What Do We Really Crave?
I love sugar. Brownies, mint chip ice cream, chocolate pot de crème, key lime pie, Snickers. I heard Charles Duhigg, a business reporter for the NY Times, talking about his book, The Power of Habit. Part of the research was personal. He was trying to understand his craving for cookies. What Duhigg came to realize was what he really wanted, when he left his desk each afternoon for a sweet snack at the cafeteria, was company.
I’m here to say, what I really want is the cookie.

I hear ya. It’s Lindt 70% dark chocolate for me.
Love Lindt. It’s a staple in my pantry.
I am completely addicted to Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolates! Can’t pass them in the grocery check-out line without reaching for them 🙂
