See this little guy? He's covered in chocolate. And he's happy. What happens when you run out of chocolate? He turns into an absolute BEAST. He used to be addicted to Hershey Kisses but since it's summer he has moved on to fudge pops. So this is what I've learned this summer....
- Keep fudge pops in stock AT ALL TIMES. Running out will cause a frantic phone call to your husband at work(with a screaming child in the background)to plead with him to make a fudge pop run. Alternately, Lucas will bring you Lean Pockets or steak from the freezer in lieu of pops.
- Popsicle sugar free pops are your friend. They somehow attach the individually wrapped packages in pairs so that means when Lucas brings one to me to open, he always brings one for me. Which brings me to the next point...
- Lucas can open the freezer quite easily but he can't always be depended upon to close it. Always check to make sure the freezer door is closed.
- Buy a freezer door lock and the freezer raiding can be avoided.
- This light bulb went off after a love of corn dogs was discovered: food on a stick! Genius! I see shish kebabs in our future.
Start keeping chocolate pudding mix in the pantry. He'll love warm pudding on a chilly day and it will be cozy and comforting for Lukey. Plus, you can go the "Deceptive.." route and throw some sweet potato's in the mix before it thickens, just make sure to add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to hide the evidence. Also, it will give him extra antioxidants.
ReplyDeleteAh, Lady, I wish I was that clever. However, most of the sweet stuff I make is on a whim which would make the sweet potato deception unworkable. The cocoa powder idea is doable though.
ReplyDeleteToo bad that don't make the candy bar Barnone any more. That was how I tamed the "chocolate beastie."
ReplyDeleteWell I did a little sleuthing and found out a couple things: There's a rumour that you can get Bar None in Mexico. Also, there's an online petition to bring back Bar None. I also found this: http://www.candy.com/ which you may find interesting.
