The New! Chocolate Thread

[flyangler]

If you've been on the internet for more than a minute, you've read the 10, 20 or 25 reasons that chocolate is better than men, women or sex.

 

This looks like an excellent reason to have both (your preference plus chocolate):

But before kissing and chocolate, perhaps toothpaste with chocolate?

Hmmm I don't know it all seems so messy! The drool, the "you got chocolate in my filling! Well you got your filling in my chocolate!" I usually wash it down with a shot of scotch when the opportunity arises, though I am not really a chocolate fan so it does not arise that often. Thanks for the post, kind of wierdly interesting!!

Recipe for a winter campfire:

 

S'Mores Caliente

 

Cinnamon Graham Crackers

Chili Dark Chocolate

Marshmallows

 

Indoors: place graham crackers on foil on the rack of the toaster oven, topping them with marshmallows. Keep an eye on them while they toast to your preferred shade of brown. Add chocolate and another cracker.

 

Outdoors: put marshmallows on a stick, ignite in the flames, wave it around trying to put the flames out. Throw the mallow up against a tree narrowly missing your camping pals. Start over. Thread the mallow on a stick, bring to golden brown over the coals. Sandwich between chocolate and graham crackers to pull off the stick. Devour. Lick fingers. Repeat.

I missed the part where you were supposed to miss your pals.....well if at first you don't succeed....

Chocolate's good...I'm leaving in a week to go work on an organic farm in Costa Rica. Should be a fine time

We have fully savored the chocolate and kirsch bar and moved on to the one marked Plain Noir, a brand that looks like "Favarger". Very smooth and dark but not bitter or tart. A revelation!

 

 

Oh, and we gobbled up the truffles in the heart shaped box. Since we've had them before they were just as expected, though a bit too sweet.

 

Alrighty chocolate lovers, here's a 5 minute clip on making a Chocolate Lava Cake. Enjoy!

We are now into the Cognac Noir bar and WHOA! That's real cognac in there. Again, the chocolate is not quite dark enough for me but the booze bites enough for both!
