Bear Paws by RoxanneHey Shari!
I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one with a secret stash!!
I remember telling my mom that it is pretty sad when I have to sneek a candy bar into the bathroom without my kids big sad cow eyes 
looking up at me trying to make me feel guilty. But of course it always worked 
Posts: 1,277mmmm...cheesecake!
This is my all-time favorite. And my fiancee's. In fact, he just asked me yesterday to make one. Except I was too lazy to go to the store for missing ingredients. :lol:
I have something to tell you all but I'm scared. I so enjoy this forum but I think you all might decide to kick me out if I tell. :(
Okay, here goes (me being brave right now)...
I don't like chocolate.
What?????!!!!!?????
Oh Shelli! That babies face and your exclamation after Sandi's post is priceless!! :)
Warmest hugs, :hug:
Aleta
My dear Sandi,
How does one NOT like chocolate? Surely there must be some mistake! Have you tried milk chocolate (not my personal favorite), dark chocolate, white chocolate, chocolate with raspberry, chocolate covered cherries, grand marnier truffles, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate fudge sauce, chocolate ice cream, hot chocolate...........???? Nothing, huh? You poor dear!
Has anyone tried the chocolates from Target? You know the one's......they're advertising Choxie like mad here on the west coast. They're yummy, yummy, good! The bears ate a whole box of them today! heehee
Sticky chocolate fingers typing, :)
Aleta
that's ok Sandi - that just means all the more chocolate for everyone else on the forum!! So really, you could say you are merely helping everyone else here!!!
DoodlebearsSandie you're a brave girl admitting to that one here on teddy Talk...don't worry my friend we will see you get the counseling that you obviously need! 
Have you ever tried Cadbury's chocolate.........YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you don't like Cadbury's chocolate then there is NO hope for you in the chocky world. :wacko:
Shelli Just love that picture!
Jane 
Nova Scotia,CanadaHey Shelli,love the picture ,looks like my neice

I don't like Cadbury chocolate! French chocolate is much tasty (sorry to disappoint you about that). We've got lots of choice there: Nestlé, Poulain... I love too Swiss cholcolate Lindt. Of course, Belgian chocolate is definitely the best ever...
The Cadbury chocolate i have tried in England had far too much sugar :(...
Impossible to find good chocolate when I was in England. They did not even had my favourite chocolate powder "Poulain Grand Arome" I drink every morning with my milk. So i had to bring it from France.
Almost all the chocolate powders I found in England were already containing some powdery milk and always too much sugar. They had Nesquick but this was not my favourite (again too much sugar). Not any good enough. So disappointing. :mad:
Out of food, I loved England...
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
Rufnut Teddy'sYummy, thanks for the recipe Deb
Upstate New YorkShari ~
I thought I saw a recipe for brownie bottom cheesecake squares at www.msn.com the other day. Check there ... that's where the chocolate is I think!
Posts: 1,277I made a brownie bottom cheesecake once. Everyone else loved it, but I just stuck with the plain one.
Okay, I do like chocolate ice cream. Actually I really like that. And if I make choc. chip cookies I can eat one. My fiancee loves chocolate. He's always making me try stuff. He's from Europe so he doesn't like hersheys and things here in US, but whenever his mom comes she brings a whole grocery bag full of chocolate bars and candies and cookies. He'll eat that stuff for breakfast. But I don't like any of the "good chocolate" (as he calls it) either.
I don't know what's wrong with me. 
Bears-a-Bruin!Ooooh Deb, thankyou! :dance: :hug:
Hubby will wonder what's happening to me....I'm sure it's the cold weather and dark nights....I feel compelled to stuff calories down me! I will definitely be trying these cheesecake cupcakes sometime soon, and will keep you posted.
Sandi, don't worry, you're not alone. My brother-in-law detests chocolate. In fact he doesn't have a sweet tooth at all. It's a strange concept to me...but it leaves more for the rest of us!
Sophie, most of our chocolate powder in the UK has milk powder and sugar added. It's called drinking powder, whereas 'cocoa' has the better chocolate content and is what i usually buy for baking etc. Maybe that still not chocolate-y enough though. I have seen the higher chocolate content powder on sale in our local supermarket, so there is surely demand for it! Yum yum!
Sophie Z'OursSandi, we cannot all have the same tastes!!!
Talking about chocolates things, I have just prepared some chocolate porridge with some oats I have just bought at the bio cooperative. Of course I added my favourite chocolate powder. It looks yummy but I have to wait a moment to have it a little less hot!!! Yesterday evening, my sweetheart had for dessert a huge bowl of chocolate porridge (he used almost 1 L of milk!!!). So he finished our stock of oats... :(.
Actually, I do prefer replacing oats with wheat semolina... and I often add a bit of vanilla flavour.
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
PS: Very kind of you girls to give recipes!!!
Sophie Z'OursFinally, oats are as tasty as wheat semolina when they are good quality! My porridge is delicious! Maybe i should hide it to get sure my sweetheart won't finish it before I have time to eat more :P!!!
Yummy yummy!
Well, i should be careful, though, not to take back the weigh I managed to loose these last months... but has anyone ever said that chocolate or porridge could be bad for our health 
? I don't think so. Good food cannot be bad for us, as true as good is the contrary of bad 
.
So let's eat MORE CHOCOLATE (well, sandi, there must be something you must like at least as much as we are crazy about chocolate!)! Why should we feel guilty after all. I was hungry, so I hate chocolate porridge...
Beary hugs,
Sophie.
UKI don't like chocolate.
:doh:
hehehe
Past Time BearsSandi . . . really - it's okay and we still love you! But think you're mad as a hatter!! No, not really - just - ummm - different . . . well, no - ummm - well - shoot, what's wrong with you, girl???!!! I'm kidding! My sister isn't a chocoholic either . . . I think they must have switched her in the delivery room!
Aleta . . . I have discovered Choxie at Target and can't get enough of that heavenly stuff! I am a confessed chocolate sneaker/hider . . . I gave my hubster one plastic container of Choxie espresso beans and myself three containers (all with dark chocolate) and didn't share with him. (I don't like coffee, so didn't need to have any of his.) Mine were the peppermint shortbread, cinnamon, and raspberry . . . soooooo yummy!
I like chocolate, but can't eat it right now..... Anything too sweet makes my stomach hurt. My sweetest thing I eat now is apples. I'm hoping after the baby, I will be able to eat the yummy chocolate!!!
Posts: 1,277Oh, that's too bad Kirsten. I always drink a big 'ol glass of milk first thing in the morning, but after I got pregnant I got the most horrible stomach pains if I drank it before any food. Even three years later, I still have trouble with it. Darn kids!
Sophie - European chocolate is the best....I love Lindt too especially the balls with the wonderfully melty middles...mmm I want one right now! Ooh and those Belgian chocolates um Cote D'or (yes I know its a place but is it also a type of chocolate??) are soo fantastic. In my home city, we have a wonderful chocolate shop owned by a Belgian family. The father used to be the choclatier to the Belgian King and they make the most fantastic handmade artisan chocolates. Luckily the fancy department store here has a choclate shop and you can buy them but ouch they hurt the pocket. My favourite is one that has a freeze-dried blackberry enrobed in a rich chocolate shell. YUM!
Cadbury's is different wherever you go in the world - you are totally right - European Cadbury's has a high milk powder content, and it has a "rough" feel on the palatte - by contrast European chocolate is much more refined and has a "smooth" feel on the palatte. Even between Australia and New Zealand Cadbury's have totally different flavours...and we have completely different flavours to the UK.
I will forego the chocolate porridge - yeugh porridge - I had to eat it every day for the first 13 years of my life and along with margarine consider it to be the most evil food on the face of the earth!! Every couple of years I buy some and try and eat it cos I know its good for me but I have come to the conclusion that porridge not for me!
oh and check out this blog if you like candy - even though I cant get half the stuff here I am still compelled to read it!
