well, that seems a little grim…

Must be dark chocolate

I have ordered a desert called, “Death by Chocolate” before, but it didn’t work. I’m still alive.

I wonder what their marketing looks like.

Chocolate Covered Pretzel Styx seems like a good start.

It’s to die for.

And a chocolate Bleeb…

True story. I was delivering a package to a lady on my route. As I handed it to her she said emphatically, “But it’s not chocolate.”

I sort of fumbled with my words and said that she could order chocolate through the mail.

She exclaimed, “But I’m on a diet!” I walked away thinking, “Now what just happened here?”

Today’s tasty looking environment may or may not be safer than yesterday’s.

Clever turning of a phrase!

times are bad.

Death by Chocolate…..yummy!

But this is Death luring in his victims…

There seems to be some dyslexia goin’ on here… but just can’t seem to put my finger on it!

But it’s safe to say, that chocolate is like bacon… it makes everything better!

My favorite? Chocolate covered stuff on a stick!

Well, that is a hard lesson to learn about reading the advertisement a little more closely…

Be sure not to buy the ‘kisses’.

It’s owned by the owner of Peace in the Valley Funeral Home…

How bittersweet….

The kisses don’t fear the reaper. Nor do the almond bars or marshmallow cups…

Not sure I would buy candy at a place that allows critters (Bleeb) to roam freely among the goods.

The dread of Type ll…

What a way to go.

Chocolate ala mort.

Its a thing

But it is chocolate to die for

Actually makes sense. You need cold hands to work with chocolate.

No cake for me, thanks. I’m watching my figure. I’ll just have the chocolate-covered Styx.

I wouldn’t eat it.

“Oooo! I see you have free samples, too!”

Quite dark!
