Welcome to the What's Your Chocolate? Blog Hop. You can check out M Pax's website HERE for more blogs to visit. I've been doing my own drooling with anticipation while I thought about what my favorite chocolate was. I decided that my chocolate desires changed with the seasons.
I associate chocolate covered cherries with Christmas. In fact every year I buy a box to eat throughout the season. I can remember having a box when I was twelve that I shared with my brothers and sister.
During Easter, my chocolate takes on a different taste when it is chocolate covered marshmallows I crave. I can't wait until next year when I can share it with my granddaughter in the form of brightly colored tinfoil designs.
My summer favorite is M&M's peanuts. The chocolate doesn't melt in the heat (as long as you don't sit out in the sun with it).
My all time favorite would have to be chocolate peanut clusters. I remember my mother keeping a candy dish with goodies in it, when I was young. I loved lifting the lid of the cut glass candy dish and picking out one piece to eat after school. My mother loved that particular kind of chocolate also.
As much as I love chocolate, I don't eat it very often. Because of physical problems, I'm not supposed to have any at all, but I do indulge occasionally. I imagine that eating low-calorie chocolate would help, but it doesn't taste the same. Since I don't need to eat it to make me feel better, I will continue to take an occasional bite of chocolate and enjoy the seasons as they come.
I'm not a choccie fan AND don't eat it very often. However, I do love nuts... especially cashew nuts...
ReplyDeleteMichelle: Ooo... I do love chashews myself. They are as expensive as chocolate covered peanuts.
DeleteHi, Karen! All of your chocolate indulgences sound yummy! I like all things chocolate, but narrowing it down to one thing, I'll go with chocolate cheesecake.
ReplyDeleteSusanne: I've never had chocolate cheesecake, but it sounds yummy!
Delete! As I read your description, I flashed on it and remembered that cut glass candy dish!! What a fun memory for you. I didn't remember she put those chocolate peanut clusters in it. :-)
ReplyDeleteI remember getting all kinds of candy in that dish. Remember the christmas candy?
DeleteHi Karen. I've tried the low-calories chocolate and it misses the mark. I do love all the seasonal chocolates you've listed. I can only eat a few chocolate-covered cherries. Those are SO rich!
ReplyDeleteWelcome Brinda: I agree, those chocolates are rich. One at a time is all they can be eaten.
DeleteI really shouldn't eat chocolate either, but I do, cheat and indulge from time to time. When I do, I just make sure the chocolate I choose to eat, is worth it.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to choose wisely. That way, when you do indulge, it feels satisfying.
DeleteSeasonal chocolate! I always think of Christmas with chocolate covered cherries as well.
ReplyDeleteI do love chocolate covered cherries and only have them at Christmas time. I forgotten about them.
ReplyDeleteI love this! Seasonal chocolate. Great choices.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in the blog hop! I'm a new follower. :)

Alex: Chocolate covered cherries just go with christmas. Like a special present inside!
ReplyDeleteHilde: Welcome! Glad to remind you of a favorite.
Ciara: Glad to have you! This blog hop is a hoot!
Awesome that you have seasonal chocolates. That's great. My sister loves chocolate covered cherries.
ReplyDeleteLove the way your chocolate changes with the season. I also only seem to crave chocolate covered cherries once a yr, around Valentine's day.
ReplyDeleteI love how many people are choosing some combination of chocolate with peanut butter or peanuts.
ReplyDeleteMy DH loves chocolate cherries! Peanut clusters are yummy with chocolate. Thanks for joining the blogfest. :)

You cheated, picking four different kinds! LOL. I like all those you mentioned except for the cherries. Don't care so much for those even though every year at Christmas I seem to get some from my students.
ReplyDeleteM Pax: Yay for chocolate covered cherries!
ReplyDeleteIsis: Maybe it has something to do with the winter season. The whole world is covered in ice and snow. And the cherries are covered in chocolate!
Carrie-Anne: Yes! I love those peanut clusters. I think they are the best of all!
Laura: I've had a blast with this blogfest. Everyone has been so responsive.
Susan: I only tried to think of the best kind each time of the year. My tastes change through the year.
I love how you divided these by season. Yes, chocolate is good any time of the year!
ReplyDeleteI associate chocolate covered cherries with Christmas too, but they're my Dad's treat not mine. I could go for the peanut clusters though!
ReplyDeleteYum! I hope I never have to stop eating chocolate. I only eat dark chocolate so that's healthier. But it would suck to have to stop that too!
ReplyDeleteSherry: It turns out that my sister did the same thing and we didn't even talk about it! Maybe the seasonal chocolates run in the family?
ReplyDeleteTim: I'm glad I can't afford a lot of chocolate peanut clusters. I'd eat too many.
Trisha: Dark chocolate has a very satifying flavor! I agree.
Shopping anywhere around Easter has always left me feeling overwhelmed with all the chocolate all over the place. Too much chocolate for me, haha, just stopping by from the Chocolate Blog Hop and saying hi!
ReplyDeleteNice blog and good information.
