Potato chips?!? Chocolate?!? Together?! hmmm.....

Well today is an overcast Utah-winter Monday, Martin Luther King Day, and what am I doing to celebrate???

Studying of course! And thinking about what a cool guy Martin Luther King is, cause let’s be honest, he was a stud.

Here’s some food for thought, a quote from Martin Luther: “True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.”

THINK ABOUT IT.

Anyways, in honor of the civil rights movement, I will be eating this interesting bar:

Smell:

dark and salty, nothing too unique

Taste: 

crunchy, not an immediate taste of potato chips. Then zing! Here comes the pepper kicking in, then the potato, the potato subsides, and the pepper lingers...

Last stage of flavor development: it tastes like these:

which you know, I think are delicious, buuut not in chocolate. As you may have realized, I'm all about experimentation, and am a huge fan of the bacon chocolate combo, chili chocolate combo, and a ton of others, but this one left me feeling kinda nauseous....you can definitely taste the potato chip flavor, and although there is no greasy texture, I almost feel I can taste the potato grease itself. 

Moral of the story: If you are pregnant and having a strange hankering for potato chips covered in chocolate, it seems you are not the only one, because you will have a handful of options. Like these, which I have not yet tried: 

So don't rule out the idea! Maybe there is a time and a place for the marriage of fried potato chips and chocolate. 

But for this chocolate lover, it's not here, and not today.

But hey! It's Martin Luther King Day!! Let's party!! 

Love, Sondra
