Godiva & the final after-Val day sales tally...

So I made out like a bandit at the post-Val day choc sales- best score by far was GODIVA half-priced hearts- such a treat to open a box of gorgeous chocs that also taste amazing- their quality is far better than average choc (but still not at the level of superior fancy European choc houses like those in NYC & Paris- many of which I have been lucky enough to visit years ago). I will slowly savor my collection you see stacked together- yes thats 12 heart boxes, some Hershey Bliss, and Ferrero Rocher all at a deep discount! This should hold me over until the post-Easter choc sales....

Chocoholic's favorite day- After Valentine's Choc Sales!!

Every year I look forward to February, not for Valentine's day exactly, but for the major chocolate sales afterwards! Feb 15th is the Superbowl of choc sales- all the yummy assorted choc hearts go 50% off, and if you can wait a few more days they go 75% off! I have yet to hit Godiva (tomorrow) but here is my haul so far. No its not the world's best or fanciest choc, but I do love assorted varieties and Whitman's/ Russell Stover are quite good for inexpensive choc- they are truly American classics. My best score is the large box of ALL DARK- last one on the shelf! Who needs flowers & jewelry? Im all set, thank you....

NEW- Valentine's M&Ms collection!

Here comes Valentines' Day- one of chocolate's biggest celebrations! Of course M&Ms joins the party with their fancy colors and bags, so here I have all the M&M packaging from all the different stores going back a few years. For every big candy season M&Ms creates a variety of new packaging for different major stores- Walmart, Target, and all other grocery/pharmacies all have different designs (but the colors inside are all red, pink, & white). So as I have done since my blog started, I am sharing with you how they all look together, and you can see the differences are quite striking. So fun! I love it....
