What kind of weirdo eats a tiny bit of chocolate?

For those of us who can’t get enough of the big doofus:

FWIW, I absolutely adore German chocolate, especially RitterSports. I’ve been to Germany a few times over the past few years, and like to bring sone multi-packs of assorted mini-bars back to work. They go fast, except for the Knusperflakes.

I think German it’s my favorite kind of chocolate. I definitely like it better than Belgian.

I also love the directions on where to break the bar to open it up, and then, like magic, you can get the first row out (basically, the minimum serving, if you ask me).

Only one tiny bit at a time, so the two bars last longer. I haven’t finished yet, they must last till whisky time. 🥃

Come on!  
I hate you all.

I want ‘good’ chocolate.

@discobot fortune

Will I ever get good chocolate even if @RitterSport is a doofus?

Save a little chocolate for the whisky. Whisky-chocolate pairings can be very tasty.

That would mean more lousy chocolate and no whiskey.

THAT’S my nightly routine! Out on the porch with fireflies and irish whisky… well, right now it’s bourbon (because I bought some Woodford Reserve)… and two squares of dark dark chocolate.

I buy [stuff that’s so good](https://wmchocolate.com/shop) that a little bit leaves your soul satisfied, and you really don’t desire anything else…

…  
(Try _that_ with a heart-shaped Whitman’s sampler, or a lump of Hershey’s, ya big doofi…)  
(latin plural, btw)

It’s actually “doofodes”, from the Greek.
