I was going to do a Valentine post on 13 people I love. But you don't know them...and duh - I love my husband, boys, mom & dad, other family, and all my friends. They know that. Instead my 13 is ways you can present chocolate to me any time of year and I will joyously leap of the dieting wagon.
***P.S. There will be two recipes tomorrow when I have more time...come back for them!***
- Cadbury Cream Eggs - those evil jerks at Cadbury make me wait all year for those delicious concoctions.
- Tobleron - I discovered this as a young girl at French camp...so good
- Dove Dark Chocolate Squares - oh....my.....
- Haagen-Dazs Chocolate Chocolate Chip Ice Cream - simply amazing
- Fudge - but it has to be *real* fudge...it's all about the texture (RECIPE TOMORROW!)
- M&M's - plain - a classic
- Hershey's Kisses - another classic
- Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - I'm not a big peanut butter fan, but this is such a perfect combination
- Chocolate Cheesecake - there are no words (RECIPE TOMORROW!)
- Swiss....something. I once stayed in a hotel in Boston that was owned and operated by Swiss Air. They left amazing little Swiss chocolates on my pillow each morning.
- A grande mocha with a double shot of espresso and extra chocolate! A perfect reason to wake up. My favorite is from a chain called Gloria Jean's.
- Lady Godiva - almost anything from them.
- Brownies. I'm not picky here. From a box, from scratch, whatever dude. Just do not befoul them with nuts of any kind....WRONG.

Yay for chocolate! One of the security guards here at work gave out little boxes of chocolates today. He's pretty awesome. Happy Valentine's Day and Happy TT!
"Well, I was going to list people I love, but I think I'll do chocolate instead..." LOL. I love it.
I am a complete slut for Cadbury Eggs, and while I share your pain that they are only offered once a year, isn't that, in a way, one of the things that makes them so amazing? I really think I could take them for granted, if given the chance, so it's sort of fun to get to celebrate them every year. :P
I lived just across the border from Belgium. Twenty minutes to a grocery store with a huge selection of the best damn chocolate...The United States is catching up, but really, it's the Dark Ages here compared to Europe with these three things: beer, bread, and chocolate. We are getting there -- we have great microbrews, imported and domestic chocolate that is so good, and Fry's (a grocery chain here) has a great in-store bakery...
We were in France on vacation and we had - every single day - a pain du chocolat...which is puff pastry wrapped around dark chocolate and served still warm and kinda melty. Sorry. Drooled a bit there...bread AND chocolate. When it's right, oh, man is it right...
Damn it...the whole reason (besides reading your blog, of course!) was to mention I have a little Valentine bling to pass along to you!
And you inspired me, so I did my own Thursday thirteen! It's up now! You can check it out when you get your bling!
You know I am SO with you on this..except mine are Dark Chocolatae Peanut M&M's...
OK..I went to Switzerland a few years ago.. OMFG..the Hot Chocolate!!!!!
Asking the kids to take three bites before they decide to never eat it again seems reasonable...except Tess once threw up simply because Zach put his fingers up his nose (one in each nostril). I hate cleaning up vomit.
mmmmm..........Brownies
2, 4, 8, 11, 12, 13- i totally agree!!! i miss gloria jeans. they don't have them where i am now.
french camp? fun! i sold toblerone to help pay for a trip to france when i was 15. it made me very popular. :)
Oh yeah, Cadbury Cream eggs and diets...UGHHH!!!!!
~Harris.
My fave is Neuhaus chocolates. Probably the best thing I tried in Belgian.
ah, a woman after my own heart. Loved the list, off to eat a Cadbury egg........
Kelli
I so completely agree with you on both #9 (the perfect PMS food) and #13 (no nuts, not now/not ever). Happy TT, and thanks for visiting my list.
Beautiful!! Great list! Happy Valentine's Day!!
Yummm. I love me some cadbury eggs too.
i LOVE cadbury cream eggs. Yum yum yum
God bless the Cadbury Cream Egg and all the wonderful souls who invented it.
I think I gained 5 lbs just reading this. :) Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I've got a serious chocolate craving now. I may have to break into the chocolate chips...
Oh. My. I'm just catching up. Almost wish I'd not read all the yumminess because now I'm craving all things chocolate, and I don't even love it. Unless presented with all those options...
