The Chocolate Thread

[Periantari Andruil]

you know what i love? i love Symphony...it's soooo good!!! it has almond bits and toffee chips :drool:
i like anything with nuts or almonds...enhances the flavor so well! :drool:

[Luvara]

never tasted Symphony either...:(

[Lasgalen]

I just tried MilkyWay Midnight today. Who ever said it was better than regular MilkyWay was right!

[YayBoromir!]

Yep, Arwen Undomiel, that is what Snack Bars are. You can get a larger version with I think 6 pieces in, but I don't see them around much. They'e kind of a shortbread taste - yum! :drool:
My brother eats "Rocky". I've never tried one though.
I've never tasted Symphony but I probably wouldn't like it as I don't like toffee.

[Elfdaughter]

I've never heard of Symphony. I love shortbread though.

Just finishing eating a Jaffa cake....I LOVE them!

[YayBoromir!]

Jaffa Cakes are OK... I find the different brands taste very different to each other. My grandparents have a whole stock of them, plus Custard Cremes... :drool: I love Custard Cremes.

Oh my gosh! Symphony bars! How could I forget? Hey Andruil: have you ever made "Symphony brownies"? :drool:

[Enelya]

[Celebrían]

Those are good, too. I really love the peanut ones.

[Enelya]

ive only had the caramel ones but ill definetely try the peanuts ones when i get a chance:thumbs:

[Luvara]

yeah, the caramels are good!

[Celebrían]

They are wonderful. I prefer them (the peanut ones) to the original ones. :thumbs:

[Luvara]

maybe I shall test them too, then! :thumbs:

[Lasgalen]

Riesens are very delicious. They make peanut ones? I have only ever tried caramel. Those are so good that the peanut ones would have to be good too

[Celebrían]

They are scrumptious! :thumbs:

[Arwen Undomiel]

ooooh, riesens are nice - if a little sickly! lol lol

[Mocha]

(BTW Luvara: I'm back! hehe) :wave: ;)

[Enelya]

[Little Devil]

I wish I could have some choco ice-cream, with choc flakes. yum ;)

[Luvara]

[Enelya]

oooooo that sounds good :drool: :drool:

[Arwen Undomiel]

boy, i haven't had a chocolate milkshake - or ANY, for that matter - in a good few years, now! :o

[Lasgalen]

I like vanilla icecream with chocolate sauce better than chocolate icecream

[Altáriel]

[Celebrían]

Indeed! :o Hey.....not a bad idea :naughty:

Had a delicious chocolate cake last night. It was sooooo good. Moist inside with choc chips melted on top....:drool:

[Luvara]

oooh! :naughty: maybe I shall bake something too... ;)

[Bramblerose Bunce]

oooh! Chocolate! Yum!

I haven't been here in a v. long time, so maybe you won't recognize the name.

I bought some chocolate seashells yesterday...had one piece. They were very popular here in other words! :)

[Luvara]

so you live in Sweden? hej isåfall! vart bor du? :grin:

yeah, I love them! :thumbs:

[Bramblerose Bunce]

:) yeah! They are good..I just wish I could have had more than one piece. Might have been just as well..first piece is always the best! :)

Jag bor i Växjö. Vart bor du?

[Luvara]

yeah!
Don't you love kexchoklad too? :thumbs:
Jag bor i Göteborg! Trevligt att se en annan svensk här! ;)

[Celebrían]

I'm assuming you are speaking Swedish? :blush: I wish I could speak it. Choc seashells sound wonderful! :thumbs:

[Bramblerose Bunce]

they are really good..and this time I really picked out some nice ones..so that's why it's so typical that I only got to taste one! :D

kexchoklad..yes..well, basically anything with chocolate is good. Especially here in Sweden..when I have gone to the States for instance it's not at all the same thing. So I am thinking of buying more of those chocolate seashells and bring them to my sister. She loves chocolate too!

Yup..that is Swedish we are talking and if you want to learn a few frases just ask! :)

Ja, roligt att hitta en svensk här. Har inte varit här på ett tag. Finns det många svenskar här på seiten?

[Celebrían]

I'd love to! Perhaps we could PM? :grin:

So Sweden has good choc?

[Luvara]

yeah, I love those seashells! oh, wait! :grin: *luv runs to the kitchen and comes back with some seashells* Mum bought them yesterday! :naughty:

and Cel, Bramble is right! Just ask if you wanna learn! ;)

Tja, det är inte jättemånga här men det finns väl åtminstone en eller två till svenskar(vad jag vet)! ;) Visst är det en jättebra sajt? :thumbs:

[Altáriel]

chocolate it is said to be a substitute of sex, didn't you know that??but if you can have both,better!!!:blush: :naughty:
I just finish some vanilla ice cream with little pieces of chocolate in it!! but Legolas wasn't with memecry guess i'm going to eat some more to substitute that!!!:chef: lol

[Enelya]

mmmm....ive had those seashells before(i dont know if they were made in Sweden or not, tho). but they are very good:drool:

[Ruby Yavevalar]

I wish i knew what seashells y'all were talking bout, then I could look for em, and taste em!!! lol :( soud v.yummy, tho!!! lol

[Enelya]

well the seashells i had were choco filled with i think the box said praline(sp?)dont know if those are the ones everybody else is talking about, i just figured they were cuz mine were Swedish choco too(even tho they were probably made in the USlol)

[Ruby Yavevalar]

:huh: I still don't know what they're talkin bout, but i do know that you did spell praline right!!! lol ;) you dun good!!! lol But they sound delisherus!!!! lol

[Little Devil]

I've had choco seashells before and they are yummy! Had a chocolate sundea today with marshmallows, and was nice. ;) :drool:

[Bramblerose Bunce]

mmm..chocolate! I should not have gone in here! I thought foolishly to myself..oh, your only reading about it..won't get hungry for it..and as soon as I get in here...oooooh!

Jo, det är en jättebra sajt! :)

[Lasgalen]

All this talk of chocolate. I could really go for a snickers bar right now. Or maybe some peanut M&M's

[Mocha]

Just came here to say that...CHOCOLATES KICK BUTT!!


:drool:

[Evenstar]

in English at school we have to design a choccie bar and we get to make it if we want and eat it afterwards! :)

[Bramblerose Bunce]

[Celebrían]

I wouldn't mind doing extra credit in a class like that! ;) lol

[Mocha]

neither would I

I'd try and make all kinds of chocolates.....Yummy :drool:

[Enelya]

make choco in school?! i wnna go to that school:(
well, yeserday i ate this giant choco fudge egg thing, and i forgot to take an advil, but guess what.................i didnt get a migrane!!!!:grin: so im hoping that this means choco wont give as many migranes(if any) now:)

[Arwen Undomiel]

i designed a chocolate bar wrapper in school and make chocolate-covered rice krispies cakes!!! :p :grin:

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

I remembered there was a project in my school and for one of the maths exhibits, the kind for puzzle and logic thinking... There are some counters involved, and the group chose chocolate bars to represent them, so they made fake choco bars and used them as counters.
And the thing is... this kid came by and she thought they were real! And she actually tried to stuff one into her mouth!!! :o You can't imagine how frantic my friend and I got when we saw that lol (we were managing the maths department)

[Enelya]

thats horrible!!! fake choco bars?! :(awwww poor kidlol

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

yup, the kid kept bawling after we got the fake choco out of her mouth. Her mum kept looking at us as if it was our fault verymad *brrrrr*

[Bramblerose Bunce]

roflmao aaah! too funny! sounds like something I would have done! hrmm...just coming into this thread makes me wonder if we have any chocolate at home. ;)

You said that she tried...hopefully someone stopped her?

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

yes, we stopped her all right lol

[Bramblerose Bunce]

The parents blamed you? hrmph! oh well..she probably got the real thing when they were going home! ;)

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

Not really... but the mum was giving us this *look*... if you get what I mean verymad and umm... for your info, we were the ones who gave her the real thing lol Good thing to always have chocco at hand. We needed to pacify her you see lol Her mum came about 10mins later after the 'freak accident' lol

trust those students to use 'Roche' as the choco wrapper lol

[Elfdaughter]

'Roche'?

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

ferrero roche lol

[Bramblerose Bunce]

:hooray* Well done! Yes..very good to have some extra chocolate around! :) Never know when you are going to need it! :)

[Elfdaughter]

Ahhh....now I understand! :blush: lol

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

yes certainly. Choco makes the world go round lollollol
I love dark chocolate!

[Elfdaughter]

Bleugh! Nah! Milk or white for me!

[Bramblerose Bunce]

chocolate :drool:

we don't have any home! :( looked through all the cupboards

Maybe it's a good thing :) There is an ice cream out here now with darkchocolate icecream covered with white chocolate..it looks good.

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

I have ice cream at home, but not choco. Don't quite like choco icecream lol I prefer choco on its own. And unfortunately, I haven't got any choco either :(

[Elfdaughter]

mmm....I'm going to buy some on the way home.

[Bramblerose Bunce]

I might take a walk later on if the weather gets better....oooh..the sun is starting to peep out from the clouds. Might be a sign! :)

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

lol if you take a walk, you can buy choco lol

[Mirkgirl]

*inspects the fridge* I have some caramel icecream with chocolate..... when would they learn I hate caramel

Chocolate icecream is way better than any chocolate... well except very dark choc

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

i hate caramel too! Blerch! *makes a face*
Mmm... very dark choco rocks... but the prices don't rock that much lol

[Elfdaughter]

MIRKGIRL? My word...is that ACTUALLY YOU? Where've you been? We missed you!


I LOVE caramel!

[Bramblerose Bunce]

the only ice cream we have home is vanilla. Too dark does not my cup of tea..but I suspect that that is a good thing for you. Don't have to share as much! ;)

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

How can you miss Mirky? I see her everywhere lol

[Bramblerose Bunce]

Yup Mirky everywhere! :)

oooh..just remembering trip to Germany when I visited Polly. We had some chocolate covered strawberrys. V. good! :)

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

ooh YES!!! Chocolate covered strawberries rocks totally!!! :drool::drool::drool:

[Mirkgirl]

Yep I know... but I shouldn't eat too much choc anyway so at least I can get the best :p

I've been around Elfdaughter... just busy... haunting Winster mainly hehe... good to be missed tho :grin:

Chocolate strawberries? yuick... I like chocolate... and I die for strawberries but the two just dont go together

[Bramblerose Bunce]

oooh..but it does! and it's v. good! Have you tried it?

[Mirkgirl]

yep.. and didnt like it the slightest

[Bramblerose Bunce]

oh! ok! Well more for me! ;)

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

ok lol
To each his own lol
This thread makes me hungry lol :p

[Bramblerose Bunce]

Me too! I just went into the kitchen too see if I could have a snack. There was a definite NO and I was thown out! hrmph pfbbt how rude! :)

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

lol It happens to me all the time lol

[Bramblerose Bunce]

lol! aawww! Poor Win!

well..off I go! I have to do homework! :read:

[Polly Sandybanks]

Awww.. poor Bramble. lol No snack? *can just imagine Brambles mum and dad telling Bramble to leave the kitchen and Bramble disappointedly walking away* Awww...

Chocolatecovered strawberries were alright. I love strawberries. But the choc that mine were covered in was a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try the dark choc next time.

Mirk and Catz has made me try darker and darker choc and I really like it now. :) Never used to eat it. It really fills you up though.

I can't stand anything that's too sweet anyway.

[Bramblerose Bunce]

lol I managed without the snack! :)

I suppose the dark chocolate is something that requires a certain taste. something you get use to. I'm not use to having dark chocolate, so that might be why I don't see it as my cup of tea. :)

[Celebrían]

Choc strawberries are good, but the chocolate kinda defeats the purpose of eating the strawberry in the first place, don't you think? ;) lol

[Enelya]

yah it does in a way, but i dont carelol as long as it has choco im happy:grin:

[Celebrían]

lol I know......just couldn't resist making that comment. ;)

[Mocha]

Oreo cookies have chocolate in em...:drool:

[Arwen Undomiel]

oooooh, oreo cookies and milk were made for each other! lol lol lol

[Mocha]

yes they are dear AU :grin:
:thumbs:

[Little Devil]

Am I just werid as I don't like oreo's, but milk's good! :grin:

[Enelya]

mmmmm i love oreos! :drool: :drool: my fav are the mint ones
LD, yer not wierd i know of several people who dont like oreos:grin:

[Mocha]

I love em, but I try to not eat em since they're so fattening

[Little Devil]

Today I spent £6 on the school tuck shop,cept it wasn't my money, I was buying it for my friends, and they took half the stuff, bout 6 Yorkie bars and loadsa chocolate! Imagine the calaries! :o lol

[Ruby Yavevalar]

ok, question---how much would an english pound be in american dollars? or vise versa? either way will work, I'm just curious. anywho.....I want some choco now, you guys made me hungry!!!! lol but, yes, LD, that is a lot if calories!!! :o and the tryclicerides?!?!! :o :o don't ask, I've got high tryglicerides, it's sumthin in the blood, that's all I can say!!! lol

[Celebrían]

Mint Oreo's mmmm. :drool: Now they have reverse oreos (the chocolate is on the inside). Haven't tried them yet.

[Enelya]

me niether, tho they do look yummy!!:drool:

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

Oreos are pretty nice, but I got really sick of them when we used to chomp on them during our breaktimes in school when everyone just wants to mug for exams in class and not budge from their seat to go to the canteen lol Oh well but then again, when you're mugging, nothing tastes great lol

I like Dove choco... miss 'em! :drool:

[Arwen Undomiel]

ooooh, haven't seen these new 'reverse' oreos - is that what they're actually called??? and i still haven't had the pleasure of trying some mint oreos! mecry mecry :(

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

mint oreos are good. They're better than the orginals :thumbs:

[Bramblerose Bunce]

My sister loves dove chocolate..the ones with messages in the wrappers. :)

[Polly Sandybanks]

Gosh! You've got to stop doing this! ;) You just keep mentioning new kinds of choc and make me want to try all of them! It's all Mirky and Catz's fault that I got into Lindt in the first place. It was the first Choc thread (at another forum) where they just kept talking about Lindt, and I had never heard of it before. Love Lindt now. :) That's luxury choc. ;)

Now I've got to try Dove too when I can find it. I've tried Oreo cookies. They're ok. Can't remember much what they tasted like now though. :) It was ages ago.

Right at the mo I'm really enjoying a nice big sallad. Being very healthy today. ;)

[Lasgalen]

I know what you mean, Polly. I want to try some of the chocolates mentioned, but they are not available here.

[Arwen Undomiel]

not available here, either! mecry mecry mecry

[Celebrían]

Oh, I love Lindt.....melts in your mouth....:drool:

[Lasgalen]

I can get Lindt, but some of the English choc I can't get. :(

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

I think Switzerland chocos rock. Tried a couple when my friends brought some back from their holiday trips.
And I can't get 'em :(

Oh Dove is great. Really 'chocolatey' and creamy :drool:

[Polly Sandybanks]

I can't get all of those types of choc either. But I'll remember to try them when I go to those countries sometime in the future. (well.. one can dream)

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

The good thing is, the chocs in the choco industry in my country are mostly imported, so I don't get to miss much stuff. The bad thing is, since they are imported, naturally you need big bucks to get them :(

[Enelya]

yah, all that imported choco is really good, but so expensive:(
dove is very good:drool: but ive never had Lindt

[Polly Sandybanks]

Go get some Lindt right now! ;) It's worth the money even though it's a bit expensive. It's dark choc, so it lasts long as well. And you're not supposed to eat it every day anyway.

[Mocha]

*drinks coco milk*

MmmmMMmmmMMm

[Frodo's Love]

Lindt...:drool:
Dove...:drool:

Think I should go on a diet. ;)

[Mocha]

lol tonight me and my mom are going to the market....I decided that I'm going on a diet....gonna shed about 10pounds :grin:

[Frodo's Love]

No more Preciousss Choco Cookiessss then, Mochster?! :( ;)

We could go on a diet together lol

[Mocha]

lol sure if you want to....I got my sceduale from my mom's mag of "Good House Keeping" a very tust worthy mag...and they have this article on how you can loose weight (appox 10 pounds in 1 month) so I'm going to try it....the food they have on the list sounds :drool: yummy!!!

lol might come back later, gotta write down the list of things I have to buy and go to the market with me mum ;)

[Lasgalen]

I have a craving for chocolate flavored coffee right now. Don't know where it came from, just that I want chocolate flavored coffee.

[Celebrían]

Ooooo, Las I got some Girahdelli choc covered coffee beans.....so fine! :drool: Yum, yum!

[Miruvor]

Hi guys. Haven't visited here before, but it sounds (tastes?) delightful. I am kind of a fanatic for those Andes chocolates with the layer of green mint in the middle. I like to let them melt slowly in my mouth. I hate when you get one at the end of your meal at a restaurant on on your pillow at a hotel. JUST ONE? That just makes me want to go out and buy a whole box.

Did anyone see 'Down With Love" yet at the movies? They even managed to get an erotic chocolate eating scene into it. Since its a parody of early 60's movies, that must have been a parody of the Thomas Crown Affair chess playing scene.
Down with Love is a pretty fun movie. At least for us old fogees.

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

No I haven't seen that. Sounds interesting though lol :grin: By the way, here's a pretty interesting website I found... virtual choco... lol http://www.virtualchocolate.com/
Anyone who feels the need to go on a diet but can't curb your choco obssession can perhaps satisfy your stomachs here... though seriously, I don't think choco really adds on to those pounds ;)

[Miruvor]

No, not the choco - just all the fat or butter and sugar that goes into it's making. :naughty:
Speaking of cocoa,
some wonderful variations on this theme are:

Chocolate mousse
Chocolate milk
Chocolate malts
Brownies
Mocha Frappucinos
Grasshopper pie
Chocolate pudding
Chocolate cheesecake
Chocolate covered Strawberries.
:chef:

Andes chocolates with the layer of green mint in the middle are good too. I had forgotten about those. Now I am hungry for choclate and mint.

[Mocha]

You can't too many Kisses :drool:

(Note: is talking about the Hershey Kisses, not the :smooch: )

[Polly Sandybanks]

Chocolate cheesecake!!!! Mmmm I think it's like a slice of heaven. :drool: lol

[Enelya]

mmmmm... love choco cheesecake:drool:Ooooo, Las I got some Girahdelli choc covered coffee beans.....so fine! Yum, yum! i love choco covered coffee beans so much!!!!:drool:

[Celebrían]

Well, they were coffee beans covered in cocoa powder, and I ground them to make coffee....they are't candy.....it's coffee......does that make sense? :grin: I've had choc covered blueberries before (Starbucks) yummy!

A virtual choc site? lol Oh man......that's too much! roflmao

[Lasgalen]

That virtual choc site is pretty neat. Did you see how many choc cookbooks they have? Didn't know there were that many recipes for chocolate.

[Enelya]

whoa, didnt see the choco site. but now that i have i really want some choco:grin:
Celeb, i know what youre talking about, see i thought you meant the ones covered in choco that you eat like popcorn:p oh well, i tried to get my mom to buy some of those the other day but she wouldnt :(

[Luvara]

a virtual choco site! cool! lol

[Little Devil]

I hate it in cook books and you see these amazingly yumy pictures of chocolate cakes, eclaires etc and when you try and make it, it comes out like a lump. It's not fair, :(

[Luvara]

lol yeah, I know! they look so yummie in the book, but... ;)

[Little Devil]

It's like that with all kinds of food, and when you make it, it's either really good or splat! Mine's splat most of the time lol So I just have a little chocolate to cheer me up. :grin:

[Luvara]

yeah, a Dime! :thumbs:

[Enelya]

i heard that for pictures of food they dont use foodlol for example, instead of icing, they use like this thick acryllic stuff because its glossier or somthin

[Celebrían]

I think you're right about that, Enelya. In that case, perhaps you should be glad that what you make goes "plop", LD. lol

I should have been more clear about the choc coffee, Enelya...sorry! :grin:

[Lasgalen]

I don't care what it looks like, as long as it tastes yummy.

[Celebrían]

The same goes for me. ;)

[Ruby Yavevalar]

lol yeah, that's true!!!! lol as long as it tastes good!!!! :thumbs: lol 2 (or 3) MORE POSTS!!!!! THEN I'LL BE AT 1000!!!! lol

[Arwen Undomiel]

oooh, i was feeling quite queasy and lethargic yesterday, but then i had a bag of peanut m&ms and within ten minutes, i began to feel more alert and energised!!! ahhhhhh, the powers of chocolate... lol lol :stomper:

[Lasgalen]

Does the power of chocolate include curing depression? I need a big fix of chocolate. I am missing my darling Win so much. Maybe I will eat and extra large size Snicker bar.

[Arwen Undomiel]

doesn't choccy induce the the body to release endorphins, which are 'happy' hormones?

[Lasgalen]

I hope so. I could sure use some happy hormones right about now. Maybe a brownie will help speed up the endorphine releasing process.

[Arwen Undomiel]

whatever you think will help, hon! :thumbs:

[Polly Sandybanks]

Choc always helps. :) Or well.. almost always.. and when choc doesn't help icecream will. ;)

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

I miss you too mecry and I'm afraid any amount of 'happy' hormones in chocs won't be enough to cheer me up mecry

oh but here's an article about how choco affects your mood. http://wildcat.arizona.edu/papers/93/59/06_1_m.html Pretty short article.

[Mánaskin]

chocolate! did anyone say chocolate?:whoohoo:

[Little Devil]

That article is kinda true, I guess chocolate makes you feel better if your depressed or tired, I could have definatley used some today. ;)

[Enelya]

i have to agree w/ article too, after eating choco you feel happyyyyyy veryhappy like last night when i was studying for my finals, i had some tootsies and felt better after it and was actually able to study better :huh:lol

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

yes yes! When I'm doing homework or feeling stressed up, I'd normally turn to choco, cuz choco does have somthing in 'em that makes you feel happy and excited lol

[Little Devil]

I guess it's what they call comfort food. lol ;)

[Polly Sandybanks]

Hmm.. there is some truth in that. A little piece of choc makes me feel a little bit happier sometimes when I'm depressed or tired or stressed out or whatever. But too much choc sort of takes that away. Hmm.. it can't be just any choc either.

Doesn't seem like I am a chocoholic at least. I thought I was. :)

[Ruby Yavevalar]

ha!! y'all are making me hungry for choco!!!! lol just coming into this thread does that to me!!!! lol I'm addicted!!! :p lol hehehe!!!!

[Enelya]

[Celebrían]

Chocolate and a musical.....does it get any better? ;) lol

[Polly Sandybanks]

I agree.. choc and musical.. really can't get any better! I want to go to London!!

[Enelya]

choco and a musical, that does sound pretty good. when i go to musicals they dont allow us to bring food so i usually have to smuggle in my food, which is usually rice crispie treats w/ choco chips:rolleyes:

yes---choco, and being in a musical!!! lol hehe, I was in Oliver! and they were talking about ways to get our nails to look dirty without using black nail polish, so sumone mentioned choco, and I was like "I'll bring it, but it'll be gone b4 we get to use it--I'll have eaten it!!!" lol but I just finished off the hot fudge, and we don't have any choco syrup anymore, seeing as I finished that off the other day!!! :( well, I'll just have to get mom to go shopping!!!! lol

[Polly Sandybanks]

I was shopping earlier today and thought I'd stay healthy, so I only bought apples and carrots. :) Then I sat here studying and was talking to a classmate on the Internet and said that I felt like some choc. And she said "Well.. you can go buy some, but do it quickly, because the shops close soon and tomorrow they are closed" (it's a holiday here tomorrow). I said "I could, but choc is not good for me." She said "Why????"
That was enough to get me to leave the flat for about 10 mins to walk down to the shop, get choc and choc icecream and come back. :) Ach!

*takes a spoon of icecream*

[Lasgalen]

I am having a drink called "Double Chocolate stout" Doesn't taste chocolaty, but is still good.

[Enelya]

i dont have any choco in my house and im gona go crazy!! both today and yesterday i have been swimming almost non-stop(end of schoolyear party)so im really tired, and i dont have any choco to make me look im still alive, so im sad:( lol i think i have some Chocolate Ovaltine but that stuff tastes wierd

[Lasgalen]

I'm sorry to hear you have no chocolate in your house. Ovaltine just is no substitute for a good chocolate bar. I have some M&M's. Too bad I can't PM them to you. That would be too cool if I could do something like that.:cool:

[Nyelli Lea]

:sidesteps into the doorway:
I like chocolate :grin:
I had chocolate Ben and Jerry's half-baked icecream
it was good... :grin:

[Lasgalen]

Mmmmmm Ben and Jerry's :drool: I like Chubby Hubby flavor.

[Ruby Yavevalar]

lol haha, have fun!!! lol but, yes, that's one of life's mysterys--the disappearing chocolates!!! lol lol

[Enelya]

disappearing chocolates? that sounds like my houselol my mom just bought some choco cookies from Schlotzsky"s and they magically disappeared. hmmm.....where did they all go?lol

[Polly Sandybanks]

haha.. that has happened in my house too. My brother thinks that it's the same person who always takes the last bit of ketchup. I wonder where that person lives!? I'd like to visit him and tell him not to steal our choc!

[Lasgalen]

Has anyone tried Pop'ables? They are like snickers or milkyway except they are little balls instead of a bar.

[Enelya]

umm....i think i know what youre talking about...if im thinking about the right thing then yes, they are very good :drool:
Saturday night on the travel channel there was this show on Hershey, Pennsylvania, i reeeeeeally want to move there, or visit. at the hotels they put these huge baskets of Hershey's choco in the rooms, daily!! then there is this choco spa which sounded cool!!:drool: the whole town sounds fun:whoohoo:

[Little Devil]

I had a real yummy ice cream onn Saturaday and today, todays was Chocolate Fudge supreme with loadsa choc sauce and fudge mmm.......:drool:

[Celebrían]

Enelya, I love Schlotzsky's! Yum.....I think I should take a trip to Hershey, PA, too. Chocolate in the room every day?! :elfeek: I'm packing my bags, now!!!!!

[Enelya]

yah i wanted to start packing my bags too, but mom said that we would arrive as average weighted people and leave weighning as much as a whalelol so, that means we could still go just leave fatter than beforelol ;)
Schlotzsky's is very good. i like their pizza best, then the choco cookies:thumbs:

[Celebrían]

Ever gotten the barbeque chicken pizza? Very yummy....

Tonight I had brownies with a layer of Symphony bar in the middle...:drool:

[Lasgalen]

Brownies with a layer of Symphony bar ? That sound way too delicous for words.

[Celebrían]

Oh it is...It is positively sinful! and really easy to make...all you do is get boxed brownie mix, and fix it according to the directions on the back of the box, then pour half of the batter into a 13" 9" pan, then get 3 of the large Symphony bars and place them on top of the batter, then pour the other half of the batter on top of the Symphomy bars. Make sure all of the chocolate bars are covered by the batter, then just pop it in the oven! That's it! Brownie mix and 3 Symphony bars.....;) :drool:

[Lasgalen]

That does sound easy. I bet even I could make that recipe.

[Enelya]

oh...my....that sounds soooooo good:drool: i really want some:whoohoo: *scampers off to kitchen see what ingredients are available* darn!! we dont have anything unhealthy in our pantry!:( oh well, maybe some other time

[Luvara]

yesterday we ate grilled bananas with chocolate in it! awww, they are just so lovely!!!!! ;) :p

[Enelya]

mmmm... that also sounds good!! :drool:

[Lasgalen]

How do you get the chocolate in the grilled bananas. Do you cut them in half and sandwich them back together? Sounds like something I need to try.

[Ruby Yavevalar]

wouldn't know. but.....I made Lembas the other day!!!!! :whoohoo: :hyper: yaaay!!!! lol big hit with my family. anywho....I tried them with cinnamon-sugar on them--that was good......hmmm.....maybe I'll try them with choco chips in them? :huh: dunno....might not taste too great....but...it's worth a try!!! lol
cover bananas in choco and then freeze em---:drool: yuuummmmmyyyy.....:drool: lol

[Enelya]

oooo...lembas. where did you get the recipe?
does anybody like choco pizza?(pizza bread covered w/ choco fudge and powdered sugar) i was thinkin about how good that sounded right now:grin:

[Ruby Yavevalar]

ooooooo, that does sound good right now!!!!!
There are several lemba recipes. but here's the recipe I use (http://http://fan.theonering.net/writing/recipes/files/jincey_lembas.html). I think theonering.net has a few other recipes, but I normally make these. :thumbs: yuummy!!!! :drool: lol

[Enelya]

i think it may just be my computer(its been acting really stupid lately), but the link wont work for me:(

[Ruby Yavevalar]

Well, go to www.theonering.net, click "Fan Section", then "Writings", then go to "LOTR Recipes", and find "Lembas From Lothlorein". :huh: that's the best I can tell you. :huh: sorry!!!
**neeeeeeeed chocooooooooo......** :drool: lol

[Enelya]

ah now i got it. it looks very good:thumbs: i think maybe im gonna go out and beat my computer w/ a jackhammer nowlol but first i need to go to the kitchen and make some smores:drool:

[Lasgalen]

Chocolate Lembas :drool: Now that would be my choice of waybread.

[Enelya]

oh yah!!!! maybe i should pay a visit to the Elves and tell them how to make their Lembas the correct waylol

[Lasgalen]

lol, Yeah, Enelya. Those darn Elves have been doing it wrong all this time lol

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

Choco lembas! lol Can implement that in Ru's Eatery. lol

My class did that before for food and funfair. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out too well... The whole thing was too sweet for words! Nevertheless, we forced the teachers to buy them anyway. lol What we did was sliced the banana into half, put a wedge of choco in between and put the whole thing into the microwave to be grilled. Then we sprinkle chocolate rice all over it. You could try it. But I'd never want to try my hand at it again. :o

Yay! Today, I finally got my hands (or rather mouth) on some choco. We don't keep a stockage at home. Mum says it's unhealthy :rolleyes: I was on my way home with a friend, carrying lots of stuff in our hands. Suddenly, we just had this impulsiveness to get a bar of choco each. We couldn't decide whether to get dove or snickers, so I bought a Dove choco bar and she bought snickers and we could share 'em. So there we were, holding on to all our stuff and trying to peel off the wrapper to eat the choco with just one hand. Quite a tedious task. lol In the end, I found out I preferred her snickers and she preferred my dove choco, so we ended up having to feed each other cuz it was quite impossible to exchange the choco without dropping our stuff, since we were sorta in the middle of no where. lol We must have looked like a couple of idiots lol

Just see the charm of choco and the weird things it does to us lol

[Enelya]

thats great Win!!!lol i like Snickers and Dove choco bars:drool:
well i just dicovered a way to eat choco and still be healthy, and eat it for breakfast.........................ENERGY BARS!!! they arent as good as the real thing, but still yummy. and since theyre good for you(well, healthier than actual choco), i can have one for breakfast. im so excited:whoohoo:

[Lasgalen]

I prefer snickers, too, Win. How special. :smooch:

[Little Devil]

Snickers are yummy! :drool: I don't like the choc bars called Lion to sweet, yuk

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

Lion? Cute brand lol

I just had half a hersheys sundae. It's yucky. Too sweet! I hate stuff that's mighty sweet pfbbt

[Luvara]

just as Win said, you slice the banana, put in some choco and put it on the grill!

[Lasgalen]

I never heard of a chocolate bar called Lion. What is it like? Does it have caramel?

[Celebrían]

I've never heard of that either....I have found that a healthy way to get in your chocolate is to eat the choco granola bars.....not as bad for your waistline (in my case, my hips! lol ) and you satisfy your taste for chocolate....I especially like Kudos bars....very yummy. ;)

[Enelya]

Granola Barsnotworthy Kudos.........
whats a Lion?

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

Oh yes! My friend's crazy over granola bars lol Healthy stuff they are!

Lion chocolate... the only one I've heard of is Lion's Chocolate Macadamia Coffee.

[Lasgalen]

Kudos are good. But after all that sugar added, I don't think they are too healthy anymore.

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

Not the Kudos... the other type... Cereal or something.

[Enelya]

Kudos are far from healthy....thats why i like them so much:naughty:

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

lol It's usually the unhealthy stuff that taste so good lol

[Polly Sandybanks]

Has anyone else tried Marabou chocolate? It's Swedish and delicious. There's no better choc than Marabou Mjölkchoklad (milkchocolate)!

[Celebrían]

I didn't mean that Kudos were healthy....just less fattening than say a Hershey or Snickers bar....but you're right...I wouldn't call a Kudos bar "health food". ;)

[Lasgalen]

That's why they taste so good. :)

[Luvara]

ah, of course! I just LOVE Marabou! ;)

[Lasgalen]

Chocolate cake is good. Especially when it is birthday cake :grin:

[Enelya]

ooooh i love choco birthday cake:drool: that stuff is the best!

[Lasgalen]

It's especially good when shared among friends. That somehow makes it taste better.

[Enelya]

and w/ cool whip type icing:drool:

[Celebrían]

I love choc cake....:drool:

[Luvara]

I ate choco cake on my b-day, and I think it's a small piece left! :naughty: :drool:

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

My brother and I love chocolate cakes. But my mum always insists on fruit cakes for us cuz 'chocolate is unhealthy'. Hey, it's our birthdays lol

I love sharing choco with my friends too. They buy the choco and I help 'em eat the choco lol

[Luvara]

lol Mum makes dime-cakes with strawberrys on the top, and that's lovely!! :drool:

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

Sounds droolsome!

Anyway, I was out today with 2 of my best friends and there was this caramel choco promotion and this promoter came over and told us if we could wolf down a bar (its pretty huge) within 100 secs, we could get another free bar and enter a lucky dip. But we just had lunch and the promoter was kind enough to let 3 of us share the choco. So we each took a bite and the choco was gone in 12 secs Record time was 10secs (by 1 person) I think. lol

Now why can't that happen to me? lol The only choc I have had lately is choc ice cream....

[Winyaél Greenleaf]

lol Ah ha! And I still have that bar in my refridgerator, and 1 deformed roche. (It was in my bag and I flattened it by leaning against it lollollol) But that's all :( My supplies are limited cuz I haven't gone to buy any choco these days :(

[Gwaihir]

There are big pieces of chocolate with caramel from Hawaii at home. One member of my family ate it and the tooth capping came off! lol (I'm not telling whose it is, because he/she might get mad)

[Arninquelote]

Mmmmm...choclate....:drool:

I scoffed a whole bag of chocolate raisins yesterday, and I refuse to feel guilty, dang it! :grin:

My favourite chocs are Thornton's viennese truffles, with the lovely buttercream centre. Anyone else like those?

[Frodo's Love]

:drool: I don't know those, Arni, but I drool already. lol

[Ruby Yavevalar]

neeeeeeeeed chocooooooo........:drool:
Same here, FL! :drool:
Gonna go get me somethin to eat, hopefully we have something choco in stock!!! lol

[Luvara]

We don't have any choco at home right now... :rolleyes: I want some! :drool:

[Celebrían]

The best thing I have in my house right now are choc granola bars...

[Polly Sandybanks]

Gah! Why did I visit this thread today?? I'm going to try to stay away from any types of sweets on weekdays, and it's Monday today! I was just drawn into this thread!! Arrrgh!!

[Gwaihir]

Haha, Polly! lol Now you just won't be able to stay away from these wonderful sweets! I haven't had chocolate in a while. I mean, I've had chocolate cookies and such, but not Chocolate, if you know what I mean. A good bar of Snickers should do for me. :drool: ;)
