My Dark Chocolate Weakness

Daily writing prompt
What’s your favorite candy?

Dark chocolate is my weakness—though I’m admittedly picky about it. I’ll pass on Tootsie Rolls every time; if I’m going to spend my sugar budget, it has to be the good stuff. Smooth, rich, melt-on-your-tongue chocolate feels like a tiny luxury in the middle of an ordinary day.

Every once in a while, a plain Hershey’s bar hits the spot, especially if it’s cold from the fridge or melted into a s’more. But most of the time, I reach for something a little more special: a square of salted dark Ghirardelli that snaps perfectly when you break it, a decadent truffle, or a Theo bar with just the right balance of bitter and sweet. One small piece after a long day of work, kid chaos, and dishes feels like a quiet little celebration I don’t have to share.
