"I love chocolate covered strawberries and the first time I ever bit into one I remember the sound of the chocolate breaking, the feel of the strawberry juice dripping down my chin and the glorious taste! The aroma of a chocolate covered strawberry is divine! And they look so pretty—the red and chocolate brown with a hint of green. Maybe I remember it because it touched all five of my senses!" -Sharon F.
"When I think of chocolate, the first memory that pops into my head would be holidays such as Valentine’s Day, Easter and Halloween. I think about all of the years that have passed and all of the wonderful memories I have made involving all types of chocolate, I couldn’t see myself living without it… I’m a choco-holic!!" -Nina L.
"When I was in 7th grade, my best friend and I randomly decided to throw chocolate pudding at each other. It was fun while it lasted but her mother was not happy with the outcome. We spent the rest of the day cleaning it up!" -Brandy D.
"When I was very little, my parents went camping all the time. We first went in a tent, which was extremely uncomfortable. So, we eventually got a pop up which was frustrating but comfortable. On those camping trips we would always make s’mores. It was a tradition among campers. Everyone liked their s’more a little different. My dad and my brother both liked to blacken the marshmallows. My favorite part was the melted Hershey bars. If it wasn’t messy then I did not like it." -Andrew K.
"The first thing I thought of was when I was a little girl and I got to go to my grandparents’ house. They owned a gas station and lived upstairs from it. Downstairs was a little store and Grandma would always tell my dad to let us get a bottle of Coke and a candy bar from the glass enclosure under the cash register. Hershey bars, Reese cups or a bag of M&M’s were always my pick." -Sheila S.
"My favorite chocolate memory is when I used to help my mom bake Christmas cookies when I was younger. She would always make a ton of different types of cookies to give to friends and family. My favorite was always the chocolate fudge that she made. It was so easy to make and tasted so good!" -Laura A.
"My favorite chocolate memory involves the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Easter Eggs. This is my favorite candy that includes chocolate. When I was young, on Easter I would look in my Easter Basket for Reese’s Eggs. I would count how many eggs I had and figure out when I was going to eat them. I wanted to eat them all at once, but I knew I would regret that decision later. I would always save one Egg until the end when I knew I was finished with my Easter candy. I would savor that Egg knowing it would be a long time before I had another." -Bob J.
"When I think of chocolate and memories my grandpa pops into my head. Since I was little, whenever I go over to my grandparents’ house he always has this secret stash of candy somewhere. You can never leave their house without grabbing a piece of chocolate—he won’t let you leave without some." -Molly B.
"It all started for me as a young tot in a high chair on my 1st birthday. Of course, this memory is not from my memory exactly, but rather from something I saw on a home video. I am sitting in a high chair, gnawing on some sort of chocolate biscuit which is in turn melting all over my sweet little face. Everyone in my family is standing around in awe of how precious this moment is, as my cheeks turn from a rosy pink to a chocolate brown. This may have been the exact moment that led to my love for chocolate. Although, I can’t truly remember how I was feeling on April 27, 1990, I’m sure it was the same bliss that I feel even now as an adult!" -Alyssa S.
"My favorite chocolate memory was learning how to bake my Grandma’s famous chocolate chip cookies. She took a whole day to teach me how to make her favorite recipes and I was so excited to finally learn her secrets. Even though I now know how to make her cookies, they always taste better when she makes them for me!" -Michelle W
"My favorite chocolate memory is from this little candy store near my parents' house called Supreme Nut and Candy. Every time we drove by it we would beg my dad to let us go in. He would give us a little bag and we would pick out our favorite candy. Of course, I always had to have the nonpareils (they're like giant snow-caps), which were my favorite!" -Lauren R.
"I remember when I was about six my stepfather bought my baby sister, April, (she was about 10 months old) a triple dip of chocolate ice cream. She had ice cream all over her. My momma used an 8mm movie camera and taped it. She had more ice cream on her than she ate. Her hair was covered and you couldn't see any part of her lovely face." -Vicki E.
"My grandpa LOVED vanilla ice cream with Hershey's chocolate syrup. I can remember being 4 years old, spending the night with my grandparents, and pouring my own syrup on my ice cream--however much I wanted! They always bought the Hershey's syrup in the metal can and he even taught me to puncture the 2 holes in the top using a can opener. I usually stirred mine into "chocolate soup" though my grandpa rarely tried that!" -Michelle B.
