Chocolate Jackpot

This is one part of my Valentine's Day gift from my girlfriend. I was very excited to see it on our kitchen table earlier today. It's over a pound of Ghirardelli chocolates! Yum!

I really like her choice because I am in the mood for milk chocolate rather than dark chocolate these days. On occasion I will enjoy a little dark chocolate, but when I compare the two, I think milk chocolate wins for me, hands down. And I really love Girardelli chocolate, especially the ones that have caramel inside.

This assortment is seriously in danger of being gobbled up very quickly. I'm about to dip into it for a late night sweet indulgence. It's going to take some effort to not finish off the bag in a day.

There is no argument when it comes to milk chocolates being tasty but you should know that dark chocolates are preferred from the health point of view emoticon :tongue:

Yeah, I know that dark chocolate has health benefits. I don't dislike them, but I generally prefer milk chocolate.

Sorry, I'm a Cadbury head. And not the US Cadbury adulterated with sugar, either. Proper UK Dairy Milk. The clue's in the name, guys. Leave our recipe alone.

Ghiradelli chocolates are awesome - she sounds like a real "keeper", emoticon :smile:

He got her another packet of the same thing !

I remember a post (I think it was yours) about the boycott issue. I am fairly easy when it comes to chocolates, to be honest.

SoundNFury wrote on February 15, 2015, 5:20 PM

It becomes very difficult. You just want to keep eating more and more!

SoundNFury wrote on February 15, 2015, 5:21 PM

I think she did. We were both happy with our gifts :)

SoundNFury wrote on February 15, 2015, 5:22 PM

Haha no, but I did get her chocolate-dipped strawberries, among a few other things. She said they are really good!

SoundNFury wrote on February 15, 2015, 5:22 PM

Yeah, I don't mind sharing :)

SoundNFury wrote on February 15, 2015, 5:22 PM

They are very good.

SoundNFury wrote on February 15, 2015, 5:23 PM

It is definitely a mood-booster for when you need it!

SoundNFury wrote on February 15, 2015, 5:25 PM

She definitely is :) And yes, they are very awesome!

SoundNFury wrote on February 15, 2015, 5:25 PM

For me, it is the perfect assortment :)

Oooh that looks delicious! I don't blame you for wanting to gobble it right down lol.

I love that brand too. Lately I have been preferring dark chocolate, but I will never turn down milk chocolate. I've never liked white chocolate though.

I currently have my hand in a bag of nutorious nut creations that is in danger of disappearing.

SoundNFury wrote on February 16, 2015, 3:33 AM

I have been dipping into the bag throughout the day. They are great!

SoundNFury wrote on February 16, 2015, 3:34 AM

I like dark chocolate once in a while, but I do enjoy white chocolate very much too.

SoundNFury wrote on February 16, 2015, 3:34 AM

Haha yep, I have had my hand in this bag all day!

WordChazer wrote on February 16, 2015, 1:54 PM

No, not mine, but it could easily have been. I always find American chocolate to taste dusty, bearing in mind I was raised on Cadbury's.

Oh, wow that looks good. I love chocolates. Now I want to have some emoticon :smile: It was very nice of your girlfriend to give them to you.
