And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Toblerone Swiss Milk Chocolate Giant Candy Bar with Honey and Almond. Imagine the reaction from the kids, then the sugar rush!
My Italian grandmother used to give us kids a Toblerone nougat with almonds at Christmas. They came in a small box wrapped in wax paper inside the box.
By no means a chocolate expert, but "Sublime" chocolate bars from Peru are an special treat. Readily found in most neighborhood "Latin" stores. Regular or white chocolate.
So that weight comes out to 4.5 kilos, which is at least somewhat of a surprise. I was thinking it would be more like a whole kilo conversion. -Rob Muir
Had a fat girl friend,we walked down the baking isle and i stopped and handed her a 10lbs. sack of sugar and said Elvis had a 13lbs impacted colon when he died.
My wife bought me one of those giant Hershey bars one year, mostly as a joke. Thing must have weighed about 10 lbs. Thing is, they have to add *something* to the chocolate to stiffen it up. Otherwise, at that size, it would just droop or break when you picked it up. It didn't taste right, didn't have the same texture as the smaller regular sized bars. At the time I actually tried to eat it, but hard pass now. Just ain't the same.
I bought a Hershey bar a few months ago after having not eaten one in a few years. I didn't know what it tasted like. Didn't taste like chocolate, tasted like man made chemical concoction. A few days later I got all the way off the chocolate train. Prolly never eat it again, at least, not the affordable stuff.
The Swiss make wonderful chocolate treats, but Toblerone is not one of them.
ReplyDeleteToblerone is cheap, over milked, under cacaoed, over sweet junk.
That's how I wanna check out. Death by chocolate.
