Sunday Sugar for the Other Side Presents... Chocolate!

I could have sworn I had someone in mind to feature this week for Sunday sugar, but now that we're down to the wire, I can't recall who it was going to be. "I'm so sorry, forgotten person out there, perhaps you will be remembered next week!"

Without further ado, I give you their replacement, something very near and dear to my heart.

Chocolate

As I am rather fond of saying, chocolate is proof that there is a God and he loves us and wants us to be happy. It's true! Think about all the wonderful chocolate confections out there: chocolate chip cookies, brownies, cakes, donuts, other cookies, candy bars, fudge, fondue, ice cream, chocolate syrup, chocolate milk, truffles, peanut butter cups, and more.




It's hard to know just what to say about something so special, so decadent and wonderful. I don't want to cheapen it by whoring it out, but I do want to express how magical and sensual chocolate really can be.

What makes the coldest day bearable? How about a steaming cup of hot cocoa?
What food can soothe a broken heart? Brownies, of course.
And what food makes any place feel like home? Chocolate chip cookies. Remember that delicious scent as you pull a tray out of the oven? Remember burning your fingers in the attempt to get a chewy bite while the cookies are still warm? How about eating dough straight out of the mixer until you have a stomachache and enough sugar in your system to see through time? Do you remember when you last experienced this?




In closing, chocolate is good, chocolate is great, and if everybody ate more of it, the world would be a happier, more magical place. Trust me! Oh, I almost forgot, if you click on the title of this post, you'll get to the website of the best chocolate place in Utah, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Mmmmmm!
