Chocolate Theme - Chocolate Dream!

Chocolate saves everything. 

And a box of these chocolate-themed donuts from Krispy Kreme is certainly enough to make any chocolate addict and/or donut-addict extremely happy.

My personal favorite would always be the one with the oreos! HAHA. I love it when my mom brings home a box of sweet delights. :)

Do-It-Yourself Creations Part 1 : Spread 'n' Top!

It was one boring afternoon, and I wanted a snack. A good snack. 

After staring at our pantry for a full 2 minutes . . . AHA!

I found a few of my favorite cookies, Chips Ahoy Reduced Fat Chocolate Chip Cookies, fresh and ripe bananas, and chunky Skippy Peanut Butter. 

Combining three of my faves, I attempted to create a snack that shows how I like my food and a snack that only certified weird foodies like me would also like. HAHA. 

Using the Chips Ahoy choco chip cookies as my base, I spread some chunky peanut butter on top (not too many, as to not overcome the cookies), and finally finishing it off with two slices of banana.

And here you have my sinful, possibly fattening, and foodgasmic snack. ;)

Mint Shakes!

Walking in the mall on Sundays usually make me thirsty. And getting thirsty means I also get tempted into buying one of Black Pearl's affordable, but tasty shakes. 

As you may have already guessed, I'm big on chocolate and anything that is 85-90% chocolate. HAHA. Buuut, I decided to change my usual and predictable chocolate shake.

Sooo, I went with a Chocolate Mint Shake with chewy black pearls. The best thing about this shake is not only its minty flavor and pure chocolatey-ness, but it had an added crunch with crushed nuts. 

This shake definitely motivated me to walk more and window-shop more. Even when I'm still in heels. Lol. 

A Date with Dates!

I got so used to eating either chocolate-covered almonds OR chocolate-covered raisins, that I was surprised (in a good way, HAHA) with what we received from a friend at Dubai. 

Combining two elegant ingredients and covering it with chocolate is probably one of the best ideas anyone has ever had. 

Munching on chocolate-covered almonds AND dates is certainly a good way to start eating a healthier version of desserts. 

I would love another bag of these. :)

Candy Canes on June!

Peppermint and candy canes are usually associated with Christmas.

It's just the middle of June, and I had a bit more time to have breakfast drink before going to work that day. So, I made myself a cup of Second Cup's Candy Cane White Chocolate. 

The hint of mint and white chocolate was enough to start the day right. 

I want to thank my aunt who sent this delish drink from Canada. Hoping for a second can! HAHAHA. 

A cup of this will definitely warm up your stomach on a cold morning. Very cozy. Very homey. :)

Thumbs up! 

Go Nutty on Pistchs!

Since the word "pistachios" is a mouthful, my brilliant mind came up with its nickname, "Pistchs". 

Ice cream tonight. Having been used to buying and consuming either chocolate-flavored and chocolate-based or ube-flavored dairy, we decided it was time to go nutty by having  Selecta's Pistachio and Cashews Ice Cream. 

Just enough sweetness, and the texture of the nuts compliment the smooth ice cream perfectly. 

Good Things Come in 3s!

They say that the healthiest kind of chocolate is Dark Chocolate. 

What more can I ask for with a huge bag of Hershey's Special Dark Mini Bars. It comes in three amazing mixes : with peanuts, with crispies, and of course, pure mildly sweet dark chocolate. 

Personally, I prefer the one with peanuts. I remember stopping by the  fridge every morning or every after dinner to grab a piece and just taste its bittersweet yumminess. HAHA. 

The funny thing about this bag of chocolates is that it was too many for us to handle. One day, we found out that it was expiring in less than 2 weeks and the bag was still have full. To save these mini bars, almost everyday, I would bring about 10 pieces to the office and pass it around to my officemates. Voila! It was gone before I could even say Dark Chocolate. HAHA. 

Will get another bag soon! :)
