Sweet Chocolate Models

Sweet chocolate models! Ah yes, a really chocolateee enticing title for a very flavoursome blog post, chocolate models or what! Well, I do declare! My last post My Favourite Chocolate Things, went over some of the things I simply adore about chocolate, so this post can be no less attractive and yummy!

Sweet, sweet chocolate models for making sweet, sweet chocolate things are definitely the order of the day. So what can we make from our hard and fast moulds that will morph into something that can cause orgasms of flavour to expel forth from their hearty encapsulations.

We want chocolate! Models are for making the nice sweet things and all we then need are sensuous lips to savour the pure ecstatic texture and probing tongues to sample the exquisite taste of the finished product. If this sounds like a ramble into the world of chocoholicism then by all means it really must be! I love a good ramble and when chocolate is involved, there can be nothing finer or more desirable!

Well, I've already expounded the virtues of the delectable Mars Bar, so now I'm going to heap praise on that other taste temptation, the humble Snickers. Did you know that the Snickers bar used to be called a Marathon bar in England? That was back sometime in the 1970s, I believe - way before my time, well maybe not but before I was probably old enough to appreciate what a delicious treat the Snickers Bar actually is.

Did you also know that Mars (the company) used to sponsor the London marathon? And its main promotional chocolate bar was actually the "Marathon". In fact their play on words in their ads was to call the London Marathon the "Mars Marathon", which in those days it actually was!

I don't know why they changed the name to Snickers - except probably that's what it has always been called in the USA and little England just had to bow down, roll over and play dead to the might of the USA! Well, probably not as dramatic as that, but why things have to change just for the the sake of change? Like Mars used to have those chocolate peanuts called Treets. there were also Toffee Treets as well. But they changed them to M&Ms. The Toffee Treets were discontinued. And what about Opal Mints? Where did they go?

Oh, I'm getting off track and away from my chocolate models monologue. Back to the virtues of the Snickers bar, I think...

Ok, its not as sumptuous as the Mars Bar, but its has that great peanutty taste that complements chocolate so well. So my vote for this post goes to the Snickers (aka Marathon)!

Yay!

Bye for now...

My Favourite Chocolate Things

Right, lets get this show on the road. After my first post Hot Chocolate Models, introduced this little old blog that's all about chocolate - the stuff you eat and not the other sort of chocolate model, I'll go looking at some of my favourite chocolate things...

I'm going to go straight for the jugular here and mention one of my all-time favourite chocolate bars that has sustained my addiction since childhood - and that the Mars Bar!

I know a lot of people find the Mars Bar to be very sweet and almost sickly - but I love 'em to death. In fact they will probably be the death of me ROFL!!! I don't find them sickly at all, in fact where many people can't get past a bite or two, I have no problem polishing off one Mars bar and then tucking into a second! Oh bliss!

So what is so great about the Mars Bar chocolate treat of the 20th and 21st centuries?

It has to be its simplicity. No fancy additions like nuts or biscuit or anything else - just that age old taste of caramel covered with thick chocolate that tastes so divine!

Here's an interesting aside that not a lot of people know about. Well, maybe more people know about it than I realize, especially diabetics and people who know diabetics. Its that when a diabetic's blood sugar levels drop dangerously low and they can't get to a shot of insulin, there is every chance they could slip into a coma if nothing is done to get their blood sugar levels back up to somewhere like normal fast.

Well one way of doing that is to get them to eat a Mars Bar before they get to sleepy to eat anything. That will give them a fast shot of high levels of sugar and glucose (which gets into the blood stream quick) and can stave off the coma state until they can get to a doctor or hospital.

So the great old Mars Bar is actually good for your health in that circumstance!

Food for thought when next standing in front of teh chocolate bar counter in your local sweet shop and trying to decide what to treat your self to. I never have any problems - if I have any kind of dilemma as to which one of the many chocolate treats to choose from, I simply grab a Mars Bar because I know its still the best bar of chocolate in the shop!

Hot Chocolate Models

Welcome to Hot Chocolate Models, a blog that is darn well all about that beautiful, sweet, sweet stuff called chocolate!

I'll be writing irreverntly about most things that contain some chocolate, models are only a small part of it! Hot chocolate is gorgeous and I can't get enough of it, so its in the title too. I'll also be raving like a lunatic about chocolate cakes, chocolate chip cookies (oh, yeah!!!), boxes of chocolates (as in those divine assortments that come from Switzerland and Belgium), chocolate fountains and how they can be used to create in a second that most exquisite of all delights, chocolate covered strawberries!

If you think I'm going to miss out on something, don't. I won't and that's a fact. If its got hot chocolate somewhere in the title, or even chocolate models, I'll be covering it someplace in this handy little blog!

See y'all soon!
