I Hear That Candy Calling

By

I inherited my father's love of sweets. I never met a chocolate I didn't like (chocolate covered grasshoppers may be the exception).

I love the heart shaped boxes. 😊

Heart shaped boxes filled with chocolates are not for everybody. While Carol loves chocolate she works very hard to maintain her figure so if I buy her a heart shaped box it best be the smallest one they make or I will be in trouble. Looking at the price of the box above I'd rather take her out to diner instead anyway.

Anyone wish to offer other suggestions?

I like chocolate, but it's currently not in my diet.  I'm not eating it or bread right now so that my clothes will fit better again.  Tammy has never liked chocolate

I have decided to start dieting this week Don Baker but I need to work up to my full blown diet. I will still be eating Valentines but Feb 15th I will hit it in earnest.

Chocolate is a common addiction and one that will never get cured.

That is right Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 . Just like alcohol one has to go totally without to concur it.

Hi Bob... while I love chocolate, chocolate candies are not my first choice and as I'm also always watching what I eat I don't appreciate gifts of chocolate candy. I save my calories for desserts I really like.

Temptation is always around me Nina Hollander, Broker because Timmothy always has to have snacks around. I need to start my diet now so I look good in shorts and a tank top for the summer.

Bob "RealMan" Timm I haven't worn shorts probably in some 50 years. As for tank tops, those were never in my wardrobe. Skinny jeans are a whole other matter!

Hello Bob,

Who can resist the gooey goodness of a decadent, melty treat? It's a one-way ticket to the heart, wrapped in shiny foil and love. Think of it as a love potion, but way tastier and without the weird bubbles!

Just beware, though, Bob. You might find yourself in chocolate negotiations if you don't share.

Well said Aura Alex . I've never turned down a box of chocolates and I've always shared... after I get 1st choice.

See's Candies are so darn good.  A small box but a special teaser.  And unfortunately as with everything else we can but shake our head at the prices.  m

Chocolate and egg prices do make us shake our heads today Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint-Idaho . Hopefully they will get bird flue under control soon.

Thanks, Bob "RealMan" Timm, for sharing your sweet traditions! Instead of the usual dinner or candy, how about planning a cozy movie marathon at home with all her favorite films and plenty of popcorn for a personal touch?

A movie would be a challenge Lew Corcoran as when Carol gets in front of a TV she nods off quickly. Popcorn makes the Timm family very happy.

Hi Bob- I have to admit, I'm picky about my chocolate. Good dark chocolate only and I treat myself to a small piece after dinner.

Carol loves the dark chocolate as well Kathy Streib . As far as those mixed boxes I kind of like the one (usually only one) with jelly in it. 😊
