i don't like sweets....


except ones that i am in LOVE with!

as a rule, i'm not a big sweets person.  i don't have to have chocolate once a week or day, i don't have to partake in birthday cake, i don't have to eat cookies if they are there, just because they are there. 

there are exceptions to this rule.

-well made dark chocolate
-key lime pie
-banana cream pie (but it has to be exceptional, like the one at Zolo Grill)
-texas cream pie ( i haven't made one since i got it right)

to that end, i don't grab for a handful of reeses pieces, eat hershey's kisses, or anything of that nature. 

but i tell you, if i had a handful of the thing i just ate, i would eat the whole handful and not tell anyone.  it is, to be exact, a Chocolate Caramel Fleur de Sel from Robin Chocolates.  take a look at these, not to torture yourselves, but take a freakin look at some of these chocolates.  they are beautiful and she makes one that is a turtle.  she gets extra points in my book, just for that.  i had no idea that chocolate and salt could make my day, but it can....and did.

I'm not a sweet eater, either. But when I have a good piece of chocolate, I am like to chase after another one.
