   Is this pretty common? Kids drinking coffee? What age do they start drinking coffee? It’s probably mostly milk and cream spiked with a little coffee, no? So caffeine is probably not a big deal?

   Like Sha, I started (in college) to take the edge off winter chill.

   Gummy bears in chocolate, sounds like the kind of weird (to me) confection my kids would think up.

   Connie, Do your girls know about s’mores? tradiitonal girl scout campfire food, toasted marshmallows and chocolate in a graham cracker “sandwich”.

   JS, my kids don’t drink coffee-coffee. It’s mostly milk chocolate with a little coffee stirred in. Most common concoction is Swiss Miss with coffee.

   Oh, I forgot the post the gummy bears in chocolate pic…

   The s’mores we know are the ones in boxes. Quaker, if I remember correctly. We used to buy huge boxes then they got tired of it.

   I think I’m the one who needs those calories But even when I made drinking Swiss Miss an everyday chore, I still remained ectomorphic While those people around want to lose weight, I am hoping to gain mass. One way would be, I think, to have the treat above and make it as a regular part of my morning rituals (assuming I already have enough money to be able to maintain a 1 pack Swiss Miss / day). The only problem now then would be… diabetes?

   Fleeb, two things:

   1) You win some, you lose some.
   2) Give and take.

   Hehehehehe

   I’m a Starbucks fan (I’m Miss Rhumba). But ever since I came here, hindi na ako naka Starbucks. Super mahal I don’t even want to think about it.

   I like this post. Natuwa ako sa daughter mo. I think I would have done the same thing.

   Here, every time I miss my Starbucks days, I just make iced choco drink (Caotina powdered cocoa with fresh milk) or iced coffee (Jacob’s coffee with milk). Maybe I should try what your daughter did: add some whipped cream. Thanks for the tip, Sassy!

   [...] Right after Alex made her choco loco on Friday evening, older sister Sam took over the kitchen. She had this idea–dipping gummy bears in melted chocolate. I don’t know how she located the mixing bowls. Next moment I peeked in the kitchen, she was already stirring the melted chocolate. She did it all by herself–inserting toothpicks into the gummy bears, dipping them in chocolate, laying them out on a sheet of wax paper to harden… she even washed the dirty mixing bowls. She also ate her concoction. I tried two and… well, they were pretty interesting. [...]
