World Chocolate Day

Yep, you read that right.  There's an entire day dedicated to chocolate.  It seems like there's a day dedicated to every trivial food, relationship, and thing in existence, but I'll be damned if I have something negative to say about World Chocolate Day.

Scrolling through my phone, I expected to see hundreds of photos of chocolate desserts that I've enjoyed in Houston and during my travels.  I'm a little disappointed to say that I only found a handful...shame on me.  I eat way more chocolate than that, but I still have a good collection.

Here are a few of my favorite chocolatey treats -- Let me know your favorite chocolate dessert so I can add it to my list of indulgence!

Lee's Fried Chicken & Donuts: Any chocolate donut on the menu.  Why can't donuts be part of the food pyramid?

Sprinkles: Dark Chocolate Cupcake with Vanilla Ice Cream
Sprinkles Ice Cream Sandwich
Tout Suite: COOOOOOKIES.  Looking at this photo makes me drool.  We had all of these cookies at a Sugar & Cloth event and I couldn't stop paying a visit to the table.  Chocolate chip is by far my favorite.
National Chocolate Day Cookies
Starbucks: Chocolate Chip Cookie and Chocolate Brownie.  If you've ignored the temptation that lives inside the Starbucks glass cabinet, you're missing out.  Treat yoself and try their cookie or brownie warmed up.

 Tout Suite: Chocolate Croissant.  My favorite.  Get it warmed up for about a minute and watch the chocolate ooze from the delicious, buttery croissant.  The middle bite is by far the best, so snag it for yourself!
