My mother and I are experiencing so many difficulties, that we have made a rule: we will keep two treats around at all times. These treats are Cheese Balls, the little round Cheeto-like things in a big jar, And CHOCOLATE. We realize these are not the healthiest snacks on the planet but dang, we need our treats.
Right now the chocolate I bought is Lindor Truffles. (The milk chocolate kind this time.) Are you, too, a cheese and chocolate fan? What are your treats?
Yes, we're bad. You don't have to tell us, lol.

Mine is 95, I didn't think there was any mom older, lol. My mother has gotten so tiny she could float away. But you can tell I eat this stuff by my current lack of waistline.

The dark is actually my favorite, but my mom likes the milk chocolate best. So this was her turn

Fudge! Darling daughter has this knack for it luckily. Just a little at a time and I'm happy :) As far as cheese goes.. I like the crunchy cheese sticks. I can thank a girl from grade 7 named Debbie Seneco... the things that stick in my head. And I'm going to adopt your rule!

Good for you! I love fudge. I haven't had any in awhile. Maybe that will be our chocolate for the next time.

@cinnamongrl Bad, bad ladies, but treats that are healthy are boring. When life is tough you really need tasty, unhealthy treats to keep your spirits up.

@CinnamonGrl I like hard candy but I prefer the chewy ones and yes any kind of sour. The more sour the better.

I don't like cheese balls I've tried them and not a fan. Some of the Lindor truffles i do like and some i don't. Never tried the milk chocolate ones though.
