I USED to think that reese cups were THE BEST.
Now I know the TRUTH.

Dark chocolate, at least 70% cocoa, flavored with Cherries and Chilis.

Taste the truth and the truth shall set your cravings free.

Tastes definitely vary.

I love milk chocolate; I like peanut butter.

But not together. Ych.

Mole only rarely has chocolate in it. It’s a whole family of (mildly) spicy sauces to cook things in (not always poultry).

Just the chocolate kind is famous, especially in my family:

My father and my brother were fond of opining that there were two kinds of food — the kind you put chocolate in and the kind you put garlic in. Someone — was it me? I don’t even remember — reminded them of mole, and that set off a whole new raft of opining.

Lauren #2: I find this to be true as well, but I’m puzzled why this is. I generally prefer dark chocolate MUCH more than milk chocolate, but those dark chocolate Reese’s just don’t work for me. Perhaps it was the dark chocolate chosen by them. Very odd.

Dark chocolate over bananas is _amazing_. (Shishkaberries are the highlights for me at Seattle’s yearly Folklife and Bum bershoot festivals.) I tend to avoid most candy bars now if they’re merely milk chocolate instead of dark.

On prezels, though, I find I prefer white chocolate.

The right tool for the job, I guess. :)

Pollo en Mole just doesn’t work for me at all, though. Is teh yuk!

It is the yin to its evil yang: honey-mustard. There is no more foul substance on Earth.

And you claim to be resisting the malady known as "middle-aged spread"? Now we know the truth! Speaking from experience, your hopes of regaining your boyish figure are in vain. Peanut butter and chocolate . . . "Resistance is futile". With best wishes, - Tom -
