Give it up for Lindt
Tuesday, May 24, 2011 at 04:44PM The fine folks at Lindt & Sprungli, Master Swiss Chocolatiers since 1845, cannot seem to do enough to tempt me.
If this continues I shall be forced to report them to Michelle Obama.
It all started when I began consuming the following product in what I believed to be a therapeutic dose, i.e. two squares per day:
Its mysterious duskiness is best when savored slowly and deliberately while doing something cerebral, such as working a just-difficult-enough crossword puzzle or reading Shakespeare's sonnets.
Eventually, when I went to the store prepared to pluck only my medicinal choccie from the shelf, my eye wandered.
It seems I lacked the wherewithal to be true to 90% Cocoa Supreme Dark.
The dalliance began innocently enough -- a novelty purchase, as it were -- with this:
And I tasted it and was instantly hooked. You nibble a corner and the chocolate is so smooth, just sweet enough, and then you get a largish grain of sea salt and it's like two parties in your mouth at one time.
Highly addictive. Be careful! You have been warned.
Then I allowed myself to be lured by this:
I actually resisted that one for a long time. Until the day it was cave in, buy it and try it, or find the nearest chapter of Chocoholics Amorous.
Hello, my name is Jenny and I'm a chocoholic. I thought I could quit whenever I wanted until I tried the Lindt Intense Orange bar.
In the end I opted for intense orange oblivion. I'm not sorry!
Finally, mesmerized by the prospect of tasting chocolate with heat, I tried this:
Uhm, yes, it is incredible. That is all I have to say on the subject.
Except, now I am unable to sleep unless I have all four kinds in the house at any given time.
Let's call a spade a spade! I'm a Lindt junkie.
TG brings the bars in all varieties to me constantly lest I run out, begin to suffer withdrawal, and become more intractable than usual.
What will be next? Cute pirate enrobed in semisweet chocolate?
I'm almost (but not quite) afraid to look.

Know what? I began reading your post But since I can not have chocolate, I had to stop reading it. -sigh- It hurts too much. Sorry...
~♥~
Chili???? Chili??? Hahahaaa.....
must'have missed that one.....Hahahaaaa
Takes one to know one.....
hughugs
Lindt is essential to life. My under-the-bed stash is incomplette without it. Although, Scharffenberger does an almond and sea salt bar that you would love. Also, a milk chocolate with cocoa nibs. Unfortunately, without a Grocery Outlet in your vicinity, you would be doomed to mortgaging your grand daughters to pay for it, so too bad for you!
'Course, the pirate in you could probably find a way around that little problem....
Darn you! Now you've made me hungry! I would LOVE to try the orange flavored one!
Now you are talking my language, chocolate. I buy the 90? sugarless for my hubby, melt carefully, ad just a bit of water, Splenda, and then divided it out into mouth sized bites. Healthy and tastes very good.
Oh my! we are sisters. When I was growing up my mother didn't allow chocolate except at Easter and that was a Jersey Milk. Now as she is crowding her 100th year, she's an addict, much like you and I. I didn't give her the chilli on yet, but soon maybe, she's even fallen out of her wheelchair in pursuit of a square. She did not injure herself. We've warned her nurse that she has this affliction and should not be left alone in the room with her chocolate, unless there is a square in her mouth. Enjoy sweet Jenny. I do.
I reckon I prolly shouldn't say this, but I have a bag of Lindt truffles in my work stash...just sayin'...
I am sure you have started a new trend in therapy, weather it be the mood altering bliss of good chocolate or the group session we have after over-indulging in our medication...
