chocolate

I have been hearing the ice cream truck trolling the neighborhood on warm afternoons lately, so I have frozen treats on my mind. Here is a delectable dark chocolate ice cream with pink puffed rice bits. You won’t be able to buy this from your local ice cream truck driver, but you can make it yourself, by modifying this basic recipe. I think I’d like to try it with chewy brownie bits mixed in! Yum!

Many chocolate-covered thanks to chotda, for sharing this delicious photo!

I was in the mood for something chocolate, and I came across this delicious chocolate waffle. It’s made in a waffle iron, with devil’s food cake batter. Of course, the batter is mixed from scratch — not from a box — although I’m tempted to try it with a boxed mix, just to see whether it works.

Who says you can’t have chocolate cake for breakfast? Topped with whipped cream and strawberries, it looks like the perfect breakfast to me!

Thank you to Jocelyn, of Eugene, Oregon, for sharing her photo and recipe!

Okay, these are not edible, but they look so much like real chocolate, I had to share them here. They are chocolate charms, to put on your cell phone strap, purse, or wherever else you want something sweet! They are made in Japan, which is known for its realistic food replica displays outside of restaurants. I wouldn’t mind having these dangle from my phone, but I think I’d have constant chocolate cravings! The set of three charms is about $10 US, from strapya, and they come in a cute candy box. Now I have to go eat some real chocolate!
