Cloudy with a chance of chocolate

Today's chocolate selection is a special kind of awesome


I'm calling them Cloudy Bits. I have this grand plan to have an assortment- you pick the "bits". These particular morsels have hand chopped chocolate running through the chewy meringue inside. (I like hand chopped so that you have a variety of sizes which makes for varrying melting rates as you bite into it) Combine this heavenliness   with the lighter than air crisp outer shell and well it brings a tear to my eye. I fell in love with meringues in the shell/pavlova genre back when my grandma Koeck introduced me to them. Way back when before silicone mats- back when you had to cut your brown paper grocery bags to fit your cookie sheets. Those silly shells taught me patience. Nothing like telling a child they have to wait 4 hours before they can enjoy something they've made. Golly food makes me excited! Happy Chocolate Friday!

Ahh a classic!

Chocolate chip cookie cake!


Sometime in your life I am almost certain, you've had a piece of a chocolate chip cookie cake. 
Have you had one like this?
That's 12 inches around and an inch and a half thick of chewy chocolate goodness. 
This young man is an avid Bulldogs fan so.., 
Go Georgia Bulldogs! Happy Chocolate Friday!

Radio silence

So why was there no picture of happiness this past Friday? Because it finally got me- and by IT I mean the flu. I slept right through Friday. I promise I had a picture ready. 

Monkey see monkey eat monkey bars. This is seemingly not very chocolatey- yet it's full of hand chopped chocolate and drizzled with tempered smooth milk chocolate. What can I say, I speak chocolate. So I am up and at 'em again baking up a storm and all thanks to chocolate (and tamiflu).

First ever chocolate friday

As promised (be it a lot later than I was planning on posting today), a picture of chocolate. 
I wanted the first picture to appeal to everyone and since I don't know know everyone I thought I'd cover my bases. Come on....admit it.... First you saw it, then you mentally smelled it, next you tasted a memory, and finally you smiled. Don't worry it's normal- happens to me all the time. Have a great day and Happy Chocolate Friday!

Chocolate Friday on a Tuesday

Many years ago I was employed at a place that will never be dubbed "The happiest place on earth." I believe I was good at my job and those I worked with were all good at what they did as well. We weren't relatively looking forward to going into work each day, but we all came and we all plugged away. I liked who I worked with and knew something had to change- something had to lift our spirits. We got our checks on Thursdays so to motivate us into coming in and being happier on Fridays I started "Chocolate Fridays",  Every week on Friday I would bring something in to share.  Over time it evolved; It wasn't always chocolate and it wasn't always me who brought something.  Our morale was boosted on those Fridays.  For a good stint it turned into taco Fridays when we became almost obsessed with a little taco truck down the street.  Our boss even made sausage biscuit runs for us every once in a while. The point is this:  If change is needed, be the one to start down that path- and it never hurts to have some chocolate to smooth the way.  Seriously though- food speaks to everyone and even the thought of chocolate can cheer a person up.  That is why I have decided to post on here and share it on facebook a picture of something chocolate every Friday so that if you need a mental pick me up or know someone who could use a lift- just share the picture, close your eyes, and imagine smelling the baked goodness wafting through your memories! If you need something more tangible I am happy to help there too.  Does your office need a chocolate Friday? Think of what America would be like if everyone had goodies to share on Fridays!  So be looking out this Friday for the first ever Blessed lil Bakery Chocolate Friday!
