Some combinations look positively scrumptious, while other pairings aren’t exactly my cup of tea.

Awhile back, I stumbled onto a site called Chocri. Simply put, they make customized chocolate bars from Belgian chocolate.
More elaborately, there should be a fanfare and shower of confetti when someone discovers Chocri or a similar company for the first time. (Yes, I am known for being a little dramatic.) I lost all track of time, totally in awe of my new discovery. Never heard of Chocri? First, on their website, choose the type of chocolate you prefer (dark, milk, white, or milk-and-white). Then comes the “hard” part: selecting up to five flavors (from an amazing selection of fruits, nuts, spices, candies, & other toppings) to customize your chocolate bar.
A frozen Snickers bar is pretty much a jawbreaker, but my dad likes his Snickers frozen. At least, he did many years ago, because one of the chocolate memories that stands out in my mind, back when my sister and I were pre-teens, involves Dad and frozen Snickers bars.
Dad went to the store by himself one weekend and – to our delight – came home with a whole box of Snickers bars. I’ve forgotten exactly how many bars the box contained. It looked like a lot to us, so it must have been 24 or 48 standard size bars. Mom happened to be out of the kitchen when the purchases were being unpacked, so the Snickers bars were smuggled into the freezer and painstakingly hidden behind Mom-approved items (thinking back, that likely would have been salmon steaks, vegetables, and veggie burgers).
Hello! Welcome to the Chocolate Website.
I’m relatively positive this is your first visit, seeing as how this site is making its debut today: January 1st 2016.
As to what you can expect to find:
Very recently, there was a milestone birthday at my house (I turned the big nottelling-0 earlier this month), during which I celebrated by….not having any chocolate.
That is correct. This chocolate lover did not have any chocolate whatsoever on her birthday. This was for two reasons.
The little bird was correct. My parents decided to deviate from conventional brands and flavors; one of their gifts was a stone-ground, hand-crafted, raw, vegan chocolate giftset by Rawmio, with intriguing flavors such as sprouted almonds and hemp!
This clip is so short that it almost doesn’t count as a video.
And perhaps I had a little too much fun with the features of one of my video-making programs!
However, it does give a brief glimpse about what the Chocolate Website offers:
If for some reason this video is not showing up properly for you, it can be viewed directly on Youtube.
Multiple sources, such as The Independent, are reporting that the newly proposed Cadbury chocolate flavors are…
Wait. Better take a moment. I suggest a few deep breaths. And making sure your stomach is already perfectly settled, because if it isn’t, I’m afraid it might get a little upset.
Ready? The proposed new flavors are:
Kale Creme
Beetroot Jelly
Wasabi Crunch

“A press release said the Kale Creme chocolate tapped into trends for savoury tastes, while the Beetroot Jelly responded to the popularity of superfoods and Wasabi Crunch reflected the popularity of Asian flavours.”
Allow me to set the stage for the time my photographer went on strike…
Location: Non air-conditioned house
Season: August
Props: Two flexible lamps with their necks craned, Pixar-style, so they’re cheerfully peering inside the lightbox. Additionally, there is a halogen lamp off to the side, emitting enough heat to rival an oven.
Operation Code Name: Kill Spot (As in: Turn the lights off when they’re not needed so we don’t die of heat exhaustion. Not as in: Do away with Fido.)
I was reading an article regarding the chocolate chip cookie hair trend in Seventeen Magazine. (Disclaimer: I’m quite a bit older than seventeen. Yet I love Reminisce Magazine and I’m more than quite a bit younger than seventy.) (Why is it that, in the end, I’ll likely receive more comments on how you don’t have to be a certain age to love things, than I will about hair tinted in chocolate-and-cookie-shades?!)
But I digress….
Anyone from the U.S. or anyone whose sweet tooth is influenced by traditional cookies made in the U.S. (or anyone who watches U.S. media!) is likely very familiar with the chocolate chip cookie:

Looking for a super-moist, super-easy, super-yummy brownie recipe?
My favorite brownie recipe is the “Whatever Floats Your Boat Brownies”. This recipe doesn’t call for a huge amount of ingredients and takes no time at all to whip up.
In addition to being available the old fashioned way (typed up/written out!), this recipe is now available on video:
These brownies are particularly decadent with either lemon or chocolate frosting. (The frosting recipes are included in the written-out version.)
Enjoy!
This is the video version of my favorite cookie recipe. If you prefer to read the recipe rather than viewing it, then visit the Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe page.
Happy cookie making!
