If you've got melted chocolate on your hands, you're
eating it too slowly.
 
Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices & strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.
 
The problem:  How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in hot car.  The solution:  Eat it in the parking lot.
 
Diet tip:  Eat a chocolate bar before each meal.  It'll take the edge off your appetite and you'll eat less.
 
A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place.  Isn't that handy?
 
If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what is wrong with you?
 
If calories are an issue, store your chocolate on top of the fridge.  Calories are afraid of heights, and they will jump out of the chocolate to protect themselves.
 
If I eat equal amounts of dark chocolate and white chocolate, is that a balanced diet?
 
Money talks.  Chocolate sings.
 
Chocolate has many preservatives.  Preservatives make you look younger.
 
Q.  Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous?
A.  Because no one wants to quit.
 
If not for chocolate, there would be no need for control top pantyhose.  An entire garment industry would be devastated.
 
Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done. 

 

 

 

CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE 
 
1 largish Coffee Mug (make sure it is microwave safe)
4 tablespoons flour (regular white, do not substitute whole wheat, it's too heavy)
4 tablespoons sugar (substitute Splenda, if you like)
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1 egg (Hey, this could be your breakfast!!!  How cool.)
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
some nuts (optional) (pecans are nice, or pistachios, or even slivered almonds if you insist, but, really, how pedestrian)
Small splash of vanilla (like an eighth of a teaspoon)
Add dry ingredients to mug,  mix well.
Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well.
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and splash vanilla, mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes on high.
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little (yeah, that's going to happen!!), and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to share!  Who are we kidding, serves 1.)

And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night

 

However, if you are pressed for time and five minutes, plus prep time, is too long for you, just grab a couple of cups of the chocolate chips and let it go at that, plus you don't have a mug to clean and you can eat them in the car.
