It’s midnight.

I’m sitting in bed, listening to my baby take sleepy breaths, when I see today’s writing prompt.

I start to think about chocolate and initially I want to invent something preposterous – I mean, the prompt says to describe your dream chocolate bar.

Then, I decide a slight improvement on an already smashing chocolate bar is dream enough for me. Sometimes, we can be satisfied with the wonder in what already exists. And just a lil tweak never hurt nobody.

So, my dream chocolate bar is a:

• chewy nougat
• topped with chopped peanuts and hazelnuts
• coated with salted caramel
• encased in a thin layer of milk chocolate

My mouth waters at the thought of how comforting it is to taste the marriage of sweet and salty and crunchy in one bite. Snickers have been my favorite chocolate bar for forever, and I’ve been on a hazelnut kick lately.

So, my dream chocolate bar would be a Snickers™ bar with hazelnuts. Prior to pregnancy, I ate chocolate all the time. And while I have many a picture of me eating, I cannot find a picture of me eating a chocolate bar 😵‍💫.

So, please enjoy this picture, of a decadent and broken open Snickers™ bar. If you have one on hand, indulge😋 and…

Enjoy the journey❣️
