To Taste Tuesday - Chocolate Cravings

Do you ever get a craving for something, but don't quite know what it is. So, you try something that sounds good and then think, "No, that's not right," and can never really get to the bottom of what that craving is and satisfy it? I thought at first I was just craving something sweet, some dessert, kind of a side affect of my recent travels and withdrawal from daily treats. I tried to satisfy it with several things. Cookies, Skittles, muffins, popsicles...nothing. I think I've finally, through process of elimination, decided that specifically I'm craving chocolate. Only I have nothing chocolate in the house, save cocoa powder, and we're getting ready to travel again so I don't plan on grocery shopping unless absolutely necessary. Drooling over these goodies will have to do for now.

This month's Daring Baker's challenge included Milan Cookies, and while I'm not a member of the group, I often wish I was eating the things they bake up. Milan Cookies are one of my favorites. I can't eat them without being remided of the many times I found package(s) of them hidden in a cupboard as a child. No doubt hidden by my dad, because they are one of his favorites too. I've seen several posts about them this month. I adore this blogger's picture, so I've included this version even though there are many more.
