Chocolate bon bons


After 35 years of living I don't know why I love chocolate so much, it's just a natural passion. Something I dream about, yes I dream of Hershey's chocolate, doesn't everyone?
Milk chocolate, white and dark chocolate it doesn't matter. If I were able to swim in a pool of milk chocolate I think I would. The creamy delicious taste of cocoa hmmmm. is good for eating, beauty products and more. Hershey should come out with a Milk chocolate room spray. OMG talk about walking into heaven!
Did you know that there is a whole history about this creamy stuff. Just click on the link below for info I bet you never knew of. http://www.fieldmuseum.org/Chocolate/history_european.html
