MMMmmmm Chocolate

Dark Chocolate M & M's are going to be the death of me. It's like eating a handful of chocolate chips, only the candy coating gives that satisfying crunch. They had them in a local convenience store. I thought they were a promotional item and I figured they probably wouldn't be around long. I was mostly right. Apparently they're here to stay (yay!) but it can be difficult to find a bag of dark chocolate M & M's sometimes. That is, until I discovered Staples, of all places, sells them...in large...purple...bags. *drool*

First the family needed some lined notebook paper. Then we were out of pencils. Printer cartridge ink? I can go get that!

Needless to say, I've been finding reasons I must go into Staples.

"Hmm...says here on my sheet I need fifteen copies of a hand-out for my research presentation. Shucks. I guess I'll have to go do that at Staples."

"You could print them off our computer," retorted the Mr.

"Nah, I dont want to use up that expensive printer ink."

"Uh-huh. Sure," he replied unconvinced.

"Mama, are you going to go get some more dark chocolate M & M's?" asked Ruthie.

"Um, why...no...what on earth would make you think that?"

Um, no. I'm not addicted, or anything. I can...stop...whenever...I...I...I...

Does anybody need anything from Staples?

I do! I do!! I love it! It's just like my chocolate from IKEA! I don't really know what we need from there right now, but I always return with Daims!!

Believe me when I say I know where you're coming from. But the new Hershey's Kissables are way better, and they make dark chocolate ones now. What you really need is a bag full of Ghiradelli dark chocolate chips.

Mmmmmm...Ghiradelli dark chocolate chips are the best...make the best cookies too! But I dont like the kissables. I've had the milk and I thought they were quite horrendous. It was the candy coating. I didnt like the way its flavor could over power the chocolate. However, I might be brave enough to try the dark chocolate kissables.
