Cocoa Tree Invasion Beckons

smarties and peanut m&m's are my childhood faves - the cheap classics i call 'em. cocoa + nostalgia. then i could go on to two types of ferrero roche, the originals and noir which are best eaten chilled. but life's never complete without lindt lindors - i love all the flavours but my favourite would be the hazelnut or milk chocolate lindors. neuhaus serves as good cocoa therapy too...i love their cocoa-coffee mix shaped as coffee beans. it was a staple along our european drives from belgium to germany. and there was once i bought a few bars of fauchon chocolate in milk and dark variations. i opened them in my paris hotel room to just 'have a bite while channel surfing...well it disappeared from my hand in less than 5 minutes. for more sophisticated chocolate but not necessarily sophisticated consumption style - laduree dark chocolate 'slices' are heavenly. you wouldn't even care about their shop decor after stuffing your mouth with these! that's how good it was. and then coming back down to earth for good ol' suisse chocs, major supermarket chain co-op sells some damn good in-house brand chocs like branche and minor - both hazelnut based chocolates. nuts and/or praline with milk/dark chocolate are killer combis.

i need help with this addiction.
