Above (clockwise): Chocolate Italian Soda, a cat I made in a pottery class one year, Carmel Apple Milky Way Mini, Pumpkin Spice Hershey's Kiss, Kirkland Signature Almond Cherry Cluster, (and a cute skeleton napkin).
A coworker of mine always seems to find interesting food items. This year, she found Carmel Apple Mini Milky Way candy bars, and Pumpkin Spice Hershey's Kisses.
I like the Carmel Apple Milky Ways best. They are just like regular Milky Way, but have a bit of a apple and nutmeg taste that is mixed into the carmel, that makes them extra tasty. Along with the Pumpkin Spice Hershey's Kisses (which is white chocolate, with a pumpkin spice flavor on the outer layer, and what seems to be a cream cheese flavor in the middle), it is like eating Halloween and Thanksgiving together!
Another treat I was introduced to this fall, was Almond Cherry Clusters! Dark chocolate, with dried cherries, and almonds. So addicting.... but dark chocolate is good for you, right? My dad bought them, but he is not as impressed by them as I am.
Along with the other candy items, I found some Ghost Peeps for a hot cocoa recipe I found on Pinterest. I have not tried the recipe, because where I live, it is not quite cold enough...yet.
To not be beverage deprived, I decided to try something different using some of my Sugar Free Torani Chocolate Syrup, some soda water, and some heavy whipping cream (since I don't have any half & half on hand) to make Chocolate Italian Sodas! I have to say, they have turned out pretty well. I have often made Raspberry Italian Sodas, but never chocolate ones before. Chocolate ones are delicious! May even be my favorite beverage, as of now.
If all that does not prove my addiction to chocolate, I just tried a new place that serves Double Chocolate Cake Dougnuts. It is called, "Top Pot Doughnuts." I was drawn in by the huge doughnut that is displayed on top of the building. It has nice patio seating, and is charming inside, with a bunch of old books for customers to read. A very nice hangout, indeed.
With all these new tempting treats, it looks like I better plan to excercise more regularly, and keep up with a good diet. Still, it is nice to indulge once in awhile.
