Brownies

All of us love a delicious chewy, gooey, melt-in-your-mouth brownie. We love them with extra chocolate chips and a little powdered sugar on top. I like the ones that have chocolate frosting on top. The other day, I had an excellent brownie covered with vanilla ice cream and whip cream and drizzled with chocolate. I loved the store-bought brownies wrapped up in a little package years ago. A friend of mine makes mouth-watering brownies that her Grandchildren eat in short order. Brownies are good comfort food.

Hot Chocolate

I like the drinking chocolate that they had in Europe. It was very nice and thick and flavored with amaretto or almond flavoring. The hot drinking chocolate was so delicious that I ordered one right after I had finished one. I ordered another one on another trip that I took to England. I have made my version of this by melting candy bars and milk in my microwave oven. I like ordinary hot chocolate also if it is not watered down and almost tasteless.

Candy Bars

European and Swiss Chocolate Are The Best

Once you have eaten a European candy bar, you also do not like the American ones. I like dark chocolate the best now as it has a more potent chocolate taste and more antioxidants in it. I do like the Ghirardelli brand, which is made in San Francisco. After going to Europe, I like the quality candy bars, which taste better. Once in a while, I will order some on the Internet from a British Store. I like the ones with a little tinge of Brandy in them for the holidays. When eating chocolate rabbits, the ears go first, the middle, and the tail. Buy a quality candy bar, and you will immediately taste the difference. Treat yourself to a decadent chocolate candy bar today.

Chocolate Chip Or Chocolate Cookies

I have found two places that make lovely chocolate cookies with vast pieces of melted chocolate. The cookie is large enough for at least two servings. One place is the coffee house – Rustic Brew in Hampton, Iowa. The other place is a gas station in Northwood, Iowa which is Godfathers. Sometimes the gas station on HWY 65 in Northwood, Iowa, has them.

Chocolate Cake

I like a layered chocolate cake with lots of dark chocolate frosting on top of it. I love a moist cake that melts in your mouth. Years ago, I had one chocolate cake baked too long in the oven, which was as dry as toast. The best piece of chocolate cake I have ever eaten was from Markley and Blythe, the restaurant in the Frank Lloyd right hotel in Mason City, Iowa.

Chocolate Ice Cream

I love a dish or cone of dark chocolate ice cream. I love The Creamery ice cream in the old Brick and Tile Bldg. in Mason City, Iowa. Birdsall’s ice cream is always a winner, which is also in Mason City, Iowa. Holy Apples are in an old church in Clear Lake, Iowa, which is lovely as they make their ice cream themselves.
