NEW! Dark chocolate & crunchy ice cream toppings!

Smuckers and Hershey are now competing for your Dark Chocolate love- both have really good dark choco ice cream syrup flavors that are different in thickness (Smuckers thicker) but similar in Awesomeness! Love love love them both, espec on Briars Vanilla Bean or Neopolitan ice cream....Mmmmmmm
Then there's Smuckers Magic Shell and Heath crunchy shell toppings that harden on contact with frozen food- be it ice cream, bananas, whatever- these are delicious!

New M&Ms- Nascar, Transformers, and Pens!

M&Ms, the official candy of Nascar, have put out some fun packaging for the event...also they are sponsors of the new Transformers movie with a new flavor- Strawberried Peanut butter (think Pbutter & jelly w/ a choco crunch)- really yummy! And then I have some various fun M&Ms collectibles. Enjoy!

Chocolates of the World- Japan!

Here are some funky cool treats I got from J-List.com. Really cute mini chocolate ice-cream cones, and Pistachio chocolate! They really like fruit flavored white choc -this bar comes in banana, strawberry, and other flavors too. Interesting, but not chocolate in my opinion- just cocoa butter, sugar, and flavoring. Ick. Look below to see Japanese KitKats!

NEW- Twixels!

These are the new "lighter" version of Twix candy bars that come in new fun flavors- Triple Choc, French Vanilla, and Caramel. They are clearly geared toward women and pronounce "only 90 calories per serving" on the box. And they are delicious little cookies! I especially enjoyed trying 2 flavors together, but of course went way over and past the "serving" size.....who could eat just 2??

NEW- Pillsbury Dark Choc Mint Cake!

Now this is just SO decadent and chocolaty that I simply had to try it- and trust me, its every bit as good as as the photo suggests. The Andes mint cream and sprinkles really make it amazing- I had to refrain from eating it all myself! Highly recommended!

Another celebration of chocolate cereal (& milk)!

This is my second "ode to chocolate cereal" because there have have been some new and amazing cereals put out lately! Now add to these some chocolate milk (soy for me) and you have one amazing low-fat, high sugar, cool-summer, chocoriffic treat!!
I can't go a day without it.....

Japanese KitKats- can't get these flavors here!

Nestle KitKat is quickly becoming the new Pocky- Japan's favorite chocolate candy. I got all of these on the fun Japanese pop-culture site J-List.com and you can see they look similar but are also quite different than the U.S. versions. The flavors are really unique & wonderful- Custard Pudding, Tiramisu, Jasmine Tea, and Azuki bean- and you can see they use both white and milk chocolate for the many varieties. I just love the beautiful packaging and will certainly keep my eye on J-List.com to see if any new flavors come out (surprisingly the shipping cost is quite low from Japan!)
