Pickpick

Chocolate Wars by Deborah Cadbury was a fascinating read (the author is related to Cadbury family, but not the chocolate-making branch). Meticulously researched, this book talks about process of creating chocolate as we know it today, and Quacker values that were the foundation of the company. The author touches on Hershey and Mars companies as well. And finally we arrived to acquisition of Cadbury by Kraft. Five stars.

My niece is currently obsessed with Willy Wonka.
Thought I'd encourage this behaviour by getting her the book today.
Forever encouraging her inner bookworm to grow.
Also a great first introduction to Roald Dahl.

1. Nope
2. My first thought went to books focused around chocolate or yummy food

@Hooked_on_books I'm a bit ashamed at how much chocolate it is, but we have given some to my daughter's bestie to take home. The trip was part of my daughter's 14th birthday party.

Top left: bucket of chocolate covered gingerbread, "nougat bombs" (nougat filled gingerbread), three bags of chocolate covered raisins (500g each)

Top right: contents of the Surprise Box

Bottom: milk-chocolate with salted caramel (left), with salted almonds (right)⬇️

julesG The Surprise Box has lots of Christmas-y themed bars of chocolate this time. There's chocolate with Christmas biscuits, with spiced almonds, Christmas-y spices. But there's also Earl Grey chocolate, and dark chocolate filled with Gin&Tonic scented filling,.... 1mo

I know I‘m running late with this one, but I had a different idea. It will take some space, but I‘ve included a recipe for devil‘s food cake if you‘re interested. #LuckyInLove #Chocolate

½ cup (118 ml) whole milk
1 cup (236 ml) water

2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
⬇️ continue below⬇️

Littlewolf1 ingredients continued:
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar firmly packed
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour, 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar, 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt

¾ cup (190 g) sour cream

2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* Evenly divide batter into prepared baking pans and bake on 350F for 30-35 minutes or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with fudgy crumbs (preferred, as sometimes a clean toothpick can indicate the cake is overdone).
2mo
Littlewolf1 * Allow to cool in the baking pans for 15 minutes then run a knife along the edge to loosen it from the pan and carefully invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely (be careful, the pans will still be hot).

Desha Awesome Misty! 💗 2mo
CatLass007 @Eggs Is there an actual nut in there or is it peanut butter on its own? I‘ve always preferred peanut M&Ms. When I was in college, I was a green peanut M&M for Halloween at a dorm party. Oddly enough one of the guys in our co-ed dorm was a green plain M&M. I took pictures and my photo albums still haven‘t been unpacked. But my memory is still sharp and I see pictures of what happened in my mind. 2mo
julieclair Looking forward to starting this one this weekend! 2mo
