Let Chocolate Be Your Great Escape

Each week Hazelwood Patch provides those deserving people who need some way to get away, with ideas for quick getaways.

Well, as the editor of this site, I work crazy hours. Some days it feels like all I do is work. Well on Monday while working in my office, a Ghirardelli commercial came on.

Now I'm not one to see something on television and want it, really, I'm not. But the commercial showed a rich piece of milk chocolate with creamy caramel in the center. In a moment, it was like the commercial voice and the voice in my head said the same thing at the same time. Why can't Ghirardelli be a little escape from the complexities of the world?

It's that simple. So many people take pleasure in a small square, and for those trying to lose weight as I am, one square is all you need for a little satisfaction. So that's this week's "Great Escape." Let chocolate take you away.

If you don't care for chocolate, the escape doesn't end there. There are tons of great foods that can give you that small moment of pleasure. Just remember, this is one truly  sweet way to spend some quality time with yourself.

Enjoy.
