I can't help it. Sometimes I just need dark chocolate. NOW.
I'm a major health-food nut
(yup - we drink green smoothies, flake our own oats for oatmeal, eat organic ...)
but every once in a great while it just hits.
So tonight after asking only half a dozen times, my husband and son zipped to the store and came home with chocolate ice cream and the fixin's for s'mores. Only I didn't make a s'more.
I scooped a bunch of sugar-free ice cream into my bowl, then used the entire candy bar as an edible spoon to devour the treat. But I figure with the ice cream being sugar free, it evened out and is like I didn't eat any treats at all. Right?
Exercise is a dirty word... Every time I hear it, I wash my mouth out with chocolate.
don't know who said it, but I like it
I love that quote! The chocolate 'spoon' sounds delightful, I must try that out, all in the name of research of course! :)

ReplyDeleteI love chocolate! I always carry a little case of it wherever I go. Dark chocolate is my favorite. Especially with nuts. Oh dear!
ReplyDeleteI went through several months where I gave up sugar and felt really good. Unfortunately, it has crept back into my life. I love ice cream in the summer. I can remember though when I was really craving sugar, I would get some dark chocolate. How do you stay so disciplined??

Oh that's so funny! Chocolate is good for you - in moderation of course. Especially dark chocolate! It has lots of antioxidants.
ReplyDeleteHa! Of course! I love your rationalization! That's awesome! XO!
ReplyDeleteEveryone deserves some chocolate every now and then. At least dark chocolate has some health benefits!
ReplyDeleteI love washing my mouth out with chocolate, too! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and letting me know that you think it was "hilarious"! That means so much! How's your milky nose?
ReplyDeleteHahahahahah I am going to have to re-quote that quote, it is perfection! - I am also a big health freak but I encourage myself in that Dark Chocolate (personal fave) it is filled with antioxidants.

What a great idea on HOW to eat chocolate...no need to wash any utensils!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words on my blog.
Enjoy your day!

There is nothing like chocolate and using it as a spoon - fantastic idea! I'm on day 4 of no candy - treats - snacks - bread. It's not so bad - especially since my reward will be a trip to Paciugo this weekend for some sea salt gelato alongside some fantastic flavor of chocolate! Paciugo - my latest addiction!
ReplyDeleteLove your sweet quote!!!
ReplyDeleteyES...I too love chocolate..dark!
Now I must try your spoon idea! Sounds amazing. xoxoxo
I am a total chocolate addict..yummm!!:)SarahD
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea to use the bar as a spoon....Very clever...Yuppie!!! I am going to try this:)
ReplyDeleteI cant wait:)
Kisses sweetie
Chocolate is THE best temptation(; I mean, even YOU can't resist!! Love you Aunt Denalee!!

ReplyDeleteChocolate is not something I ever feel guilty about eating. I require it as I require water.
Chic on the Cheap
Whoever said that is a genius. Love chocolate anytime

sugar free ice cream?? come on girl, get with the program! don't waste your life away on the yucky stuff!! haha
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so with you on that! I'm addicted to dark chocolate and need to have at least half a bar every day. Favourite is Lindt, but Green and Black's good, too. Never tasted Hersheys though (I don't think it's available in Europe). Wishing you a wonderful weekend! xo
ReplyDeletelol, it TOTALLY evens out!! ;)
ReplyDeleteCan't live without chocolate!!
You have such a sweet blog! I was really touched when I read your profile. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd omg. Yes. There is always room in every diet for chocolate! Lol. And smores! I think everyone deserves a special treat like that every now and then. ;) Plus, it makes you happier. I read somewhere chocolate increases endorphins (or something like that, lol).
I prefer milk chocolate but also like dark...I can't go too dark though. I could go 70% but not 92% like a lot of people...
hershey's dark is my FAVE. i think i did a post on this earlier this year too! love the idea of using it as a spoon...must do.
ReplyDeleteIt is so healthy for you! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteChocolate spoon! Love it - going to use it for my next party. I'll need to try it first of course, just to be sure.
ReplyDeleteyum!! that was sooooo YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteAnd it saved you from having to wash a spoon. Smart thinking!
