Maltesers and Toffee Crisp

i think if i weren't me, i'd be disturbed by the amount of chocolate i have the capacity to consume on a daily basis. i was doing fine in the morning (no chocolate whatsoever - in fact, i was being quite healthy), but then i went to some academic meeting thing and ended up having an appetizer of maltesers with a brownie and hot chocolate as my main lunch dish.

so, :


... which are essentially british milk duds - i never really got into milk duds, so i can't really say how they compare... i did eat them pretty quickly, but i think that was mostly a matter of hunger and not of tastiness. this particular type of candy (the whole malted milk centers) isn't really my style.

and i also ate this (later, of course, with dinner but not for dinner):


this disappeared quickly enough as well, but again, not sure if that's because it was actually that delicious. Toffee Crisp, made by Nestle, is rice crispies in soft toffee and covered in milk chocolate, marketed only in the united kingdom.

not bad, but also not extraordinary - not a candy bar i'd want with me on a desert island (or, excuse the awful unpunniness of this, a dessert island).

i should probably cut back on this chocolate-eating thing. i can't imagine daily updates being terribly beneficial for my body...
