Chocolate Tastings, In Her Majesty's (Not you, HRH) Memory

Dear Sillies,
For your sake, and in memory of the dearly departed Queen Elizabeth II, I've sampled some chocolate.

   Doesn't it feel as though the world's lost its loving, tough-as-nails Grandma? What a peach she was! And Queen Elizabeth II loved her chocolate. She was smart, after all. Her all-time favorite chocolate was Bendicks Bittermints, a minty fondant covered in 95% dark chocolate. Woowee. 

   If anyone gets ahold of this precious item (even you, HRH), do contact me. I will then bribe you to send one my way and will reward you profusely (even you, HRH).

Sorry to take things ugly now, but what the heck happened to Count Chocula? Look at his "x" eyes, and his Bugs Bunny teeth. 

   As per my sweetheart of 15 months now (I know, poor guy!), JT, this cereal is "okay" but "they skimped on the marshmallows." Also, what's with Count Chocula's hair? And what the heck are those gray puffy things on the sides of his head? Yikes.

   I can only give this cereal a 4, because the Count has devolved way too far. Count Chocula's enticingly dangerous charm is nowhere to be found. 

   I'm now sipping a nice warm cup of Numi's Chocolate Rooibos organic tea. It's pretty good - rich, earthy, with hints of dark cocoa. I actually added peppermint tea to it, which improved the taste. It needs something, perhaps a bit of honey or brown sugar otherwise. I do recommend it, and I give this an 8 on a 1-10 scale.  

Keep sweet thoughts and items in your life, daily.

Love you, my Sillies.
