And I keep them in a canister on the counter. We teach adding and re-enforce good behavior with my M&M and Chocolate chip canister...<br /><br />And every now and again my hand sneaks in. ;)<br /><br /><br />Teeena, I'm hoping to make sponge candy this weekend. I owe two people in Seekerville and I want some to bribe my children not to quarrel over the holiday weekend.<br /><br />Whatever it takes!<br /><br />Beth hates this with pineapple. You can make it without, you just.... umm.... leave it out, LOL!<br /><br />So for her, we don't add the fruit. But I love the pineapple, chocolate mix. Divine.

Chocolate chips, though--that goes without saying.<br /><br />Jan, I don't keep chocolate chips for (ahem) emergencies. Not when I can keep a full bar of organic fair-trade dark chocolate in a kitchen drawer. Just one square can turn a day around.<br /><br />Best part? Hubby won't eat dark chocolate, so it's always right where I left it.Valerie Comerhttp://valeriecomer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-78641006431997230252011-11-15T11:24:36.417-05:002011-11-15T11:24:36.417-05:00Good idea, Tina!

I'll have to pass this recipe along to her.<br /><br />Me? I love chocolate. Especially Ghiradelli 60% chips (I keep a 3# bag in my pantry at all times.) (For emergencies.) - but I've never turned that corner of enjoying fruit and chocolate combined.<br /><br />Fruit? - oh yeah. Nice, fresh fruit anytime.<br /><br />Chocolate? - of course. Goes without sayin'.<br /><br />Combination? I'll leave that to my dear daughter. She has to buy her own chocolate, though.Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.com
