Hungry for Chocolate

Doesn’t every girl have an emergency chocolate stash in her purse? 

My name is Jolene; and I am a chocoholic. My preference is milk chocolate, followed by dark. In my opinion, white chocolate is wannabe chocolate. Nuts are good in chocolate. But most of the time, I crave the smooth creaminess of pure chocolate. My favorite brands are Ritter, followed by Sees, followed by Lindt, followed by Milka.

My favorite forms of chocolate (in order) are:

• Brownies - preferably triple chocolate fudge brownies
• Cake frosting
• Chocolate fudge ice cream
• Chocolate ganache
• Chocolate chip cookies - as long as there are extra chocolate chips.

Chocolate is always the appropriate dessert. But it's also good any time of the day. For breakfast on-the-go, I love chocolate chip and chocolate fudge Pop-tarts. I also add hot chocolate mix to oatmeal and Malt-O-Meal. For snacking, I like hot fudge on bread and fruit covered in chocolate sauce. I keep M&M’s handy to reward myself while reading school textbooks. After a certain amount of pages, I pop in some M&M’s, and then suck on them as long as possible to preserve the flavor. 

There have been nights (after eating chocolate at every meal and in-between meals) that I’ve gotten stomach aches to pay for my chocoholic ways. But it doesn’t stop the obsession. 

The moment my chocolate stash is depleted, I begin having withdrawals and run to the store as soon as I can. I know that I can beat the cravings if I stop consuming chocolate cold turkey for about a month. I’ve done this successfully a couple times. The only problem is that once I start eating it again, I end up right back where I started.

 

And I will admit that I have indeed been eating chocolate while writing this post. What’s a girl to do?!
