even if it’s chocolate cake mix?

Need a fix?

Get a fix.

My last chocolate bar was in 1975. It was a delicious Three Musketeers.

That’s generally how I deal with my chocolate cravings too Opal.

I have some Hersey dark chocolate bars waiting for me big ones

I keep a bag of chocolate chips on hand. Lasts longer and far less expensive than chocolate bars. So yummy mixed into a container of Greek style coconut yogurt.

I keep a bag of Snickers bite size in the freezer. They’re a vegetarian treat. I’m not a vegetarian .. I’m a member of PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals.)

Once as a kid I saw a chocolate bar on the pantry shelf and thought I’d cleverly sneak a piece. Turned out to be bitter Baker’s choclate! I can conjure up the taste to this day. Crime does not pay.

That’s how I deal with my beer cravings. Usually I find some in the refrigerator

Unsweetened Hershey’s Cocoa will cure the craving.

Sounds like a good plan, but only if it’s dark chocolate.

Pearl, go ahead and eat it. You have to show that dang chocolate who’s boss.

A very straightforward solution!

Love your comments, so happy I do not live near you as your chocolate be safe. I am so allergic to any chocolate including a hint or white. Hershey’s Gold for me. Evan white as has word chocolate, no. I have a rule here if you have chocolate any kind, we have a bi-level, out of sight is okay. My wonderful husband has slowed his chocolate. I miss chocolate but not worth the pain. I am not certain if the smell of chocolate will affect me.Usually, I post on Arcamax it is down.I am going to miss comics Friday I hope to catch up on Saturday. I have with OBGYN major surgery due to medical condition removing a part with a lab on the precancerous test.

I know that to a true chocoholic it’s not chocolate but I love white chocolate and now make my own DARK chocolate right from cocoa butter!!

Two words for ya Opal: WILL POWER !!!

When I was a kid, our regular babysitter wasn’t available on evening, but her brother was. As our parents were only a couple of doors away at a house party, they agreed he could substitute. Despite leaving a snack for him, Jimmy went looking through drawers and found a half chocolate bar and ate it…turns out it was Xlax….I suspect Jimmy never babysat again….LOL

Me too.

It is a good thing that these addictions are not part of law enforcement some Drug War. Don’t you wish all such drugs were not against the law? I do. 104 years of failure and deaths are enough.

I think we’ve all been victims of the Baker’s chocolate ruse. Darn thing looks just like a candy bar. To this day, I don’t know how something that is technically chocolate can taste so bad.
