C is for Chocolate


      Is there really anything in the world that is better than chocolate ?  This time of year visions of chocolate bunnies hop about in my head.  Many will argue that marshmallow Peeps and jelly beans are just as wonderful, but it is the hollow chocolate bunny that is the star of the Easter Basket.


      Not to long ago I saw a picture on Face Book that perfectly represented the chocolate bunny’s plight this time of year.  It showed two chocolate bunnies together talking.  One complained that its butt hurt, and the other couldn’t hear.  Why you ask?  Some over eager soul had bitten off the one bunny’s butt, and someone else had nibbled off the other’s ears.  I personally thought this was hilarious.






      It got me thinking.  At no other time of year could you see people willingly eating a bunny’s a$$.  I mean gross, right?  You tell anyone they are eating the hind end out of an animal and they are most likely to spit it right out.  I would.  You would never have people begging to devour the chicken’s a$$hole or a cow’s crotch.


 
       Make those parts out of chocolate, and what one minute sounded nasty becomes doable in the next minute.  I am just as guilty as the next person.  I admit taking great delight in devouring countless chocolate bunnies over the years.  I always save their candy eyeballs for last!!  Every Easter we have all seen the Cadbury commercials where a lovely little bunny clucks away and then shoots Cadbury eggs out of its butt.  People are literally biting at the bit to gobble those things up.  It doesn’t matter if we seen it just come out of a bunny’s butt, it is chocolate and we are eating it!


       


       The sad thing is, even though I have contemplated all of this…Easter will soon come and I will be inhaling my chocolate bunny regardless.  What can I say?   I love chocolate until next time when I give you another glimpse into the life of a trucker’s wife.

    1. Jenn, I should have a conflict since I am trying to lose the junk in my trunk. I have taken steps though. I didn't buy myself any chocolate for Easter. I only did for the kids. We will see how that goes. LOL Thank you for stopping in to read and comment on my C post!!

  4. I make candies for all the boys in this house. I hate it, but we have food allergies. The chocolate bunnies aren't so bad. I have a good mold. I'll think of you this year when I make them!

  5. Kathy, how could you do this to me when I've given up chocolate for Lent! Luckily less than a week to go--then I'll gobble up one of those suckers, er, bunnies (I have to say I prefer the solid ones, though--more chocolate!)

    1. ElaineLK, I am sorry! Chocolate was the first thing that popped into my head so I wrote away. I have always like the hollow bunnies. I liked the flavor so much better. Thanks for stopping by to read and for your comments!!

  6. There is no such thing as bad chocolate, but I am a dark chocolate addict. I can't possible ever imagine being full of it or tired of it. I always want more. Bunny, egg, duck, chick, block, stick doesn't matter as long as it's chocolate and if it's dark Danish chocolate, I'm all over it!
