My Favorite Things, Part 1

I guess I'm not Oprah (although I did meet her twice when we lived in Chicago--remind me to tell you about it) with a huge giveaway of gift bags and cars and all, but I do have a few current favorite things that I couldn't resist sharing with you.

This may look like an ordinary bite of chocolate, but I promise you, my friends, that it is far from ordinary.  This delectable, melt-in-your-mouth morsel could have been invented by Mr. Willy Wonka himself from a floating river of chocolate.

Now that I am back on a sugar-free kick in earnest, these little mouthfuls are invaluable.  Dove knows how to do chocolate, and I'm telling you--you cannot taste the difference between the regular version and sugar free--that's how yummy these are. One or two a day and they definitely keep the sugar monkey off my back.

One caveat:  They are very difficult to find. First discovered at Walmart during the holidays, I didn't see them return to shelves until recently, and they are currently not available all the time.  Walmart still doesn't have them in stock.  Neither does Target, but I have had a little luck at Walgreen's and Kmart.  When I do find them, however, I tend to buy all the store has on the shelf.  THEY ARE THAT GOOD.

You're welcome.
