Cherry Flavor

Okay, so maybe this is entirely in my head, kind of like how much I think about Miss Daylight and wonder if she thinks about me as much as I think about her...

Anyways... Miss Daylight aside...

Here's my newest favorite thing.  Try this out...

First thing you do is go buy the two following things, one is a decent bottle of red wine.  Now, I'm just using a blend at the moment that I bought while at Chaddsford Winery called American Red, but I imagine that most reds will work.  Next, buy the dark chocolate Hershey Kisses.  I'm curious to know how it works with the milk chocolate ones.  I feel like it wouldn't work as well as the dark chocolate ones do.  I'm also curious to know how other types of wines might work too.

Okay, so here's what you do... First after pouring a glass of the red wine, take a nice sip.  Then unwrap a dark chocolate Hershey Kiss and pop one in your mouth.  Let it melt away a bit or just basically chew most of it but leave a little tiny bit still on your tongue, then take another little bit of red wine.

It tastes like Cherry!

At least to me it does.  I've messed around with when to sip and when to eat the Hershey Kiss.  I feel like the best combination to get the most cherry-ish flavor is to sip, eat, sip.

Really though, it's kind of hard to go wrong with dark chocolate and red wine.

The cherry flavor is definitely brief and it's right at the tail end.

Again, maybe it's all in my head and it just tastes gross to everyone else.  But to me... At the tail end of sipping the second time, and chewing the dark chocolate Hershey Kiss together... I get a cherry taste.

Results may vary.  True story, I had a friend growing up that was allergic to chocolate.  I kind of love chocolate so... I can't imagine.  I feel like being allergic to chocolate is a terrible fate.  She would eat it anyways and just let herself suffer from breaking out in hives after the fact.

You know something is good when you're wiling to walk around with a face all broken out in hives just to have a small taste of it.

SO, I mean if you're not allergic to chocolate.  Go have a piece and thank your lucky stars that you can eat as much as you please!
