Haha, but I must say I love the story. Political problems, so the guy threatens to cut off the world chocolate supply in order to get support. The entire world immediately rushes to his aid ...

They just THINK the Middle East has us because of our need for oil. No, the whole world would grind to a halt if you cut off the supply if ... Chocolate.
:lol:

The president of the Ivory Coast has cut off cocoa exports ! Ivory Coast accounts for 40% of the cocoa needed for chocolate.

So if you cook with chocolate or chocolate chips or drink hot chocolate, stock up now before the prices go up in reaction.
So I should order one of those 50 pound blocks, you are saying?

Must make sure my motorcycle is in good working order because of gas prices.

Must stock up on chocolate and hide it so I don't eat it all in a week.

Does anyone else buy chocolate chips for making cookies and end up eating them instead? :hide

Oh No they don't! :hit Messing with the chocolate supply is playing dirty. Even for politics. :rant
Those leaders will start caving when it's that time of month for their wives,or daughters, or girlfriends... :hide We are so much nicer when properly supplied with our cocoa meds. :bun :lol:

:hide I'm glad it''s not just me.

The chips I buy in bulk from my health food store have such a different flavor than Hershey's. I don't know where they come from but the cocoa is fabulous. The cocoa powder I get there is wonderful as well.

I should find out who makes them.

Actually they do recommend have deserts and treats in you long term food storage. For keeping people happy, comfort food you know!!
