Thursday, March 19, is National Chocolate Caramel Day, which is as good of an excuse as any to indulge in Twix bars, rolls of Rolo, Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Caramel Squares, retro Zero bars, See’s Scotchmallows, hand-dipped turtles, Snickers Supreme milkshakes, Baskin-Robbins Gold Medal Ribbon ice cream, and last year’s forgotten box of Girl Scout Samoas...
Or you could wait for Fed Ex to show up in a pair of those perversely alluring shorts, bearing an order of Fran’s Sea Salt Caramels.
Rumor has it that the President and First Lady are big fans of Fran’s, the Seattle-based chocolatier. But if the Obamas happen to be celebrating National Chocolate Caramel Day, you can bet they’re not hiding out in the Lincoln bedroom eating Mrs. Richardson’s ice cream toppings right out of the jar while Sasha and Malia run wild through the White House, and neither should you.
Take my advice and order Fran’s 40-piece Gray and Smoked Salt Caramels. (Milk and dark chocolate!) It’s good for you and it’s good for the economy.
