Makes the World Go Away

Feast your eyes.

It's not the best picture, but trust me when I tell you that the cake was a phenomenal conglomeration of chocolate.

Rich chocolate cake (secret ingredient: mayonnaise).
Dense chocolate filling.
Buttery chocolate frosting.
Delicately shaved dark chocolate curls.

Can you tell I'm in love?

When I say, "Give me chocolate," I don't mean a crappy, low-quality candy bar loaded with artificial flavorings and enough preservatives to make it through the next millennium.

I don't mean a cupful of weak, trans-fat laden "hot chocolate" made with hot water and the contents of a foil-lined envelope.

I don't even mean M-and-M's or a handful of Hershey Kisses, both of which are made of an inferior substance masquerading as chocolate.

No. I mean Real Chocolate. Sixty-five percent cacao -- or more. The stuff that's loaded with antioxidants and real chocolate flavor.

I also mean Wonderful Organic Chocolate Truffles from my favorite chocolate shoppe. Luscious ganache centers with sublime flavors like Jack Daniels or a hint of orange.

In the winter, I might mean a decadent mugful of Drinking Chocolate from the best French sandwich shop in town.

I want to be sure that you know what I mean when I say CHOCOLATE.

Okay. So when I say that I'm desperately in need of some chocolate, you'll know exactly what to send.

Thank you for sharing my Chocolate Fantasy. Sometimes, nothing else will do.

Absolutely nothing.

Mmmmmmmm does that look heavenly!!
I love quality chocolate so I can completely relate to your need to have REAL chocolate! If that doesn't satisfy a craving, nothing will!!! At least not in the food area....wink.

Yeah - real chocolate is great. Now I know why I don't like 'American' chocolate. Sorry, no offense, but there is nothing better than a shipment from my mom with the real stuff :).
