As some of you may know, I have a bit of a sweet tooth, especially when it comes to chocolate

There is one type in particular which Aldi sells but some nitwit over there decided it is a seasonal item, so I can only get them 2, 3 weeks out of the year

I've been checking the shelves for 2 months now and last week they hit

Without hesitation I grabbed 2 cases of them thinking it should see me through till Christmas 2022

Alas, within a week BOTH my girls cut on to me and started eating my stash

I'm afraid I won't make it even to Easter

I have a weakness for black jaw breakers. And like you they just kept disappearing, so I purchased a coin operated gum ball machine. Set it up for two for a nickel. Always have jaw breakers now and cash to buy more, win, win
 
I just ordered 2 lbs of fudge from the Fudge shop down at the beach in NJ. It isn't cheap though about $25 a pound shipped...:)
 
My greatest sweet weakness is Chocolate Chip Cookies (CCCs). I make the best CCCs you've ever had. My wife is a great cook, but she leaves cookies to me. Still warm out of the oven.... YUM!

That does sound good. How do you add the peanut?

Once you mix the Chocolate Fudge brownie mix, spoon it in... you can add big dollops, or warm it , and decoratively blend it. I like it Chunky! Not sure if it's from the Peanut butter, or the Ladies, but, if Ya don't junk out on em, they stay moist for up to a week. Usually get the mix ( they have name brand, Betty is one, but her storage bowls are Chinese, I use Rubbermaid, but not for the brownies, they get covered, and left on the counter top) from Dollar General...

Brother, I like the corners, cause they are a Lil, Caint really describe it, slightly Crusted? But, they don't last long, I had a nice, 2.5" deep, maybe 8x10 metal pan w/ a sliding lid. Could cook a double of jiffy mix in there.. w/ jalapeños...
 
What you need to do is go on craigslist and find a beat to hell toolbox, that is dirty and greasy. stash your chocolates in that. Girls are not likely to look in a dirty toolbox for chocolate.

Me too. I found this awesome brownie pan. It looks kind of like a muffin tin, but instead of 12 round indentations, there are 12 rectangular indentations. That way almost every bite has a crunch edge.

Get a tube of those Pillsbury Cinnamon rolls (or orange or any other kind), lightly spray the waffle iron with some cooking oil, put a few of the rolls in there, close the lid and cook just like a waffle. In just a few minutes you have delicious, waffle looking cinnamon rolls. We do that a lot in the RV. We also do french toast in the waffle iron. It is super fast, tastes great and is a super easy cleanup.
