Sometimes you just need some chocolate....

[osodecanela]

Been a long day. A very long day.

I'm soon to head off to bed, but I really wanted some chocolate first. Some real chocolate. Sort of the chocolate equivalent of a decent single malt scotch.

I broke out some of the good stuff. Some Belgian milk seasoned with lavander, some dried fig bits enrobed in bittersweet, and some ultra dark. Oh,& a glass of milk. (I have to go with lactose free which is a touch sweeter, than ordinary and even the 1% feels rich.

So decadent. Not a huge amount, but so rich on the tongue.

I'm ready to fold for the night.

Yes, but Weaver ... that's only artificial love.

No duke, I do know the difference - I wanted chocolate.

And it was divine.

(With antioxidants.)

Sometimes, one must have chocolate, and nothing can stand in one's way. I especially like the dried fig and bittersweet combo.

The whole dried fruit dipped in dark chocolate works for me bigtime! As a kid I fell for raspberry gels in dark chocolate. My tastes have matured, but the concept remains. Candied citrus peel of any stripe in bittersweet, moist dried apricot in the same, chewy dried mango as well, all if it makes me salivate. It doesn't need to be much. A piece or two will do, but it is for me an enormous treat.

See's has glacéd Ginger in bittersweet which for me is too die for. Have you tried it? I cannot buy more than an ounce or two at a time as I like it a bit too much if you catch my drift. Similarly the organic dried apricots in bittersweet the local organic market carries (in bulk!).

Have not had the See's ginger glace, but will keep them in mind. Thanks!
