Food on Fridays: Chocolate Raspberry Sticks

Here at the Food on Fridays carnival, any post remotely related to food is welcome. Recipes are enjoyed, but you can simply tell us if you’ve ever gotten gum stuck in your hair or how many times you’ve bobbed for apples. Stories are fun, so please don’t feel constrained to linking up recipes and food photography.

In other words, the Food on Fridays parameters are not at all narrow. I think of it as a virtual pitch-in where everyone brings something to share; even if the content of one item is unrelated to the rest, we sample it all anyway and have a great time.

When your Food on Fridays contribution is ready, just grab the broccoli button (the big one above or the new smaller option at the bottom) to paste at the top of your post and join us through Mr. Linky.

Here’s a Mr. Linky tutorial:

Write up a post, publish, then return here and click on Mr. Linky below. A screen will pop up where you can type in your blog name and paste in the url to your own Food on Fridays post (give us the exact link to your Food on Fridays page, not just the link to your blog).

You can also visit other people’s posts by clicking on Mr. Linky and then clicking participants’ names–you should be taken straight to their posts.

Please note: I return when possible during the day and update this post by hand to include a list of the links provided via Mr. Linky. If I can’t get to the computer to do so, you may access them all by clicking on the Mister Linky logo.

Food on Fridays with Ann

I recently discovered I’m not the only one who loves Trader Joe’s Chocolate Raspberry Sticks. Dark chocolate coats chewy raspberry insides, which are a jellied candy similar in consistency to candied orange slices.

Also, I know the lighting is weird (I snapped the photo at night under a lamp) and the container is looking rather empty (*chomp-chomp-chomp*). This is critical brain food, and from the looks of things (there are no chocolate raspberry sticks above the layer you see at the bottom), my brain has been famished.

Hi Ann,

I love those things-they don’t last very long at our house, either! If these are brain food, we should be geniuses…Enjoy your remaining TJ Chocolate Raspberry Sticks!

PS-The Chocolate Orange sticks are good, too!

I think my brain food is Sicilian style pizza. Never had the chocolate raspberry sticks though. They sound like something my girl would love!

Popcorn. I can eat the whole bag. I could eat more than one bag in a day. I like Pop Secret’s Homestyle microwave style. Nothing else is the same.
