Wouldn’t that be
wonderful. A place were you drive up and pick up your favorite chocolates.
Why not – you can pick up your burger & fries, fried chicken, prescriptions, extra foamy latte, or cash from the bank with out ever leaving your car. Even some dairies sell milk with a drive thru window. So why not chocolate??
Even now I hear some of the larger chain stores are thinking about trying or are already letting customers use the drive thru. (Sears, Kmart, GroceryExpress and Wal-Mart)
So I thought why not for chocolates?? Maybe not enough chocolate shops around. So maybe just drive thru chocolate web sites. Choose your chocolate, push order, pay and it soon will be at your door. (Not as fast as a drive thru, but it works about the same.)
That way you can enjoy fresh gourmet chocolate candy until the chocolate drive thru comes to your town. Enjoy!!!
Small amounts of gourmet chocolate can lower blood pressure and may reduce the risk of heart disease, according to a study publisher in the European Heart Journal.
The aut
hors of the study assessed 19,357 people, who were 35 to 65 years old, and they evaluated their chocolate consumption for a period of 10 years.
The research found that those who ate the most chocolate – an average of 7.5 grams a day – had lower blood pressure and a 39% lower risk of having a heart attack or stroke compared to those who ate the least amount – an average of 1.7 grams of chocolate a day.
Gourmet chocolate can lower your blood pressure and is good for your heart. Enjoy it for health sake.
A while back I talked about “Bubble Chocolate.” This chocolate is infused with air bubbles is nudging its way to store shelves across the U.S.
Creating Bubble Chocolate is a delicate balance of art and science. Bubbles are infused into the chocolate at the right time and temperature. Followed by molding and cooling the chocolate so that the bubbly structure remains inside as smooth outer shell is formed.
Bubble Chocolate has a light, airy texture that is slightly chalky when you bite into the bars. The chocolate company recommends the “time tested method” of eating aerated chocolate: break off a small piece, melt in your mouth for a few seconds, and, as the bubbles soften, chewing the bar gently.
The 2.8 ounce bar available in dark or milk chocolate is currently in about 1,000 retail stores starting at $2.50 a bar. More information is available online at bubblechocolate.com

1 in 3 children are overweight
These numbers are four times higher than they were 40 years ago.
Easter baskets were always filled to the brim with candy – jelly beans, chocolate bunnies, cream filled eggs and peeps.
Some parents figured this holiday should be candyless – for the health of their children. They stuffed baskets with bottles of bubbles, sidewalk chalk, crayons, small books, jump ropes, plastic eggs filled with coins, movies, and with healthy snacks like – raisins, granola bars, fresh fruit, and lovely hand died eggs.
Parents know about candy and chocolate in moderation for themselves – why not for their children. Help them make some healthy memories.
