Having some dark chocolate right now. A bar with almonds and sea salt.

I tried sea salt dark chocolate once at Coffee Bean.  Never again.

Almonds are my favorite nut, though.

Have a break Becky, have a circa 1976 Kit Kat!

Just don't eat a Reggie Bar.  All because he reviewed the Star Wars Holiday Special commercials.

Blast from the past   As someone else said, Cadbury in the States is not as good as in the UK but I still manage to enjoy their Caramello bars once in awhile.

Ok confession time, I went a bit overboard the last few months, I ate so much chocolate that it started to affect me adversely! I didn't put any weight on I just suddenly started feeling lethargic, heavy arms and legs, and I noticed my feet were swollen! So I've had to cut it out completely and go for a choc detox for a couple of months. I started my detox on May 1 and it only took a couple of days to get rid of the lethargic feeling, and another day for my feet to completely go back to normal. Still a long detox will be completed! That'll teach me!

Thankfully I haven't reached that point yet. Glad you're feeling better. What's your go-to chocolate?

Well lately I was having 9 packs of Cadbury's Twirls, packets of Galaxy Counters, 9 Packs and 4 packs of Wispas. Also at Easter I had these Easter Bunny Maltesers. Once I open a packet I usually finish it off right then and there. So anyway I've been on a detox for about a week now and I've been back to normal for a few days, I'll keep this going for a few weeks though, even though I've got a load of this stuff stocked up in a cupboard!

Oh yeah and what probably sent me over the limit was I also had a few Easter eggs as well! Wispa and Twirl of course!

 Across the street from my home in Detroit were the Davidson's, both proud Scots.  They would visit Scotland every other year and bring me back these individually boxed piece from "Duncan".  A beehive shaped dome of milk chocolate with half a walnut on the bottom, then filled with nougat similar to that in a 3 Musketeers bar.   Miss them a lot, though it's been over 65 years since I had one.
