Wolltrunken
Totally unexpected packages are the best. Last week (Maybe two weeks ago-this summer is flying by as I slave away at work: little time to knit, no time to blog.), I was thrilled to find a box in the mail from my sweet friend Wolltrunken (Ravelry link).
The box was stuffed so full of German goodness. Chocolaty, yarny goodness.
I have done a surprisingly good job of savoring this chocolate and making it last. It's hard to see how much is here in the pictures, but there's was a ton!
I made a huge mistake with the Kinder chocolate , I shared it. Never, ever share new treats until you taste them yourself. The treats may be too precious for even your own beloved children(especially not the friends of your children, smelly teenage boys do not need rare, delicious treats--really, they'll eat anything...they do not have the most discerning palates). I shared it and then I tasted it. I want to demand all their pieces back, but of course they had inhaled them. It was soooo unexpectedly good. Mmmmm...
There's a really interesting Movenpick white chocolate bar with lemon bits that I'm still contemplating. It's sounds like it could be delicious, I just haven't felt "in the mood" for it. Weird, I know.
The most prized German treat...the Curly Wurly (it's hiding in the back of the bowl). I am saving this one for just me. For just the right time. When I am sure no one else is even remotely nearby. No one to smell it. No one to hear the ripping of the the wrapper. It will be mine. All mine.....
I'll be sure to give you a description of that chocolaty, caramelly goodness when I finally take a bite. i just know I'm going love it!
I also found a Toblerone, lots of little Ritter Sports, too many yummy flavors to mention, melt in your mouth Milka, and some sweet little lavender mint like candy that I cannot find a link too.
I must confess, finding all these candy links has been very hard on my willpower. But I've resisted. So far...
I've run out of time for the yarn goodness that came from Wolltrunken. I'll share that soon. Yarn and the meaning of the name Wolltrunken.
Oh my, it all sounds so heavenly.
Hide it quick, perhaps in your stash...they will never find it there.
Most boys have no interest in yarn:D

I know exactly what you mean about not always sharing. I wouldn't share a curly wurly with anyone. Enjoy your treats

I hide my chocolate in the back of the vegetable bin in the refrigerator.....
