CHOCOLATE MADNESS
Fox's U-bet Original Chocolate Flavor Syrup
Chocolate milkshake, anyone? Chocolate egg cream? If you've ever wondered
why your favorite soda fountain treats never taste the same at home as they
do from your favorite small-town proprietor, here's why; to make authentic
fountain treats, you need this Brooklyn-born delight...not the stuff that
hails from Pennsylvania.
Fox's U-Bet Chocolate Syrup is so legendary amongst soda-fountain
aficionados, we'll bet it was used at the malt shop where your grandparents
met, and is the stuff your crazy Uncle Fred used to create chocolaty magic
back when worked as a soda jerk in high school. Pssst! It's also Kosher and
Fat-Free. (Careful though, it's still 120 calories per 2 tablespoon
serving.)
Pillsbury Chocolate Chip Cookies--8oz. Trial Size
Got a cookie craving but don't want a whole batch? We exclaimed with glee
when our Webmaster showed us this adorable trial-size roll of our favorite
emergency cookie dough. A squat 8 ounces, it contains just the right amount
of dough for 8 chocolate chip cookies--or 4 ice cream cookie sandwiches, if
that's what you have up your sleeve--and will fit in even the tiniest of
freezers or ice chests. Like it raw? Crack it open and share with a friend.
It's just the right amount, and you won't hate yourself so much in the
morning. Available at supermarkets; we got ours at Vons in Burbank.

M&Ms Dark Chocolate Peanut Candies (Also available Plain)
It took some doing to find these in our neck of the woods, but it was worth
the wait for these jewel- toned, Darth Vader-themed galactic versions of our
favorite junk food candy. Encased in dark hues of blue, burgundy, grey, and
of course black, is M&M's familiar roasted peanut...wrapped this time in
dark chocolate. For newbies to the dark side, fear not...it's not the bitter
kind of dark chocolate so many of us aficionados seek out. Our webmaster
nukes them in the microwave for 45 seconds (in 5 second intervals) to get
'em good 'n' gooey, eating with extreme caution to avoid what could be one
heck of a burn on the roof of the mouth. We'll get our danger elsewhere,
thanks; atop vanilla ice cream is where we like our M&Ms best. Available
many places M&Ms are sold, but sometimes not...A neighbor finally found ours
at Toys R Us.
