The problem with cheap chocolate

I had a brilliant idea to give little Easter baskets to my babysitter’s daughters. Of course, by the time I got to Target, their dollar bins were cleaned out. And since I’m cheap, I ended up with two adorable pastel buckets and two bags of chocolate eggs.

The cheap kind of chocolate eggs. I'm talking 2 for $2.

And the problem? Well, the problem began when I had to do a little quality control – you know, taste test the product to make sure it was suitable for children.

I decided it was not, in fact, suitable for children, especially if said children were only getting a mini bucket of candy and no actual little gifts.

Fortunately, I know how to solve that problem, and now one bag of chocolate eggs is empty.

Because the problem with cheap chocolate is that the flavor is so weak that you need to eat a dozen pieces to satisfy that holiday candy craving.

I think from now on, I’m going to stick to Chelley’s strategy and only buy Dove.

What’s your favorite kind of chocolate?
