rocher chocolates

If you know me well, you know that nothing makes me happier than chocolates, especially rocher chocolates. Ferro Rocher cholates. With the nut in the middle. Surrounded by chocolate. When I was younger, my mom would buy the 16 box ones only when they were on sale or if someone was coming back from Europe (they taste better in Europe for some reason).  And then all three of us (my sis mom and I…dad hates chocs) would savor them for about 2 weeks. Opening the box and eating them one at a time and really really slowly as if they were made of gold.

well, the problem with the 3 pack ones is that…well, its only 3 of them. And so readily available in the cafeteria downstairs. And so I’ve been eating them, almost religiously, everyday for the past couple of months.  Most of my ‘grocery money’ has been spent on chocolates. They are still as delicious as when I was a kid. And no, having them everyday has not made the magic go away. But I also realise that a whole in the wallet coupled with an expanding waistline is not the way to go. I need to cut this habit out or at least reduce it the same way I’ve been trying to reduce my expensive Starbucks habit (it actually has its own entry in my budget!)

sigh.
