Chocolate? YES!

ALERT: From now on g/wedf is all I'm going to type for gluten/wheat egg and dairy free. If whatever I'm typing about isn't all of those things I'll spell it out.

As it turns out, so called "milk chocolate" actually does have milk in it.  Go figure.  Just look at any standard normal candy bar label.  And believe me, I've been looking at a lot of them.  Dark chocolate, on the other hand, does not usually have milk in it.  Problem is, I'm not really all that crazy about dark chocolate. The rest of the problem is that for about 3-4 days every month I am all about consuming chocolate.

The first thing I tried was Chocolate Silk®.  Silk® is soy milk, and it comes in different flavors.  Chocolate Silk®, in my opinion, is even better than chocolate milk.  It has a fullness that chocolate milk does not have.  And it seems to more than satisfy those chocolate cravings.  It also has a longer life than regular milk.  All good things.  But it isn't very portable, really, since it has to live in a refrigerator and I live in Arizona.

I went shopping with a friend tonight (more on shopping with friends in another post), and while trying to sell me on dark chocolate, she took me to the chocolate section of Whole Foods.  The very first thing I saw, right there just above eye level (I'm not tall, you know) was a chocolate bar that says on the label "100% dairy free", and elsewhere on the label "gluten free".  "Creamy Sweet Chocolate bar".  YES!!  I'm all about creamy sweet chocolate bars!  I came home with several different dark chocolates to try, but the first one I tried was the Sweet Chocolate Dream.  mmmmm

ohhhhh

mmmmmmmmmmm.

Did I mention, mmmmmmm?

I'll have to try their ice cream next.
