Chocolate


I love chocolate. I do. I make sure that I always have some nearby because I never know when I'll need a fix. Chocolate is a pick-me-up, it is my happy thought, and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, rather like I'd imagine that love would. I'm not addicted, but I highly doubt that I could give it up entirely if I needed to. I pray every so often that it won't make the list of the Word of Wisdom forbidden food because if it did, I would cry for years. I'm afraid the Lord might do it anyway just so I have to suffer it. It would probably be really funny for Him to watch.

But does anybody notice that our chocolate changes with the seasons? Autumn is coming, and so I crave caramel and chocolate, like a Carmello. In winter, it's chocolate and mint. Spring...well, that's when the fruit candy is real big, but those of us who are purists get the Spring colored M&Ms of our choice. And summer is all about the chocolate and nuts. Why do we associate those flavors with those times of the year?

What do you think? What is your favorite seasonal chocolate treat?

I definitely love the little mini reese's peanut butter cups in the fall and the cadburry easter eggs in the spring. I could pretty much go with chocolate digestives all year round too...
