                <description>To pick a favorite would be very difficult to do, you see I am a chocoholic.&amp;nbsp;
&amp;nbsp;My preference is for milk chocolate: Hershey&#039;s , Ghiradelli, Guitards, and anything homemade.&amp;nbsp; I have a recipe for fudge that requires 30 minutes of stirring the candy&amp;nbsp; before putting it in the fridge to set, it is to die for. I love almost anything (within reason, no bugs or weird stuff) chocolate-candy, cake, cookies, fondue, fruit, nuts, and mochas!&amp;nbsp; There is one&amp;nbsp;exception to my love of chocolate, meaning nothing like that cheap no name stuff that we give to our kids which may pass for chocolate to them but not to me, give me the good stuff.</description>
