Milkinis Chocolate

 

 

 

 

Chris and I often get chocolate cravings, especially at night.

I know, I know, it's so bad for you to eat in the evening,

but sometimes you just need to satisfy those cravings!

So this little beauty caught my eye.

The brand is Milka, and on the package it said

"Europe's favorite chocolate"

So I figured, what the heck, I'll try it.

 

 

 

 

It comes with 8 individual bars, 4 squares per bar.

I love how they are individually wrapped.

It helps keep them fresh if you only want a little here and there.

These were absolutely divine. So much so,

when Chris wanted some, I got a bit cranky about it...

(sorry honey!)

But they were that good!

They are chocolate squares with this smooth cream in the middle,

almost like kinder chocolate.

 

 

I did a little research on them, and it is Swiss chocolate,

which explains why I loved it so much,

Swiss chocolate is my favorite chocolate,

by far!

This brand makes other kinds as well.

Some other kinds are chocolate with,

almonds, hazelnuts, and toffee crunch.

If you ever come across this I highly recommend you try it.

I promise you will not regret it!

I found this at the commissary, on base,

but I was reading that you can find them at walmart as well!

 

 

Kalahari & The Candy Shack

When Chris and I were in Erie, Pa we realized that we were so close to the number one water park in the US, which is Kalahari in Ohio. We decided, we are so close, and out so why not? :P It was very luxurious, because we booked a day before doing they only had this apartment style room available and we took it because we didn't want to drive all the way there and not be able to get into the water park, plus if you stay with them, the price of the water park is included, and they book up really fast. This was the first time I suppose you can say I stayed at a resort. Though I absolutely love water slides, my favorite part was the hot tube that went outside. There is something so relaxing about the steaming hot water, but feeling the cold breeze of a February wind. :p Another great thing about the hot tube, was it had a swim up bar, that was pretty bad ass, it is also relaxing sipping on a strawberry daiquiri in a hot tube.

 

 We had to get some treats while there from their Candy Shack and they were amazing!

 

We got a piece of blueberry fudge, a piece of red velvet fudge, two caramel melts two cake batter bites, that basically tasted like cookie dough, nonetheless still delicious, and two peanut butter cups.

We also had to do two classic caramel apples. I had forgotten how amazing these were! They had crazy flavors too, some with caramel and nuts, cookies and cream, dark chocolate, and all sorts, but sometimes you have to go with the classic! We spent 30 on all of this, and no shame we were on vacation, that's why I have been doing the detox, and getting back into exercise mode! :D

 

 

 

Discounted Valentines Day Candy!

What is the absolute best part of valentines day?!

DISCOUNTED CANDY AND CHOCOLATE!

 

OH YEAH!

I seriously hate valentines day, I don't get it. Why is it that this one day of the year you have to show your significant other you love them? Shouldn't you be doing this every day of the year? Also I hate reading on social medias, the single awareness day shit. You can't tell me, you want to be alone and have no one, as well as you wouldn't be happy if someone thought about you and got you something. Anywho, well Chris and I were both contemplating getting each other something, but then neither one of us did because we didn't want to make the other feel bad like we were "out-doing" one another. So silly.  Well why buy chocolate and candy before or on the 14th, when you can wait a couple days and get it for 50% off? Haha yeah we aren't cheap, if we want things we will buy it, but my philosophy with the candy/chocolate is why not if it's on sale or why not with anything when it's on sale? Obviously it's on sale because the store wants to get rid of it and move it out, right?

And.... well... I suppose... I love chocolate, candy, cookies, and anything sweet.  *slowly bows head* It is my weakness. I had a weak moment when I was going through my weight loss, it's embarrassing to admit, but I had a lose control moment. I ended up eating a whole bag of candy corn and like a dozen cookies.... I know horrible, and I gained like 10 lbs back after that..... well since then I have learned my lesson. When that happened, I hadn't had anything sweet for exactly four months, and then when I re introduced myself to them I went nuts! So now, I continue to eat sweets but in moderation. If I totally tried cutting them again, then I would flip and go crazy like that again...
