Mother’s Day my children sent me a box of Chocolates that I can not buy in Florida called “Fannie May!” My all time favorite is one called : Trinidad by Fannie May. I had the pleasure of eating a large Trinidad and have been enjoying a nice box of Mint Meltaway’s as well. The mint ones come in green and brown chunks of chocolate with each one tasting better then the last. It was a real treat having these chocolates which made my Mother’s Day even more special because they purchased them in Chicago while we were there for my Grandmother’s memorial service. How lucky I am to have children that were thinking of me during that difficult time.
How lucky I am to have children that took time out from their China Town visit to stop by Fannie May and pick me up some Chocolates!

This chocolate pizza sure looks yummy!
Wondering what it tastes like?
The crust looks interesting so I must say I have my doubts but I would be willing to try it!
Would you try it?

CHOCOLATE CHRISTMAS

Twas the night before Christmas and all round my hips
Were Fannie May candies that sneaked past my lips.
Fudge brownies were stored in the freezer with care,
In hopes that my thighs would forget they were there.

While Mama in her girdle and I in chin straps
Had just settled down to sugar-borne naps.
When out in the pantry there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the kitchen I flew like a flash,
Tore open the icebox then threw up the sash.
The marshmallow look of the new-fallen snow
Sent thoughts of a binge to my body below.

When what to my wandering eyes should appear:
A marzipan Santa with eight chocolate reindeer!
That huge chunk of candy so luscious and slick
I knew in a second that I’d wind up sick.

The sweet-coated Santa, those sugared reindeer,
I closed my eyes tightly but still I could hear;
On Pritzker, on Stillman, on weak one, on TOPS
A Weight Watcher dropout from sugar detox.

From the top of the scales to the top of the hall
Now dash away pounds; now dash away all.
Dressed up in Lane Bryant from my head to nightdress
My clothes were all bulging from too much excess.

My droll little mouth and my round little belly
They shook when I laughed like a bowl full of jelly.
I spoke not a word but went straight to my work
Ate all of the candy then turned with a jerk.

And laying a finger beside my heartburn
Gave a quick nod toward the bedroom I turned.
I eased into bed, to the heavens I cry
If temptation’s removed I’ll get thin by and by.

And I mumbled again as I turned for the night
“In the morning I’ll starve…
’til I take that first bite!”
