With all the other tasty delights that fill the season, that's a lot of chocolate in December. The trick is to sample everyone's box, then with stealth, wrap my own gift-wrapped box in four layers of plastic and hide it in the deep freezer behind the chicken tenders.
Then comes goody deprivation in July.
The home is silent and empty, so with great pomp and ceremony, I shave the ice from the chicken tenders and pry out the treasured box. Quietly stealing into the closet, I peel each layer of plastic wrap from the package and tear off the gift wrap and open the box. Before me lies the glossy map of flavors and the single layer of bubble wrap. Immediately both the map and the bubble wrap are included in the wrappings and tossed in the trash.
Christmas is mine as I select a cherry walnut fondant with dark chocolate. Double yum. This will get me through until the goodies of Halloween are upon us.

Haha, now I know where to look!
I used to try to sneak the chocolate but I always got caught. You have a better system.

Better than a smart idea. I believe I may try it... my candy is always gone by 11am. Just can't help myself. I am going to bed craving chocolate...
Hey guys- your Fourth of July video was in incredibly cool! We LOVED every bit of it! I need to use our video much more. Thanks for inspiring us!
Self control, which I have none when it comes to a box of See's chocolate. However, I have discovered for the same price, I can choose the chocolates I want.
Miss you!
