Memoir Writing Prompt: When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

This is one of those lessons I learned very young in life. Even though Mom never seemed to be able to stretch her grocery money far enough to include anything other than powdered cocoa, I have always loved chocolate. Chocolate milk, hot chocolate, Hershey’s chocolate bar, chocolate kisses, etc. etc., etc . . . right up to today with my favorite decadent drink—chocolate martini. The martini resembles a chocolate milkshake on steroids. I limit myself to one every six months (approximately). I’m afraid I have passed this chocolate-loving passion onto my daughter, but it brings us a special closeness when we share a chocolate bar.
