{Girl Party}

What is it about chocolate? That's so divine....so addicting....so satisfying? Especially See's Candies chocolate. There's just nothing like it. Ever since I can remember See's was the best of the best. My mom would get me one the their HUGE bordeaux eggs every Easter and I'd just about make myself ill trying to finish it. Not that I felt I HAD to finish it, because there's plenty of times I discarded half eaten candy. With the See's candy I wanted to finish and a stomachache wasn't going to deter me. It was just SOOO delicious I had to enjoy every morsel. Now, 30 (or so) years later, the ritual hasn't changed. In fact, I've passed it on to my children!
This is how Lauren & I have a girl party. We get several select pieces of said See's candy and we split each one in half and we share! This way you get to taste twice as many flavors but eat only a few pieces in all. Here we've got a milk chocolate butterchew, mocha cream, divinity puff, scotchmallow (we had 2 of these but one's mysteriously missing from the photo), bordeaux, butterscotch caramel and 2 polar bear paws. Add a glass of ice cold milk to this equation and you've got a couple of happy girls!

The scotchmallow is my personal favorite. It's a layer of chewy caramel topped with a layer of marshmallow and it's all dipped in dark chocolate. Now I'm no die hard dark chocolate fan, but in this instance it's the only way to go. It's the perfect combination :)

Thanks, Lauren, for hangin' out with your mom and sharing these delectable treats with me! Two of my favorite things in one sitting....SWEET!
