As far as a chocoholic is concerned there is only one flavor- chocolate.

You just want chocolate and you don't care if it is white, dark, milk or semi sweet.

When everyone else talks about comfort foods like Mac & cheese or a PB&J sandwich a chocoholic's comfort food is chocolate in any form.
If you are a chocoholic, when you make homemade triple chocolate chunk chocolate ice cream and everyone wants to wait until after dinner you think it is dinner and dessert and not the little half cup serving but a good big old bowl.

Mmmm, as a chocoholic you keep a jar of hot fudge sauce in your refrigerator so you can have a soup spoonful at night while watching TV. It has to be a good quality fudge sauce too, none of this imitation sugar free or fat free. Skip the ice cream if you need to watch calories. Besides sometimes you just need a solid shot of chocolate.

If you see a chocolate shop you can’t pass it by. You must go in and breathe and browse. Of course you also have to purchase a piece or a pound. Yes, a true chocoholic.

When you travel to a new place the first thing you check is if they have a chocolate shop and where is it in relation to where you are staying. Of course some chocoholics plan their trips around chocolate festivals and such.

You look forward to holidays because the candy companies really over produce and stores over buy for the season. Your prayer is answered when stores start to discount candy after the holiday because they have to much left over.

This way you can buy two or three times as much as usual. Chocolate can be frozen.

You might be a chocoholic if you have the premier issue of Chocolatier in mint condition and a second copy just to use.

You have more than one recipe book dedicated to only chocolate. OK, maybe five or ten chocolate recipe books.

You have bags of chocolate chips in your cupboard just in case you need to make chocolate chip cookies. This is really a joke because you keep one of those tubs of already made chocolate chip cookie dough in the refrigerator with a spoon.

So now we have established the criteria for a chocoholic. So f you are a chocoholic then you understand the urge for chocolate.

Remember, if you ever go on a tour of a chocolate factory and see a melting bowl of chocolate, you CAN NOT stick your hand in it! You probably also have a hard time not using a cup on those chocolate fountains that have become so popular.

So do any of these things apply to you? Then you are probably a Chocoholic.
