It's all about Chocolate !!!


Do you remember in my previous post from last week, I was sharing my love for hot chocolate?  I have been thinking chocolate lately.  I came across to this beautiful fabric featuring chocolate!  I just had to create an  ipad cover  with it!



In addition, I had the pleasure of creating my first treasury this morning. I thought I would share it with you all.  What are your thoughts about chocolate? 


I  just love how the pinks go with the browns!  We have some very talented crafters on Etsy!

My newest guilty pleasure, Hot Cocoa - 99.9% Caffeine Free!

OMG!  My daughters bought me this box of Hershey's GoodNight Kisses Hot Chocolate mix from the Hershey store in Chicago.  They know that I LOVE chocolate, but I refrain from having any chocolate in the evenings as any amount caffeine, even the smallest amount...affects me.  I'd be awake all night!
Not good.  :(



I was a little skeptical at first, thinking that this may be flavorless, or just too different.  Well, I was wrong, it was SOOOO good!  Rather than adding a little bit of milk, as I like things a little creamy,  I added some Coffee House's Caramel  Macchiato cream (found in the dairy section) , and these tiny miniature marshmallow bits from Heini's  (located in Berlin, Ohio).  OMG!  It was SOOOOOOO good!  I drank it down so fast, and wanted more....but no, I better not....I shall wait until tomorrow!    However, I soon will have a dilemma on my hands... What am I going to do when I run out of this Good Night Kisses Hot Chocolate?  I am hoping I can find it locally, as Chicago is 4.5 hours away!

Do you have any hot chocolate recipes to share?   Would love to hear of it if you do!  By the way, if you love chocolate, stayed tuned, as I will soon be creating some new covers for laptops, eReaders and iPads featuring....CHOCOLATE!
