chocolate-saturated disaster.

i discovered a few years ago that i no longer enjoyed candy. instead, my desire for sweets had crystalized into a single form of culinary delight: CHOCOLATE.

sometimes the cravings are so bad i will eat the crappy semi-sweet chocolate bits left over from my last baking expedition. a giant bar of chocolate will vanish into the abyss of my tummy within hours. once, in high school, dee offered me half her snickers bar when i complained of hunger. i returned half of it to her with the chocolate and whipped cream nibbled off, and all but the caramel and peanuts left.

thank God those dark days are over. for the next two weeks, at least.

my favorite favorite FAVORITE chocolate these days is CHOCOLOVE RASPBERRY IN DARK CHOCOLATE 55% COCOA CONTENT KTHXBYE.

it used to be lion bars. i think i still love lion bars, in the way you get over your first love but that aftertaste still lingers in your mouth and mind because it was your first and it was so sweet and sexy and delicious. but CHOCOLOVE RASPBERRY IN DARK CHOCOLATE 55% COCOA CONTENT is like so undeniably hot, it's all smooth and sensuous in your mouth and after it melts you have the sharp sassy zing of raspberries sizzling on the tip of your tongue. it's your sophomore experience, where you're not so innocent and young anymore you want something bold and daring, something that will satiate your initial craving and then leave you wanting MORE.

this is not healthy.
