Chocolate
Blackbird's Show and Tell this week is our favorite chocolate for Kim.
Please go visit Kim and give her lots of love. She has had an absolute beotch of a week.
And now chocolate, whch doesn't right every wrong, but makes dealing with shit a little easier.
My favorite chocolate bar is not expensive. It is not gourmet. It is not even grown-up candy. It is a simple Mounds bar.
Almond Joy's got nuts
Mound's don't
Because
Sometimes you feel like a nut
Sometimes you don't
I do NOT like the almond joy. Just the Mounds. Thank you.
Now I have had excellent chocolate. The best Belgian and Dutch chocolates to be found. Sinfully delicious. Chocolate truffles, chocolate liquers, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, expensive sinful chocolate. If I were to become a chocolate snob most definitely it would be the decadent Dutch and Belgian chocolates I chose for myself from the chocolateer in Holland several years ago.
I love dark bitter sweet chocolates. Milk chocolate, meh, not so much really. I love Godiva, Lindts, Cadbury (eggs) and others as well but for comfort and just because I want it, Mounds please.
When I am craving chocolate and there is no candy bar in the house I slip off to the mudroom and open the freezer and search for a my secret stash of ...
... Tim Tams!
I am not a chocoholic, but when I want candy, I WANT it! I have to hide it, as mr. kenju is ravenous and uncontrollable where sweets are concerned. My favorites are Lindt truffles, preferable dark chocolate. YUM! My daughter brought some Lindt to me after she worked in Switzerland one summer, and I was hooked. I also love Mounds, AND Almond Joy.
Simple tastes are often the most satisfying...
do you do the 'tim tam slam?'
Mmmmm. I DO love Mounds! They are very delish!
Everyone in my life knows that I favor dark chocolate, so sometimes I must pretend that I am happy when they give me Hershey's Dark Chocolate...which sucks. It's simply dark brown wax. Those Tim-Tams...now that sounds delish!
Now I'm going to be singing that song all day! Because of course, "Sometimes you feel like a nut, Sometimes you don't!"
I'm so sorry...erase my stupid repostings. I was having some sort of Tim Tam urge. :)
I found them online, but they are like $3.50 each!
Mounds is right up there with my favourites... only here we have Bounty....same thing almost... chocolate covering coconut
I have never heard of Tim Tam's, they look really good. I love dark chocolate.
I LOOOOOVE dark chocolate! Mounds is my favorite too! Dark chocolate and coconut! MMMMM! The best!
Oooh, I love dark chocolate, but I've realized my body can't handle sugar at all, so I have to limit it to once a month or so. My weight skyrockets with sugar. Crazy.
There are always Walnettos...???...
Yummmm, those TimTams look yummy. When I visit Pea Soup (dreaming), I shall have to try some. I love Mounds too. Nuts? No thanks. :)
Super dark chocolate-I shiver in delight just THINKING about it, that cannot be good.
I have never heard of a Tim Tam but I am impressed you are able to keep a secret stash of anything! My bloodhound children alway sniff out my secret stashes.
i especially approve of the ad you found for mounds.
I think your Mounds are our Bountys - and they are sensational.
You and I are twins in this regard- dark bitter chocolate- YUMMMMM. And I LOVE cadbury eggs! I wrote a whole post about them!
I need to try these tim tam things. Sounds delicious.
I am FINALLY up too...
You know? With our exchange rate, it would be quite inexpensive for you to order some from a kindly friend here and have them ship them over to you. Although you don't know me from a bar of soap, I would be happy to do that for you if you'd like. I love the fact that I can just go buy Tim Tams. And Cadbury creme eggs. Yum.
Hey Mounds is the ultimate but I haven't seen it in months.
I'm in central Texas and I can't find it in any store.
The only thing that could be better than a Mounds (candy wise that is) would be a Mounds with Almonds.
And I'm sure you all know that would NOT be an Almond Joy being that it only has milk chocolate.
I've really gotten afraid that Mounds has been discontinued, please tell me it's not so.
