Sometimes when you least expect it, a
new random chocolate.
. .
shows up .
Yes, I do have to say, I’m obsessed with good
chocolate. Hence the nick name
“Chocolate Girl”. And I’m
happy to report. .
.
that “good chocolate” is now on the FDA’s health food list (at least for now) due to its rich,
creamy oils that are so good for our bodies.
Though I think my “love for chocolate” has less to do with the “health” benefits (well,
maybe a little) of it and more to do
with the fact that,
I just “love
chocolate!”
What can I say?
When I need a break from writing I wander into the kitchen
and open my “chocolate” drawer and take out a piece of Theo’s organic 70% Sea
Salt chocolate. My all time Fave!
I know. . .
I remind my hubby and kids, my habit could be so much worse!
Every couple of weeks I get in my car and drive to Central
Market and buy several bars of Theo’s.
When I open my drawer and see I’m on the last bar a part of me begins to
-
hyperventilate. .
.
And the thing is,
If. . .
my husband’s niece from Minnesota, had not made plans for a
tour for all of us at the Theo Organic Chocolate Factory in Seattle during her
visit a couple of summers ago I would never have known about Theo Sea Salt
Chocolate. Or about the Theo Chocolate
Factory.
I know. . . Can you even imagine?
Seriously?Denise and her daughter Meghan.
Chocolate Sauce

½ tsp. salt
1 tblsp. cornstarch

Bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Add 2 tblsp. butter + 2 tsp. vanilla. Cool to lukewarm.
If there’s no chocolate ice cream in the house, this is the
next best thing, drizzled over vanilla ice cream.
