Welcome to the "What's Your Chocolate?" blog hop!
When I saw this topic, I knew I had to get involved. I love chocolate! My favorite is dark chocolate. I think it's an addiction or something. In fact, I've been known to go to the store, get one of those baker's chocolate bars, and eat a few squares.
My kids, apparently, have inherited the "I love chocolate" gene. A few weeks ago, we took a little trip to Cleveland, Ohio to visit some friends and family (that's where I'm from). Cleveland, Ohio is home to Malley's, the most awesome chocolate candy store in the USA. (Malley's, for you trivia fans, is the candy store that invented Sweetest Day.) Of course, we had to visit that place.
"Mama," my son said as we walked in, "I want one of everything."
"Yeah, me too," I replied. "But we're not getting one of everything."
"Mom," my daughter said. "Let's get a hot fudge sundae."
That sounded like a great idea, so that's what we did. When we were done, my son had chocolate all over his face, and even some on his shirt. I chuckled. "Come on, let's go get some more chocolate."
Seventy-five dollars later, we left Malley's with a big bag of chocolate.
My daughter grinned. "Mom," she said. "I know what kind of birthday party I want."
"What kind?" I asked.
"A chocolate one."
That sounded good to me. So, in a couple of weeks, we are going to have a chocolate-themed birthday party for my daughter. On the list is a chocolate fountain, chocolate brownies, chocolate cake, and chocolate milk. Anybody want to come?
YES!!! a chocolate-themed party! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a rather grand idea!
DeleteI want a chocolate-themed party! :) Your daughter's got the right idea!
ReplyDeleteAlmost every time I shop, I have to buy a new box of baker's chocolate. I eat it just about every day. My friend used to think I was nuts until she tasted it. So good!
I love the stuff!
DeleteWow that is a ton of chocolate, used to love it by the pound but now, not so much, as it no longer sits right with me.
ReplyDeleteThat's probably a good thing, because too much chocolate isn't good for you.
DeleteA chocolate themed party? Yes, yes, yes, (hands wildly waving). I want to come! : ) Your daughter is one lucky young lady.
ReplyDeleteMy chocolate pick would be chocolate cheesecake.
chocolate cheesecake sounds pretty good!
DeleteChocolate-themed party? Oh dear, I'll pass on this one...
ReplyDeleteMmm... will there perhaps be a few savouries on the side for the non-choccie fanatics? *trying to ignore strange glances coming in my direction* he!he!
If you want to come to the party, you can have the strawberries and bananas (before they're covered in chocolate!)
DeleteIf there is a chocolate fountain at a party you can find me there.
ReplyDeleteChocolate and ice cream are the two things that always taste better in Ohio. It must be the cows.
Yeah - definitely the cows. LOL!
DeleteSounds like the best birthday party EVER!!
ReplyDeleteThat just showed the difference between girl and boy birthdays. Mine wants snakes and reptiles at his. Can I ditch mine and come to the chocolate party? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in the blog hop.

ReplyDeleteI think it's going to be a great time!

ReplyDeleteHaha! Yeah, it's going to be quite a crowd if the whole blogosphere comes!
DeleteThat sounds like a successful outing all around. I hope you post some photos of your chocolate party. It's such a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI'll see about photos. I'll certainly tell everyone all about it!

DeleteSounds wonderful! My daughter bought a chocolate fountain and it is terrific. We love dipping fruit into the brown waterfall.
ReplyDeleteI got the fountain for my daughter's tenth birthday. It was a big hit then, so I'm sure it'll be the star of the show this time!
DeleteA chocolate fountain is new to me, but a great idea for a party. Good luck with the chocolate party.
ReplyDeleteThe chocolate gene - something else new. . .
Chocolate fountains are very cool!
DeleteI'd love to be at a chocolate party. Um, how are we going to explain a middle-aged guy who nobody knows showing up without it seeming really creepy?
ReplyDeleteHaha! You'll have to hook up when one of your blogosphere friends and bring him/her along.
DeleteA chocolate themed birthday party sounds awesome! I hope you post pictures. I also hope you get enough help in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's going to be a lot of baking, isn't it?
DeleteThat is an awesome idea for a birthday party ;) I'd so be there if I was in your hemisphere. haha
ReplyDeleteCome anyway. It's only an eight hour flight. LOL!
