The Chocolate Urge

I've been very hungry for chocolate lately.  It happens to me every now and then.  I used to make fudge when I got the chocolate urge.  By the time I'd cooked it to the right temperature and then got it into the buttered pan and I licked the fudge pan and spoon, my craving for chocolate was satisfied with just a couple of pieces of fudge.

I haven't made fudge for a long time now but recently I've had a strong urge for chocolate.  Friday I made myself chocolate sauce for ice cream, using chocolate chips, milk and some butter.  It was wonderful but Saturday I wanted more.  Then I made chocolate pudding from scratch, using lots of cocoa powder, milk, butter, sugar and egg.  I think I'm satisfied now.  Except that the sauce on the vanilla ice cream was really exceptionally wonderful.  I think for this evening a couple of Hershey's dark chocolate kisses will be enough.

    My daughter (TeeBell) got the idea to make chocolate covered pretzels to take to our church's fellowship dinner today. I don't know why she came up with that idea, but it was very popular with the kids. They loved them.

    Chocolate covered pretzels might have satisfied your craving for chocolate, it it was small. If it was bigger, you would have preferred what someone else brought: fudge.

    I've been SO good as of late avoiding chocolate and leaving my daily cravings go unsatisfied. Now that I've read your post and of all that delicious spoon-licking, I see a trip to Dairy Queen in my future tonight.

    Thanks! I owe ya one. ;)

    I am so chocolate bad! At least lately. DQ sounds like a great idea. And chocolate covered pretzels? Well, I hate to ruin good chocolate on a pretzel.
