. Available with nuts as well) or the twice dipped pretzels: stick pretzels dipped in caramel and then in chocolate. The carmel at the shop, which we make there from scratch, is the best I've ever tasted.

Oh, and also available: both dried and fresh blueberry clusters, dried cranberry clusters, fresh dipped strawberries, and fresh raspberry clusters. It's a pretty decadent place. Good thing I don't like chocolate all that much!
