When I create my recipes I dont always follow these guidelines and the recipes I post are the ones Kirby has approved. Often times I just play around with different ingredients until I hit the com...

Nothing tastes sweeter than chocolate, especially the dark chocolate. Chocolate candy, chocolate ice cream, chocolate chip cookies, fudge brownies, chocolate milk, hot chocolate, ok so I could keep going but I'm sure you get my drift.
