Sugar plum fairies and chocolate candy canes
I have been intrigued for the last few days by some Hershey’s Mint Chocolate Candy Canes. I saw them the other day at the grocery store. Being a chocolate-loving person, I suspected they would disappoint. Not because they would necessarily be bad but that they would not be chocolate. I am thinking they would smell a great deal like some good chocolate but would not taste like chocolate. Perhaps not as bad but somewhere in the realm of chocolate soda pop, smells good but tastes really not like chocolate.
I am pretty sure I will buy some before the holiday season is over. The good thing is the pack of 12 will probably last until spring as I will resort to eating them only when I have a severe sweet tooth and there is nothing else to satisfy the craving.
Kind of like I buy eggnog every year except that I really like eggnog. But it’s so rich I can only drink a cup of it and I assure it will not last until spring. I’ll still buy some. Though this year I am going to have a backup drink. I was at a party a couple weeks ago and had some hot apple cider with cinnamon sticks. That was good. Maybe a little too good. And I didn’t even put any booze in it. And clearly much less filling.
And for those of you who love chocolate or know someone who does, Linda introduced me to BT McElrath a few years ago. Just amazing.

Oh yeah, BT makes great chocolate. I think he has specials at certain times during art-a-whirl at his chocolate factory on East Hennepin. I have yet to get to that building at the right times though. Maybe next year.

Joe,
Remember the best chocolate on this earth?? Yes, I’m referring to the pounds and pounds of Milka candy bars we bought in Germany… yum, but of course that translated into pounds elsewhere! Take care Bud!
