You know what is incredible? The ingenuity and imagination that complete desperation can bring about.
For instance, my chocolate situation.
In truth, I’m not remotely limited in what I have on hand…I’m a choco-holic, so being without is just NOT AN OPTION. But I will admit, I don’t have much that appeals to me…a lot of random odds and ends…including unfinished bars, older chocolate pieces, and way way way older pieces.
So I did a bit of an experiment…
I took all the random odds and ends and melted them together…filling in the gaps with extra chocolate chips as needed.
I helped smooth things out with a knife as it melted, and then I plopped chocolate covered marshmallows evenly throughout the top.
Finally, I topped it with coarse sea salt…and put it in the fridge until later that night.
The verdict: OH WOW.
I did myself proud with this one.
And I even managed to make it last FIVE WHOLE NIGHTS.
So that was great, but now I’m going to go through withdrawal again.
Back to the pantry I go!?!
I know you’re not a big fan of going to the stores but could you get some deliveries?? I know most brands are offering free no-contact deliveries. For example we have a chocolate factory (Abdallah’s – https://www.abdallahcandies.com/) here in the town I live in and their chocolates are delicious and while their retail shop is still open for pick-up many people are getting their delivered so that they don’t have to interact with others … maybe you could do the same with your fav chocolate shop!!
I have looked into SO many options – ginger elizabeth is local but they are only delivering to sac. And amazon and walmart and target dont really have what I want or are too pricey (like I don’t want to order $72 worth of endangered species variety pack) or I feel is wasteful since I’m not ordering other stuff at the same time that I “need” you know?? See’s isn’t even doing online orders like they normally do! Ugh. I’m just hoping things resolve and I can get back to normal before my sweet tooth revolts on me.
