Stuff We Like #3

Hi Everyone. Toni Griffin here. *Waves* I'm going to take a leaf out of Freddy MacKay's book and post about food. I mean it is Freddy's fault in the first place that I even know what these delectable little morsels are. Fannie May's Mint Meltaways. Oh My God. These squares of chocalatey minty goodness are too die for.

Freddy sent me my first box a year or so ago in the post, all the way from Chicago to Darwin, Australia. When I opened the pack I was a little disappointed as I'm not a big mint fan, have never really liked it. I didn't want to be a bad friend though and opened the box. I thought I would give them a try so I could at least say thanks but please don't send them to me again. (Freddy if you are reading this, DO NOT listen to that last sentence. I didn't mean it. I swear. *Bats eyes*)
Instead it was like dying and going to heaven. Words really can't describe just how delicious these chocolates are.

So my good friend Freddy thought she'd be nice and send me another parcel six months later. Something, somewhere along the way went wrong and this is what I ended up receiving. Still tasted good though, let me tell you.

As many of you know I just recently got back from a trip to Chicago. Fannie May was a must stop while I was there. The stores may have been visited more than once. I acknowledge nothing. Just the scent as you walk into that shop was like opening up that little box again for the first time. Chocolate and mint and all things yummy.

I was nice and brought a couple of boxes home, one for me, one for my mum and another for a work friend of mine. By the time my colleague left work there were only 4 meltaways left in the box. Within a half hour of her opening them she was on the internet trying to see if there was any way to get them shipped here from the US.

After my mother went home (she flew over to look after my daughter while I was away) she complained to me that every time she went to the fridge to get a meltaway my dad would ask for one too. She wasn't happy about having to share her chocolates. I just laughed.

These things have to be laced with some kind of drug they're so damn addictive. I have to restrain myself otherwise my entire box would have been gone the day I got off the plane. Instead, I'm the only one out of the three of us that has any left. I may have taken a photo of my meltaways and sent it to my mother the other day to taunt her. What? I'm a good girl, really. *Grins*

So that’s a little about one of my favourite chocolates. Leave a comment and let me know what yours is to go in the draw to win a $10.00 amazon gift card.

I love chocolate so if anything new comes out in the shops I have to try it. Anyway my mum found a bag of Aero chocolate Bubbles (little balls of chocolate) in Orange flavour loved the chocolate ones but wasn't to sure but I tried them and wow they are so delicious I couldn't stop eating them. Now I can't find them anywhere!! If anybody in the UK sees them I want them!!!

Chocolate is always a favourite! I managed to savour the truffles I got on our trip to Fannie May's and while those are an occasional treat, my favourite chocolate is Cadbury Twirl bars that I can only get at an import shop called The British Pantry.

Obviously I'm not entering the contest, lol - but oh, that Fannie Mae store. I could have grazed there all day.

Great story. I'm not a big mint fan, but maybe I'll have to give the Fannie May meltaways. :-)

My favorite chocolate is Cadbury Milk Chocolate. It is so creamy and delicious without being too rich. It is never too sweet and that makes all the difference for me. I normally only get it twice a year otherwise I would probably die of chocolate overload.
