TOP 3: Dark Chocolate Valentine’s Day
Dear Food Diary:
I felt obligated to put my two cents into this overly hyped and commercialized day. As cheesy as this may sound, I truly believe that if you’re with the right one, everyday is like Valentine’s Day. But if you need “a day” to remind you to love and appreciate your other half, well, so be it. A little chocolate, flowers and jewelry never hurt anyone (maybe just some wallets). If you still haven’t done anything special for your lady, you might be in trouble, but there’s still time for some chocolate, specially dark ones in my opinion, well… unless she’s allergic, then I strongly recommend staying way! We don’t want a chica version of that Hitch scene. Solo this year you say? No problemo…”life’s like a box of chocolates, you never know who you might meet next!” right?… so go out and splurge on yourself! Why not!? You’re worth it!
Here are my TOP 3 all time favorite dark chocolate stores (Valentine’s day or not)
LAST CHANCE to Send Honeybells to your Honey
Dear Food Diary:
The weather has been so gray and gloomy here on the East Coast lately. I can’t wait for my box to arrive. I went home yesterday expecting them, only to find myself empty handed while watching The Bachelor (ok that was a random thought….)Every year, I get these Honeybell Oranges from Gregory Groves. They’re only available once a year and let me tell ya, worth every penny. So juicy and sweet, you can literally put a straw in them. They come with a bib!!! enough said!
hmmmmm APPetizing cookie iPhones
Now this is genius! Only japanese peeps could be this intricate and detailed… I say waiting a couple month is totally worth it and for $33 this is really a steal, I mean how awesome is this!!! right?! I finally switched to an iPhone this year and I love it, but it ain’t this tasty… hmmm I can’t almost taste it, maybe like a ginger snap? READ MORE

OH Danish Bakery: Kringle Kris Kringle this Holiday
Dear Food Diary:
Ho!Ho!Ho! Sweet Christmas says Kris Kringle… (well at least at our office).
Every year my very cheery, holiday loving boss orders boxes and boxes of these extra flaky and buttery Kringles for the office. Danish puff pastry filled with nuts or fruit. We usually get the Classic Flavors like Pecan, Almond, Blueberry, Raspberry, Apricot. My all time favorites are the Apricot and Pecan.
Chocri: Customize and name your chocolate bars!
Dear Food Diary:
A while back, the folks at Chocri let this Chubby customize and name her own chocolate bars. First pick the type of chocolate (dark for me) and then you get a wide variety of add ons that were super fun and cool. Anything from nuts to dry flowers and fruits, spices, grains, confections and even real gold flakes! Trust me, you’ll have a great time customizing your very own!
I ended up with two, CCG’s Opulent Breakfast and Sense & Sensibility. If you like these, you can order these personalized chocolate bars exactly the same way at Chocri
