Not Just Any Old Ice Cream Sandwich

Valentine's Day traditionally generates gifts of sweet chocolate.

Carolyn happens to be a loving chocolate connoisseur who knows what to do with a plain bar of chocolate, or even a simple chocolate ice cream sandwich. 

A coating of creamy peanut butter, a bed of juicy sweet peaches, and an artful swirl of chocolate sauce on top makes for a dessert treat worthy of the Ritz.

And Carolyn would be happy to make one for you.

Does this treat appeal to you?

What's your favorite feel-good food?

Would You Eat This?

I found this elegant chocolate confection for sale.  

(Check out the fancy name! There's even an apostrophe in it!) 

As I studied the treat that cost more than a giant sized candy bar, I wondered what the appeal was. A dried apple ring, okay, I've managed to chew down a piece or two of dried apple in my life. It would give the treat staying power, for sure, but what about the dried oranges, including a petrified rind as hard as old leather? I would not choose to try eating that.

And what's with the flower petals scattered down the middle? I admit that I eat flowers: broccoli flowers and cauliflower flowers (rock on, redundancy!) but I have no desire to eat random flower petals of questionable food grade.

I can't help wondering who thinks of these things.

Did the inventor of this questionable confection even taste it before putting it in a pretty box on the shelf?

Do you understand this candy?

Would you eat it?
