thought ten: chocolate

You know those days when you come home from a pretty rubbish day at work, you're feeling a bit low and then BOOM a sudden urge for something chocolatey hits you in the face.

Well that was me today. 

I searched my cupboards. nothing.

I looked through the draws. nothing.

I emptied the contents of my bag. nothing.

I even raided the youth group basket of goodies. nothing.

But then, when I thought all hope was gone, I went to Pinterest. And gosh have I found the solution!
