CHOCOLATE .......

OMG, say the word "chocolate" and I start salivating! Where's that beach towel?

I have always been a bit of a chocoholic, and I've probably tried them all. I can be a bit of a chocolate snob at times. I like the good quality stuff, like Belgian chocolate, yummo! And, guess what? I have been to Belgium and have tried the real thing. And, let me tell you, it is better than you can imagine. So creamy, so rich, not too sweet, so decadent. Hmm, I must get back to Belgium one day :)

Imagine being a kid, desperately craving some chocolate, rummaging through the kitchen cupboard for a sniff of that yummy, sweet, dark chunk of pleasure. Only to find that icky cooking chocolate....... which, of course I would always eat!

My chocolate of choice these days seems to be a Time Out. I know, it's just a regular choccie bar, but probably one of the better cheapies out there.

I was lucky enough to work in a chocolate shop once. A Belgian chocolate shop too! Those of you from Melbourne might be familiar with Koko Black (this is not an advertisement, I promise) Their Hot Chocolate would have to be the best I've ever tasted. Lucky for me, I would get a freebie when on shift :)

That was until I went to San Churro in Chapel Street last week. I had a Chili Hot Chocolate. It was divine! Highly recommended. It's a store I will return to for sure. I also had a side of Churro's (Spanish Donuts with melted chocolate to dip into, OMG!)

So much for the diet!
