Happy Christmas Eve!

I think this is what Tim's shopping cart looked like yesterday because it looks like a chocolate factory exploded in our kitchen last night.

I got home late after some last minute Christmas shopping.  Tim and the kids had been in a chocolate dipping mood and were finishing up some gifts for neighbors and friends.  (Thank you, by the way.)

Here are a few of the things that I found dipped in chocolate:  pretzels, Oreos, piroulines, cinnamon bears (a 5 lb. bag!)...

And a few of the stranger items... marshmallows (I had one, they're not too bad), and fig newtons.  Yes, fig newtons dipped in chocolate.  In our kitchen.  While they were gifting things to neighbors...  I was scared.

This morning I mentioned the chocolate party in the kitchen while Tim was leaving to work.  Knowing I probably saw the fig newtons, he said,  "The fig newtons didn't work out.  We didn't give those to the neighbors."  (Whew!)

I also heard something about chocolate dipped spicy Cheetos...?  

Can we all just agree that some things shouldn't be dipped in chocolate?  

This post will one day be known as "The Chocolate Explosion of 2013".  

Stay tuned.  If you're nice we'll give you chocolate dipped bacon in 2014.  : )
