Happy Valentine's Day week!
If you're looking for a mildly creepy gift for your valentine, Russell Stover offers this 3.5 oz. box of assorted chocolates featuring a dog with an ectopically expressed googly eye.
You may have to dig a bit to find one of these im-paw-fect pooches, but I found this one at Target for the very reasonable price of $3.99.
I had a coupon that expired at the end of January for a Carvel ice cream cake, so I decided to use it at Fry's (Kroger). The ice cream cake I got was just one of their smaller, ordinary cakes (not a holiday or football themed one). The directions on the box state to thaw the cake in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes after being frozen, but I ate it without thawing it since I prefer harder ice cream.
The whipped icing on top was lighter than some icings/frostings, and it isn't too sweet. The vanilla layer of the cake also didn't have an overwhelmingly rich vanilla flavor. The chocolate part tasted just like chocolate ice cream and had some crumbly bits, however, the bottom chocolate layer of the cake did melt quickly. The cake was a nice, delicious treat.

I have been looking for a calcium supplement to take, and I decided to try Costco's Kirkland Signature chocolate flavored soft chews.
When I first tried a Kirkland Signature calcium chew, it wasn't too bad (at least not as bad as some chews I have tried in the past). They tasted OK considering they are a calcium supplement + vitamins D and K. They were pretty chewy and didn't really taste like chocolate. They basically tasted like Tootsie Rolls, except they are creamier and softer. So, they weren't really disgusting, but they weren't delicious, either (maybe because I don't really like Tootsie Rolls much).
However, when I started eating them on a daily basis, they became increasingly gross to me, and I couldn't eat them any more. They went from tasting OK to "blegh" pretty quickly.
