Good morning everyone, here’s my recent Russian chocolate adventure.
Bear in mind I cannot read a single label of any of these, they’re all in Cyrillic.
This was the first little chocolate I got and it was pretty good! The nut inside surprised me. It’s a good thing I’m not allergic to much or I would’ve been in trouble. The inside of the chocolate was quite a bit softer than I expected—not a cream, but almost like it was aerated.
This little dude also surprised me—again, I have no idea what kind of nut that is, nor what kind of cream or butter it’s surrounded by. It was good though! Not too sweet, which is what I prefer.
Next is this chocolate bar, which ended up being several small chocolate bars. I KNOW this is caramel on the inside because I hate caramel. Definitely my least favorite so far. However! The texture of the chocolate is nice, and it’s fun to bite pieces off of. I think the structure and smoothness of the chocolate makes up for fucking caramel.
Lastly,
I don’t have any pictures of the chocolate itself because I ate it that fast and that joyfully. This was DELICIOUS. It was pure chocolate all the way through and was SUPER high quality, because there was next to no bitter aftertaste despite the high cocoa content. Reminded me of monastic Italian gelato, and yes I will make that reference until someone asks me for the story. I’m going to buy this chocolate bar whenever I need a pick me up.
Thank you for joining me on today’s chocolate adventure, note the tag for whatever filtering you might need. In addition, if someone has a specific food tag (for ED recovery purposes) please let me know and I will happily use it.

“I-I don’t understand…h-how…how has it all gone so wrong?”
Before her stands the somehow simultaneously frozen and burnt multilated corpses of the chocolates she attempted to make. The pot of water she had used as a double boiler was on fire, the mold was completely melted to the frozen tray, and she was covered in cocoa powder.
Guess this was why she was banned from ever cooking.

GUYS I AM HERE TO BLESS YOU WITH MY VERSION OF ALFRED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES WHICH HAVE BEEN PERFECTED AFTER MONTHS OF WORK
chile anyways
so ur gonna start off with 1/2 a cup of sugar, 3/4 a cup of brown sugar and two pinches of salt.
throw it together in a large bowl and mix it out using ur hands to get all the clumps out
i swear never use a utensil to mix anything while baking always do it with ur hands it tastes better trust me.
next ur gonna melt around a 100 grams of butter so just under half a cup
now what u wanna do is pour the butter into the sugar while its still hot then get up in there with some elbow grease and mix into the sugar until it has a sludge like texture and there are no clumps,
remember the butter must still be hot while u mix it up, not like boiling or anything but still hot <3
1 egg, throw it in there again mix it up, (for the love of god have some fun in life and keep mixing with ur hands its so much fun and it actually tastes so much better some how call it putting some love into ur baking, or even take ur anger out on the batter, its rlly therapeutic.)
next a cap of vanilla or a dash or whatever however much feels right
2 pinches of baking powder
and then 1 and 1/4 cup of flour, all together
then again in with your hands mix it up and put some elbow grease in there
now the chocolate chips, yum.
theres no fucking measurement for it, you measure that shit with your heart, just keep pouring till it feels right and looks right, and dont be afraid to snag a few chocolate chips here and there while you pour <33
oke so now ur gonna throw a lid on the bowl or wrap it with ceran wrap and throw it in the fridge for minimum an hour, the longer you leave it the better it tastes but max like 3 and 1/2 hours, i typically leave mine in for 1 and a 1/2 to 2 hours.
then your gonna take it out, let it soften for 5 minutes while your preheat your oven at 180C or 350F
then your gonna put parchment paper on the tray u’ll be baking on
then get ur cookie dough and start rolling it into whatever size balls feel right and place them on the tray.
then pop those babies in the oven for 15 minutes and let em bake, but dont forget to check in after 10 minutes.
take em outta the oven once its done, let it rest for like two minutes then pop them on the tray and leave em alone for like 5 or so minutes more
and voila ready to eat <33
they’ll have that crunch to them and still be soft on the inside without being raw so like best of both worlds
Also dont be afraid to make a mess while you bake, its half the fun and you can always clean up later <33

absolutely fuck dropout for turning a lighthearted interview show between brennan & sam into a Treatise on Play as Radical Praxis because now i'm fucking sobbing
"maybe the things we do in play activity are the only things that break us out of cycles that seem inescapable" brennan says casually, as if he didn't just propose an incredibly profound idea

Visited a local chocolaterie today!
The first one was dark chocolate with (I think, I can’t remember) milk chocolate buttercream. I really liked this one.
The second was milk chocolate with espresso ganache. Wasn’t as big a fan of this one, but I’m just not wild about milk chocolate in general.

There’s a middle eastern bakery and confectionary in town that sells Dubai chocolate. This is the first time I’ve had it. It’s delicious!!! The knafeh in the middle was soooo rich, it was definitely too much to eat in one go but I couldn’t help myself.
