I'm craving chocolate. Bad. I'm not like most girls in that chocolate is considered its own food group. I enjoy it in small doses, but I rarely crave it like I am right now. Must be the time of year. I can't help but crave chocolate when Valentine's Day is near. But not just any chocolate. I hate those boxes of chocolates sold nearly everywhere on Valentine's Day. I'm really not even that keen on candy store chocolates. One year when I was in high school, for Christmas this guy I had been on a date with gave me a two pound box of chocolates from See's candies. After the date my friend and I went back to her place and took a bite out of every single one of those chocolates. Just to see what kind they were and if we liked them.

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

It was very much NOT a good idea. We were sick for days! And to this day I still can't eat See's chocolates. Their peppermints, yes. Chocolates, no. So because of that experience I really have a hard time with candy store chocolates. Unless it's chocolate covered strawberries.

I don't know what it is but chocolate covered strawberries are probably my favorite thing to eat in the entire world. The best ones come from Cummings chocolates. And I'm pretty sure you can only get them for Valentine's day. At least that's the only time I've ever had them. I don't know how they do it in February but those strawberries are nearly the size of my fist and red and sweet. Mmmmm..... I might have to get one of those.
