Antidote Chocolate Review and our February Hatefest!

My Dear Sillies,

Time for a chocolate review. This Antidote chocolate, tagged "chocolate that loves you back", contains anise seeds and sun-dried tomato. Hmm, interesting. Would you try it?

Well, I did, and I did it for YOU. The bar's 70 percent cacao and relatively low in sugar (24 grams). Marketed as "artisan" and made in Ecuador, one Antidote bar will cost you approximately 12 USD. 

I lucked out! I hadn't noticed the price, and there wasn't a price on it. The lovely checker decided to charge me $4.99. Woohoo. 

My critique? Well, it tasted sour and plastic-y at first. But I enjoyed a sweet and smooth aftertaste. The anise and tomato don't over power the candy; it's a well blended mix. So, yeah, decent. Yet I still find it outrageously priced, unless you're lucky like me. 

All in all, I didn't love it. It didn't love me back. 

I'll give it a 6 out of 10.

NEXT: It's February. We know what that means. Get your creative juices flowing for Life by Chocolate's annual Valentine's Hatefest.

Mike's a Winner! Valentine's Erotica

Dear Sillies,

Congratulations to Mike for his winning haiku at Life by Chocolate's Annual VDay Hate Fest! WOOHOO! See last post for his clever entry.  I'll be in touch with you, horny old goat* (credit to DebraSheWhoSeeks for this term). You'll soon receive a sweet, sweet package in the mail. 

Joanne's a winner too! She always is. Plus she followed the rules for haiku. 

It wasn't an easy vote. For some reason, though, it seemed my male bloggies were fast to give a nod to Mike's mathematical entry. Go figure. 

Now, my sweets, let's focus on the love that truly sustains us...love for each other, love that leaps out from our chosen or biological families, love for our wonderful selves, love for kindness and beauty and nature and humor and chocolate that's fair trade not Hershey's waxy yucky stuff that enslaves children to make a fast billion.

Back on point, you are very much loved.

It's February, and You Know What That Means!
