Chocolate and Snow ... Need I Say More?



Let's face it, chocolate and snow go hand-in-hand.  The more it snows, the more chocolate I want.  Is it just me, or are you riding downhill on the same sled?

Just a week passed, and snow pays us another visit, slowing down our hectic roll.  Some welcome our Winter blast, many can't stop flipping the calendar to March as if that will magically fast forward us to Cherry Blossoms in bloom.  




Miracles and Blessings ... Kiki here ... we had a quiet night here at iCafe Woman Moderne, not the usual Tuesday night crowd.  Most waited for the threat of snow to show itself.  It's showing off right now with the local weather people predicting eight to ten inches.  It doesn't worry us because we're here 24-7 whether it's warm and balmy or snowy and brisk outside.  

I don't know about you, but when the snow falls and temperatures drop ... heated chocolate and milk comes to mind.  Actually, I crave all kinds of chocolate not just the beverage kind.  Since we're all on our eating right programs so we can feel and look amazing this Spring -- chocolate cravings often come uninvited.

With that said, yes ... I will be indulging in a cup of hot chocolate, hold the whip ... soon.   If I didn't, a box of post-Christmas 75% off chocolate-covered pretzels would be in my grubby hands and belly in a matter of seconds.

I live by the belief that some things in moderation is fine.  Chocolate is on the top of my "things in moderation" list. 

I've got a confession.  I indulged in one delicious white chocolate pretzel with jimmies and surprisingly one satisfied me.  (and it was not a miniature)  That was several hours ago and it doesn't mean that I'm not having my hot chocolate because I am.  (with low fat milk, of course) How can you not ... it's snowing outside.  It's time to snuggle up and get cozy.  Since this Winter thing is in full swing, we might as well hibernate when we can.  


Here's Something Fun To Do While You're Hibernating...

While hopping around cyberspace the other day, a popular blogger, Mariuca, briefly mentioned the "Chocolate Test."  Intrigued?  So was I.   I didn't find it on her site, so I searched it out.  Apparently, it's a test that tells you what your favorite chocolate says about you.

Take the Chocolate Bar Test and see what your favorite chocolate bar says about your personality.  My first choice was Baby Ruth, my second ... Snickers.


Pass the chocolate bar test to your friends and families:
