Death by Chocolate!

I have for the first time ever tonight understood the meaning of the name "death by Chocolate." Which has been commonly given to many a favourable goody since the term was coined by Erik Russell in 1984 whilst working for London-based dessert manufacturer, Kaysens. On tasting the sample for a proposed new chocolate product he exclaimed, "This one's death by chocolate"! Well tonight (Mathew) i experienced first-hand the indulgent experience of near-death by Chocolate! After a morning assessment and a long afternoon in the library i found myself dragging my feet home to the front door. Where, once inside, i slumped myself on the sofa in a very quiet manner. For those who may not know quiet is not my Forté and can only suggest one thing! Something is up! I was in a miserable mood in dire need of cheering up. others may sympathise with me in this next claim, but im afraid today, yes, was just one of those days.I was quite simply just craving chocolate. White chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, solid chocolate, chocolate buttons, chocolate spread, chocolate drink, a bar of chocolate, a packet of chocolate, chocolate drops, anything, as long as it has cocoa in it i would have had it.
However my feelings towards the tasty treat have somewhat changed now that i have indulged in what can only be described as absolute death by chocolate. 
with the initial idea of giving in to the free galaxy hot chocolate sachet that i acquired from a hotel, Ali Perry and myself, like kids, typically got a little carried away. A simple hot chocolate quickly turned into the fab idea of Nutella hot chocolate, however the jar of Nutella had already had a pretty large dent made in it leaving not very much to work with. Therefor a bar of milk chocolate, a bar of dark chocolate, a lion bar, a bag of revels, a twix, a can of whipped cream and a further bar of chocolate later my deathbed was presented to me in the shape of a warm gooey glass of chocolatey goodness!

Ours looked a little more makeshift - but if anything far more deadly and much more tasty.  I can now go to bed content and full of Chocolatey goodness. Best near-death experience i've ever had!
