Confections of a Chocoholic


Chocolate



The lover of chocolate in me thinks it worthy to write about....Chocolate!!
A real treasure for the taste buds.  This is a happiness for my mind, body (OK, maybe not that) and spirit! No wait a minute, dark chocolate in moderation is OK, and also said to be healthy, an antioxidant. (*thinking* moderation?.. yeah right!)

I had just enjoyed a banana with some nutella on it, (one of my favorite snacks, day or night!).  And then it occurred to me that I really hadn't written about Chocolate.  I have written about Nutella, a new discovery for me recently.  I know, I know like where have I been since the stuff has been around for, forever!  Anyway you can have a look at my links on Nutella later if you like.  Oh yeah...Back to the Chocolate. (well actually I never really left the subject, since Nutella is chocolate too!)  Hey, if it has cocoa in it...it's chocolate!

Chocolate is that feel good food.  Mood altering in a good way!  I do adore me some chocolate!  That just doesn't sound as good, huh? (adore?..I've been trying not to use the word 'love' so much), but I do love chocolate, I do!  There, putting in back in, ('love') cause it just belongs, and is true!  

For as long as I can remember I have always loved Chocolate.  Dark chocolate is usually my first choice, but milk chocolate, hey, it's deliciously awesome too.  I don't turn it down for sure.  It has it's place in so many good things to eat.  Honestly though, if it's chocolate?...I want it!  (I think I am salivating as I write this, uh, more like drooling.)   I will be adding new or not so new tasty chocolate recipes and treats here to share with others who love chocolate too.  I am always on the look out for new recipes with chocolate or tasty treats of chocolate so, a 'Chocolate' feature sounds ...magnifantabulicious!


I recently discovered a new goodie, it's like nutella.   

(Shhhh, don't tell Nutella but I have been unfaithful!)  Check out the new Jif.  Jif Hazelnut Spread, a cocoa and hazelnut goodness!  (Their peanut butter has always been my favorite of all other brands.)  Wow, my eyes about popped out when I saw it!  I tried the Mocha Cappuccino. It's nice and chocolatey with a hint of coffee/mocha flavor as well.  I like it!  Yum, another treat to put on bananas, or bagels for breakfast, and...oh the possibilities.  Way to go Jif!






This choosy Mom always chose Jif!...
(you know I just had to say that!)
