We were talking about our chocolate blog last night. Since, we have been posting so many videos on the main, my Aunt Theresa, and I have decided to have all the videos on our chocolate videos page. Click here to see the new videos.

The videos we have compile so far include making chocolate, Gourmet Chocolate, Chocolate Gifts, and Chocolate Covered Strawberries.

The videos are meant for educational purposes. We want people to learn something from the videos. Hopefully, the videos will spark new ideas, and new creations.

Enjoy the videos. We know we have.

As you noticed recently, we put up “pay per post” badges on this blog. We thought it would be a good idea to make a little extra money. I want to start putting away money for college early. By the time, Sandy, and Timmy are ready to go to college, hopefully there will be enough money saved up to pay for tuition, books, and living expenses. That will be about ten years from now. So time is on our side.

Since we are already writing about chocolate, there is no reason why we cannot write reviews, and not get paid extra. We will post reviews related to the topic of chocolate. We are going to have some blog ads, but no to the extent we have seen in other blogs.

This is strictly for a good cause. In fact, my nephew has been working for free running this blog and other blogs. I would like to pay him for his hard work. He has been gracious enough to run all the technical stuff.

When we came across PayPerPost on another blog , I discussed this with Nick, and Nicole. They both said go for it. So we signed for an account on PayPerPost, and hopefully we can write some great reviews, and make money to help with the cause.
Of course, feel free to sign up with PayPerPost. Everybody can make extra money as well.

Love Ya

There are many animals on the endangered list, chocolate should also on the list of endangered species. After all with people swearing to not eat chocolates and there are warnings about the dangers of eating chocolates, then there won’t be enough chocolate lovers left in the world. And if there are no chocolate lovers then there is no need for chocolate. So, it is obvious that chocolate has become an endangered species. Or is it?

Well, contrary to popular perception the time for writing obituaries about chocolate hasn’t yet arrived. In fact, sales of chocolate have only increased over the years. Nobody can really explain it. With all the factors going against chocolate you would expect that the sales would have come down. But, no! The fascination for chocolate is not going to end any time soon, especially dark chocolate.

The fascination with chocolate goes back a long time. In fact there are records that show that as early as the seventeenth century people in Mexico were fascinated by this delicious substance. According to a story the women of Mexico of those days were so fascinated by chocolate that they used to have their maids bring it in during sermons even at the cost of interrupting the sermon by a Bishop. When the Bishop threatened them with excommunication they preferred changing the church rather than leave their hot chocolate. The moral of the story - Chocolate is here to stay and nothing is going to change that.
