chocolate

Now that the ice is melting, it's time for hearts to start thawing out. Valentine's Day is coming. No matter how grandiose Texas Valentine's Day plans may become, they all start with candy.

Why am I like this? Does anyone literally wait until this time of year to try all the recipes? lol It's like I wait until Christmas to try all kinds of new recipes and no I'm not necessarily talking about food. I'm talking about satisfying my sweet tooth!

I was today years old when I discovered how amazing a certain candy is that has been around for a very long time! I kid you not, I've seen commercials, I've seen them in stores for pretty much every holiday, Valentine's Day, Christmas, maybe even Easter they're always on the shelves but I've never tried one.

Yesterday was SUN-DAE and we took full advantage in our household. I can tell you right now the one that you see pictured, is NOT mine. I do not like strawberry but offer me a chocolate one and I'm down! Actually make it hot fudge with nuts.

Remember when these were only a 'thing' at the fair? While grocery shopping recently I discovered you can now buy deep fried twinkies! Chocolate ones at that. Yum! Not surprisingly I saw several baskets with a box thrown in. lol

What's the first thing you think of when I say CHOCOLATE? Time for another edition of MATCH GAME. Will you match Rebecca 's answer? Let's play below...

The cold front has hit! Temps have dropped outside, the heater goes up a notch inside! And the warm weather food and drink start flowing, including my favorite drink on a cold day, hot chocolate.
