“Cross Shaped Suckers! Get Your Cross Shaped Suckers right here!” And remember –
“These colorful treats aren’t just tasty, they’re meaningful, too!”
Hot Cross buns have been an Easter tradition in Europe for many many years. Don’t see all that much difference to chocolate crosses. Maybe Xmas we can have a whole chocolate nativity scene.
P.S. Eve air-kisses, I got one of your books for my Mum for Mother’s day, and she is loving it 
What’s next, halvah Stars of David?
I can certainly understand why some would fine a chocolate cross offensive. Even so, last year I spent a couple hours engraving a dying Jesus on my chocolate cross before eating it crown-o’-thorns first. Hey, if you want a humorless religion, go join Islam.
“Glady the Cross Eyed Bear” is a very good Matthew Hope mystery, involving toys, copyrights, and porn tapes (that’s an odd trio).
All of the Matthew Hope mysteries are named after childish items–Goldilocks, Puss in Boots, etc.
Mmmmm. Sacrelicious.

Shouldn’t candy crosses and jesuses…jesusi…jeseese…jesopoidea…screw it. You get the idea…anyway, be made of circus peanuts? It seems like it’d fit in better with the theme of martyrdom and self-sacrfice. Or at least make 'em out of redhots.
I’m confused. Don’t Catholics regularly venerate Christ himself by eating his flesh and body? What’s wrong with eating his cross?
Damn, you mean people have never heard of chocolate crosses? I’ve been eating them every Easter since I was a kid!
Hell, Sr. Frances Ramona gave us little white chocolate crosses on our last day of class before Easter break!
So I can’t see that this is a wide-spread protest by Catholics!
Ooooh, lovely, which one? Doesn’t matter, I’ll give away the ending: she dies.
The Kay Kendall bio, my Mum is a Northern English lass, so it seemed most appropriate.
Oh and next time, use spoilers please
Back to OP.
From a Christina point of view, isn’t a chocolate cross much better than pagan chocolate eggs and bunnies?
From a Christina point of view, I think a chocolate Joan Crawford would be best of all.
[Ooooh, I’d love a chocolate Joan Crawford!]
Well, don’t just stand there folks! Order your own!
Darn! Why is that we are led into temptation?!?
[A few weeks late note]Good to see you again eve! I was beginning to miss the (grammar) spankings you used to give me!
Love to see back![/afwln]
Actually, even more than chocolate crosses, I remember that everyone had butter crosses on their Easter table.
You took two sticks of butter, cut one in half, and positioned the halves on either side of the other one, at right angles to the axis. Made a perfect cross. They’d put it on the Easter table for the priests to bless. Nobody ever made a fuss about buttering their bread with a cross.
Eve, Eve, Eve, Eve… [writes 1000 times on the chalkboard]
You see, I needed you back here; I even had problems typing your name properly in the last post!
A chocolate Sophia Loren for me (with hazelnut paste filling).
I’m stealing this idea. There is no such thing as too tacky when it comes to stuff people round these parts will stick on their vehicles. I’ll be rich! Rich! Rich!
Hmmm… now where’s that patent office!
I think you might do better if you got a sticker of a Jesus peeing on a text book, a la those Calvin-esque decals.
Jesus peein’ on a gay couple might be a better seller, dontcha think?
OOOH! Jesus peein’ on a Activist Judge! I’d make a mint!
Or, even better, Jesus peein’ on an abortion clinic!
I’m gonna be sooooooooooooooo rich!
Kinky.
