Do you like mint chocolate? - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Gabe · 11-25-2005, 01:21 PM

If so, I've discovered two things recently that you might like.
1) Hershey's Mint Chocolate Kisses
These are what they call a "Limited Edition". Get'em while you can, they are outstanding.
2) This one I have to qualify. I am normally not a big proponent of Coffeemate. That being said, their Peppermint Mocha flavor is most excellent in coffee. I think this might also only be around during the holidays, so ditto to the above.

ooouuu gabe - i've had the kisses but not the creamer - i'll have to check it out at the grocery tomorrow! thanks for the tidbits!

Gabe · 11-25-2005, 01:29 PM

The creamer tastes like you melted one of the kisses in your coffee.
Good stuff

minnie · 11-25-2005, 01:49 PM

Sorry, Gabe, can't stand my chocolate adulterated. Except by coffee flavours, for some reason.

Don't get me started on chocolate orange. *gags*

Really? Someone threw a Lindt chocolate orange bar in our grocery cart today.
He may take issue with you on that one.
Me, I can take my chocolate straight, or with a mixer.
Chocolate with raspberry is especially nice.
Oh and by the way, those Land O'Lakes flavored hot cocoas are pretty damn good too while I'm on the subject.

And for the diabetic...

Sugar Free Baskins Robbins Hard Candies

Mint Chocolate Chip

Wal Mart carries them....88 cents a bag!

I know I am working hard on tolerance and respecting personal choice. I have a funny feeling he is too.

GoldenGutters · 11-25-2005, 02:36 PM

Whats really good is taking all of your left over candy canes at christmas and crushing them then mixing them into fudge.....yum yum yummy!

pedagogue · 11-25-2005, 02:38 PM

One of my favorite types of ice cream!

Cindi R · 11-25-2005, 03:03 PM

The coffee creamer is da bomb!
Tried it for the first time a couple of days ago...now have some in my fridge.
1.56 at Walmart

I LOVE the chocolate mint kisses!!!
I'll have to try the coffeemate - I am not crazy about that stuff either, but, it sounds good enough to give it a try.

Oh, and chocolate oranges?? Every year!!! Yea!

(I figure there's no calories if it's only once a year, no? )

Shalom!

2dayzmuse · 11-25-2005, 03:30 PM

Now I'm craving chocolate orange.

Dan · 11-25-2005, 03:33 PM

I just finished it all

2dayzmuse · 11-25-2005, 04:15 PM

I'll be heading to the store soon...

minnie · 11-25-2005, 04:21 PM

I ain't no chocosnob, buddy. Just don't like chocolate with stuff in it. Each to their own........

Ach, it's all 70% cocoa solid choc for me now anyway - I watched SuperSize Me last night. (didn't help that I was eating a bowl of ice-cream at the time.)

**best** · 11-25-2005, 05:00 PM

as you all finish your chocolates...
remember we have a OA board.
Yes I know chocolate denial is hard to get past. Life without chocolate...may as well take the air away from some people *LOL*

Not even nuts?
(You knew I was going to say that, didn't you?

)
Don't feel bad Minnie.
He calls me a bean snob (as in coffee beans).

minnie · 11-25-2005, 05:08 PM

Especially not nuts. And don't even go there with fruit and nuts. Besides, my brother (and room-mate) is severely allergic to nuts, so they are verboten in the house.

Gabe · 11-25-2005, 05:13 PM

Oops...guess I'll go unwrap your Christmas present now.

cwohio · 11-25-2005, 05:14 PM

has anyone ever tried - ummm...they're cherries (dried) and covered in chocolate and then a cherry coating. several different brands out - i bought some thru the harry & david catalog but found some at target and ate the whole package that nite!

sorry minnie!

minnie · 11-25-2005, 05:25 PM

Yuck! But you see, I like chocolate covered coffee beans.

How odd am I?

(p.s. was exactly that dairy milk stuff I was thinking of. My Mum loves it. In fact, I really think she needs to go to CA (Chocoholics Anonymous). She is tiny and can get through piles of chocolate in an evening. One Minstrel is too many, 1000 never enough.

cwohio · 11-25-2005, 05:26 PM

oouuu - chocolate covered beans - yummy! what's a minstrel - candy bar?
