Okay, so I applied to be an 'editor' for an on-line web article writing website thing the other day. Just to make articles about certain subjects once a week. They wanted fifteen ideas for articles and an article over 400 words. So, I took a could of hours and pushed one out as I would love to add the word 'editor' to my resume and to give my still awaiting books some credibility. However, just got an e-mail back my article sucked and 'thank you, but no thank you'. I know rejection is a regular part of writing, but it is a sucky part. So, now my blog readership, of one, gets to read the article, because I did take the time to write it so --everyone suffers.
--My Favorite Chocolates --
‘Chocolate’, it is a word that inspires us. It reminds us of picked through Russell Stover’s heart shaped boxes and tore up Hersey’s bar wrappers stuffed under our mattresses. Whether we think of it as a guilty pleasure, a dietary adversary, or our very best friend, we all have some kind of relationship with Chocolate.
So, like a great treasure hunter, we stalk the grocery store isles and plowed through the Internet to bring to you these little gems.
The round Lindt Lindor Truffle wrapped in its ultra shiny tin wrapper resembles a Christmas ornament fallen from the tree. It hints at the taste explosion hidden in this small chocolate bomb. These have a low melting temperature so when you put it into your mouth it melts and envelopes the tongue with a rich flavor. The Milk Chocolate is one of our favorites, although they come in Dark Chocolate, White Chocolate, and Cookies & Crème, as well. These are Swiss chocolate, by the way.
Ah, the wonderful center of the Ferrero Rocher, notable for the creamy chocolate lovingly hiding the crunch of a whole hazelnut. Extremely delicious. It is also worth knowing that this Italian sweet comes in many different varieties, including a lemon crème filled and a strawberry crème filled, called Ferrero Garden.
Chocolove Candy bars are an up and comer for a very important reason. People love chocolate. This Colorado candy bar loves people back. Each Candy bar (in flavors like Almonds & Sea Salt in Dark Chocolate and Coffee Crunch in Dark Chocolate) comes wrapped in a love poem. How sweet is that? Literally?
See’s Candies has been making incredibly good candy since 1921. We recommend trying the See’s Chocolate Truffle variety box as it is both affordable and irresistible. The See’s motto is “Quality Without Compromise” and your can taste it. They have a truffle that tastes like blueberry muffins! The lemon truffle is citrus and tangy, perfectly mixed with the chocolate truffles. If you get a box of these you will not want to share, but do anyway as they will impress even the most jaded chocolate snob.
Wait, Ferrero, again? That’s right. We must sincerely insist you try a Kinder Bueno. We bet you thought this one was German chocolate because ‘Kinder’ is German for ‘children’. Or perhaps you thought it was Spanish because ‘Bueno’ is Spanish for ‘good’. But, this is Italian chocolate. And it is amazing. The Bueno is a candy bar so good is it wrapped like a cigar. It is a wafer bar filled with hazelnut crème and coated in chocolate. We love these so much we encourage you to order them by the case on Amazon (as there are only a few stores in the US currently that sell them).
There you have it. Maybe some of your favorites made the list, maybe they didn’t. We would love to know if you have a chocolate candy favorite that we should be trying. If you have not tried one on the list, look for it. A little bit of chocolate does the mind, body, and heart good.
--Yeah, so there you have it. It's not fabulous, but I thought it was okay. On to other things. ;)

Sorry to hear you've been rejected and I thought the chocolate piece was lovely.
And you know those current editors, or whomever they are, are out buying all the chocolates you mentioned and dying a little bit inside when they taste the yumminess.
this made me lol. Thanks, Man for knowing just the right thing to say. ;)
