"decadence" news and stories

There is no way to say "I love you" on Valentine's Day better than saying it with chocolate. It is the number one gift for the holiday and typically, it is men giving it to women. But girls aren't the only ones who like chocolate. See's Candies makes an elegant Tuxedo Heart box of chocolate just for girls to give to their guys on Valentine's Day. The box retails for $21.35 and is filled with one pound of delicious, assorted See's candies, including Milk and Dark Chocolate Buttercreams in Chocolate and Vanilla, silky Caramels, crisp Molasses Chips, light and decadent Truffles and solid, red foil-wrapped Chocolate Hearts. And ladies, if you ask nicely, I bet he'll share a piece or two. Of course, you could always buy your own box, just in case.

See's, based in California, will ship all over the country, but place your orders early to ensure they reach your Valentine on time.

It's not our fault. It's evolution, man. When the days are short and the weather is cold, all we want to do is snuggle into our comfiest chair with a blanket, a steamy mug of hot chocolate, and maybe a nice slice of meatloaf or macaroni and cheese. Followed up by (naturally) chocolate layer cake with extra coffee ice cream.

But the magazines, the newspapers, heck, even the blogs, all they say is eat right! Lose weight! Get out of the house! And most importantly, lose that comfy chair, man!

We're left with the ultimate D-word: Dilemma. What's to be done when our biology is warring with our better judgment? Diet? Or give in to the Decadence of the season, fill our tummies with warm, fattening comfort food, and just wait 'til spring to follow through on those resolutions?
