    Dark chocolate is my absolute favourite. Milk chocolate quality has gone down the drain.

    We received our monthly grocery order and what did those lovely store people do? They gave a little bonus thing (as they do this from time to time). What was the freebie gift? It was this:

    What could have been a better giftie for a chocoholic.

    Sounds like they know your tastes.

    Guess what my husband gave me for Christmas? An ice cream machine. We are not gadget people, but I am so pleased with this gift. Guess what type of ice cream I make? Chocolate of course.

    Oh miss, you are the lucky girl aren’t you.
    Choccy, of course. Of course, of course. Will that be with chocolate syrup and whipped cream as well?

    With. But we can drop the groceries and just get the bonus bar.

    But Bippers, the 90% and above is more for cooking than recreational consumption.;)
    At least that is how I do it. I make mole poblano, chilli con carne and so forth with the super darks.
