He likes to do a good deed by saving people gas.Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-3194495781518875492009-07-27T19:17:56.882-07:002009-07-27T19:17:56.882-07:00Actually it is my husband who eats the chocolate. ...Actually it is my husband who eats the chocolate. I nibble at it occasionally, but it is a MUST for him! My favorite flavor is BUTTER.<br /><br />There are four Trader Joe's locations in town. Maybe 4766 East Grant Road is close enough to you? We have to drive 160 miles round trip to visit the store.judilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13640947046484366376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-70680303617646389132009-07-27T18:56:23.940-07:002009-07-27T18:56:23.940-07:00Wow judilyn, and I thought I was a chocoholic! :) ...Wow judilyn, and I thought I was a chocoholic! :) That is quite the system you have. My boss brought me Trader Joe's chocolate once but I don't go because it is on the other side of town. I love Ghiradelli bittersweet chocolate chips on sale but they are still expensive. I like your idea better. btw, the Paul S. house has very good brownies. :)Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-83777957999133940372009-07-27T18:25:16.444-07:002009-07-27T18:25:16.444-07:00Daizy - RE: Chocolate - Are you acquainted with t...Daizy - RE: Chocolate - Are you acquainted with the wonders awaiting you at Trader Joe's? I get their big 17-oz. bar of Extra dark chocolate ($4.) and melt it down a few squares at a time in the microwave. <br /><br />Then I pour it out thinly onto a piece of foil stabilized on a meat tray, and put it into the refrigerator. When it has hardened, break into small pieces and put in a dish in the refrigerator.<br /><br />If you want a flavor, put in some flavor oil when it is melted. I have used orange and raspberry - and coffee!<br /><br />Just a small piece of this will satisfy you - cheap and delicious.<br /><br />Ask Paul S. about the orange-flavor! ;-> I would always have it for him when he came to visit (back in California).<br /><br /> Virtual hugs,<br /><br /> Judiejudilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13640947046484366376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-82752175293148926482009-07-26T18:57:20.838-07:002009-07-26T18:57:20.838-07:00Yep.
