sweets of all kinds

Anyone who knows me knows that I love desserts of all kinds. That includes candy bars and Chips Ahoy cookies. On our first day at our birthing class at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) the instructor – who ended up helping me while I was in labor and with the delivery of baby Doodle – brought Chips Ahoy cookies for a snack for the class. She said rhetorically, “When was the last time you’ve had a Chips Ahoy?” She asked it like you must be crazy to be an adult and eat Chips Ahoy. Mr. Doodlebug and I looked at each other and laughed because we had just eaten those very cookies the night before. Of course, we didn’t answer her rhetorical question out loud as the class would have thought we were weird or something.

Have you ever wondered if there is a difference between Hershey’s dark chocolate kisses and Hershey’s Special Dark bars? Well, Mr. D and I had a tasting this evening and it turns out there isn’t much difference, but the Special Dark bar was a bit creamer in texture and overall more rich. It’s great that someone has declared dark chocolate to be good for you. Now I don’t have to feel half as guilty about eating an overabundance of dark chocolate every night. Well, not every night.
