72 oz. = 4 1/2 lbs. & Happy Chocolate Day!



Did you know that today is Happy Chocolate Day? And I didn't find out until 8:30 PM tonight, July 7, and quite by accident. Can you believe I, of all people, did not know this?





I...KNOW! That's what I said!
72 OUNCES OF CHOCOLATE?!

SO...My daughter, Chels, helped cater a graduation party. They let her take home this GINORMOUS unopened bag of Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips. Well...they started out as chocolate chips, BUT after sitting in her car for a day, this bag turned into a huge bag of ooey, gooey, YUMMY melted chocolate! Now, I'm not real good with math, so it took me a moment to convert this to 4 1/2 LBS. OF CHOCOLATE. Is this a dream? Have I died and went to Her*shey Heaven? She brought that in the house, my eyes bulged out of their sockets and--losing all dignity--I began drooling (have I no shame?) I had a spoon in my hand before the bag could land with a soft, squishy, melty THUD on the counter. Then we dug in (yes, I DO share!) After all, it wasn't going to be long before it turned into a big hard brick, right? Which it did. Just another delightful SO... moment in my life.

It's All SO...HAPPY CHOCOLATE DAY Good!

  2. Brenda, I am so amazed at this post today. I was craving chocolate today badly, the only thing I had around, was my 72 oz. bag of chocolate chips. Same brand. I dug in and took a handful. How funny is that. I haven't done that in months. What are the odds of us both celebrating Happy Chocolate Day in unison...Mine was chips and not a thick bar though. But still.

  4. Shoot! Figures I'd find out about it at 12:04 AM the NEXT day.

    Gotta put this on my calendar for next year!

  5. Yum! And to think, I barely had any chocolate yesterday (I did have a couple fudge striped cookies)!

    It's awful convenient that the chips melted and could no longer be saved to make cookies. ;)

  12. You know it's funny but as I read your chocolate blog I am eating a cherry crunch I made (with fresh home picked cherries), butter pecan icecream and covered with lots of rich thick dark milk chocoloate. Yummm, yumm. I could really relate to your chocolate drool. You are so funny sister and you make me laugh just like you did when we were kids. What a joy you have been. Keep on keepin on being you, girl. your little big sis

  15. Brenda,
    That is truly an awesome story! I can just picture you all ready with your spoon! And it sounds like it was incredibly delicious!

    I had no idea about Chocolate Day, but I think I better go make up for lost time! :-)
