I have ALWAYS LOVED chocolate … specifically on this post hard shell chocolate, or chocolate “dipped” ice cream cones, (thinking Stray Dogs Grill in Tucson, Arizona); from childhood trips to Dairy Queen (Tastee Freeze), the ice cream carts going through the neighborhood to the current LOVE of Magnum bars and TUBS (guilty pleasure!)

So here’s a little trip down memory lane
