I’m so glad Laura Eno, Brinda Berry, and Ciara Knight agreed to cohost this bloghop with me. Chocolate makes the galaxy go round. :D Visit the other chocolate lovers and enjoy the party. All the links are HERE
Chocolate is more valuable than gold in the Backworlds series. Although it can mean vast wealth in my universe, mostly it brings vast troubles.
I’m glad those issues don’t exist on present-day Earth. I do enjoy good chocolate. The best I’ve ever tasted is made by a local chocolatier. Every piece sold at Pegasus Chocolate is hand made. It costs more than a chocolate bar from a grocery store, but they’re treats well worth it.
I usually opt for the dark chocolate and licorice bonbons, but enjoy all of their decadent offerings. There honestly isn’t a bad choice. Not one.
I enjoy a piece of chocolate most in the late afternoon. Just one of these incredible chocolates is enough. Fabulous with a cup of iced decaf. I do nothing else but slowly enjoy the taste of the chocolate, taking small bites, shutting out the rest of the world. Mmm. I just had the white chocolate with salted almonds inside. OMG. Normally, I don’t like white chocolate. See, not one bad choice.
The research for this post was a true hardship … not. Now go visit all the other chocolate fans. You’ll find them HERE This is a blog hop!
The fabulous and talented Leigh T. Moore releases her first novel. Congrats to Leigh!
The Truth About Faking
Harley just wants a date with Trent.
Trent’s still getting over Stephanie.When Harley and Jason decide to fake date, they uncover a school of deceptions. Trent’s got a secret, but so does Jason. And the more time Harley spends secretly kissing her fake boyfriend, the further she gets from her dreams with Trent.
Worst of all, Harley’s mom is getting cozy with her hot massage therapy student, and even Harley’s Reverend Dad can’t fake not being bothered by it. But when the masks finally come off, can everyone handle the real truth?
Available from Amazon / Kobo / B&N
Yay for Leigh.

Oh I am so going to be craving chocolate by the end of the day LOL! Those chocolates look amazing!
That’s a very nice picture of the chocolates in a box. Must be hard to choose just one to nibble on!
Oooohh those look really yum. More than I’m allowed to enjoy on my current diet. ;-)
Hi Mary – they sound delicious .. can’t quite get my head round liquorice bonbons and chocolate though … the chocco blogfest will be fun – cheers Hilary
There’s something amazing about expensive chocolate. The taste fills you up and you don’t need another one. Whereas the cheaper ones just make you want to eat more and more until the whole box is gone.
That picture makes me want to go and buy something expensive!
Those chocolates look delicious. I was tempted to lick the screen :)
This blogfest was right up your alley, Mary!
And congratulations to Leigh.
What a fun idea!
I planned to participate, but it didn’t hit my brain’s ACK ATTACK list until I saw the posts this morning.
No fair. Today was supposed to be a non-workout-day, and I know I won’t be able to resist the choco-heaven teasers when I check out at the Grocery Store with my ho-hum yogurt.
Thank you for hosting one of the most delicious blog hops ever :) Congratulations Leigh!
“The research for this post was a true hardship … not.”
You funny!
And I got the biggest tickle out of you making Chocolate such a “character” in your Backworlds book!
We have a wonderful hand-made chocolate shop not too far from here: Schimpff’s. Chocolate-covered orange peel. Mmmmm….
i’m glad too! i’m learning some new chocolaty facts!
thanks!
mmm, chocolate!
These look amazing! Thank you for sharing, now I want to indulge. All the chocolate is gone in my house, for now. Guess I will go make some Hot chocolate, before the day heats up. Fun blogfest….but now I am craving this mood altering food. I think the tip of the Food Pyramid should be chocolate ;D
Congrats to Leigh! :D
What a yummy pic of chocolates!!!
Congrats to Leigh! I’ll be checking that book out.
Thanks for hosting this blogfest. :D
It is so true, when you get really good chocolate just one is all you need. I use to always choose dark chocolate, but lately I’ve been preferring milk chocolate.
I am really enjoying hopping from blog to blog and learning about so many different treats. I had never heard about licorice bonbons. I love licorice, so I may have to try one. I agree that there is something amazing about a piece of really good chocolate and a cup of coffee. Sometimes that is my afternoon treat.
I love the premise of your book! Definitely intrigued. Great idea about this Chocolate Blog hop, definitely a eye catcher! Great post.
Those chocolates look wonderful! It’s so nice to have a local chocolatier, even if the prices can be a bit dear.
I’m not sure I would like licorice bonbons, but I’m certainly willing to risk my palette to find out.
I’m glad most of that box is in my desk drawer, Kyra.
It is, Cynthia.
They’re so good, Misha.
Oh, they’re so delicious, Hilary.
It is amazing, Annalisa.
lol Shelley
It is, Alex.
Maybe they have chocolate yogurt, Gloria.
Thanks for partying with us, Marta.
I feel that was a flash of brilliance, Loretta. lol
Mmmm, Marian
Chocolate learning? Fab, Tara.
Sounds like an emergency, Ella
Thanks for stopping in, Jackie
One really good piece of chocolate is enough, Southpaw
I can’t wait to get at it, Maryann. Still recovering from a weekend of astronomer’s hours
Thanks, Hildie.
It’s worth supporting them, Carrie-Anne.
I like to have chocolate with a cup of coffee for a treat. Also good with a glass of sherry later in the evening. There’s something about coffee and chocolate that merges well.
Thanks for being a host of this blogfest, Mary. And I already follow you so I get my astronomy updates . . .
I like the idea that chocolate is more valuable than gold. That’s clever, Mary.
I love a hint of salt with chocolate. I never thought I would, but once I tried it I see why people love it.
Although I have more self-control than I had in the past, I know that box would not last long in my house. I love the idea of chocolate as currency. In this world, I’ve eaten chocolates with edible gold in them.
The blogosphere has been invaded and is now a chocosphere… lol
During this blogfest, I suspect that lots of good intentions with regards to “chocolate-eating habits” will be down the drain…
A great blog hop – thanks Mary.
Without samples, this was a very cruel blogfest to inflict on the rest of us. That’s all I’m saying. I’ve been craving chocolate all day. :))
I want to go to there. It sounds like heaven!
Congrats to Leigh! And those chocolates sound divine. I love to go to Leonidas here in Chicago and get their Champagne truffles. Talk about heaven!
MPax chocolate can be a powerful motivator. Congrats to Leigh!
Astronomy will be Friday this week, DG. Coffee and chocolate do seem a natural combo.
I got the idea from watching the history of coffee, Michael.
I know what you mean, Michelle. I’m intensely hungry right now and it’s not even lunch time here.
I’m tempted to break into my stash, LG. It’s been a mouth-watering one.
It is heaven, Libby. And the Austrian couple who makes the chocolates are so cute. I always enjoy visiting them.
Those sound good Melissa. I went to a winery in Ontario once and had ice wine truffles. Awesome.
Oh, those chocolates look positively perfect! I may have to take a little trip to Oregon to get some!
It most certainly can, Maurice.
You won’t be sorry, Sherry.
Congrats to Leigh. And I thought it was so appropriate that in The Backworlds chocolate was a super-precious commodity. It already is on earth, but can you imagine how hard it might be to import if you lived on another faraway planet?!
Those look delicious! I love visiting local chocolate shops when visiting new towns. There’s one here that makes fabulous fudge.
You almost had me convinced to find a chocolatier… Almost…
I have to say that it’s often those little local places that do some of the best chocolates. Learning to make my own is on my future to do list. And a little chocolate in the afternoon is just awesome….
LOL! This chocolate post and all the following ideas for chocolate treats is making my inner chocoholic go craaazy!!! LOL! THANK YOU so much for featuring me here today in the middle of all this chocolate love. ((squeeze)) It’s a very lovey book, so perhaps it goes well with a nice piece of chocolate. Probably milk. ;o)
I prefer dark chocolate and with a good cup of coffee like one of the commentators said. Mmmm… now I’ve got to go sneak a treat. Wish we had a Pegasus nearby here! <3
Thanks again! You're the BEST~ :o)
P.S.
And thanks to the commentators for all the congratulations! I hope you like my book! :o) <3
My mouth is watering….
When it comes to randomly choosing chocolates from a box, I usually pick the gross ones. Fate. Destiny. Choco Karma.
Sounds like we’re practically neighbors here in Oregon – well, neighbors with a mountain range between us. ;) The chocolates in your photo look heavenly. I love handmade artisan chocolates. So worth the extra money in my opinion.
Oh man. You posted PICTURES!!!!!! No fair. Now I’m REALLY craving these. :)
Mmm, that chocolate looks good! And I love the name of the store!
That box of chocolates looks so delicious.
I must have that nutty chocolate in the bottom corner. Okay? Thanks. Now…I haven’t heard of that chocolatier before. Cool! Also, Leigh’s book sounds so great. I am going to sidetrack over to Goodreads where I can add it to my TBR.
That gourmet chocolate looks so delicious… I’ve recently discovered chocolate with salt… yum.
And it’s not an easy plant to grow, Catherine.
Mmm, locally made chocolates are awesome, Christine.
I hope mine stays around a long time, Capillary
It’s worth finding those little treasures, Crystal, and supporting them.
You’re most welcome, Leigh. I prefer dark chocolate, too.
You’re buying the wrong boxes of chocolate then, Jay. :)
That big range to the west? Great meeting another Oregonian, Tami.
Sorry, Lynn. Come over and have one.
It is a great name, Cherie.
Tastes better than it looks, Susan. I had a milk chocolate with a dark chocolate center truffle today. Awesome.
That is delicious, Tania.
I can feel my waist growing fatter by the minute with all this chocolate going around. Wish I had some:)
I love this blogfest, but thankfully it’s not making me crave chocolate as badly as I thought. Maybe ’cause I know I have some waiting at home. :)
That chocolate of yours sure looks good! My website is down at the moment (facepalm) so I’m sucking up the chocolate on yours. :)
It’s been so amazing talking about chocolate today with all our blogging friends. You are my last stop. Woot! Such a blast.
Yeah, I’ll be needing some good workouts this week, Gwen.
I hate when mine goes down, Laura. Hope it’s back up soon.
It’s been a great party. Thanks for helping making it a success, Ciara.
I’m soo craving some decadent chocolate now! Rawr!!!
Great premise for the story. I don’t like the chocolates that have a surprise in the center. They are terrifying to me. I generally pass on them even if there is a little key that says what is what. Too risky.
Oh, my! Next time we get to Oregon (may be a while, since we live in Pennsylvania), I’m going to have to check out that chocolate shop! (If you ever get out to Bethlehem, PA, I recommend checking out Tallarico’s Chocolates. Same local flavor, and smaller than Josh Early’s.)
I am impressed at your willpower, stopping with just one!
Thanks for co-hosting this blog hop. What a wonderful idea!
White chocolate with almonds . . .mmmm. That sounds delicious.
And love the sound of that book.
I’ve never heard of licorice bonbons! See I learn something new all the time.
Congratulations to Leigh! That’s a great title for a novel, definitely going to check that out.
I’ve been reading some of these chocolate posts all morning and I’m dying to pig out on every kind of chocolate there is now. This blogfest was definitely bad for my waistline LOL.
These chocolate images made me go mhmmmmmm….Temptress , most enchanting, voluptuous and tasty, chocolat keeps me dazed and happy. Sorry, I missed the bloghop, I have missed a lot of things this month. I’ll still post one pic tomo if you don’t mind. Congrats to Leigh, she was your editor right?
Gave me cravings something fierce, Trisha.
I was yesterday, Lynda.
From a chocolatier, they can surprise me all they want, Tonja. But normally I don’t enjoy the surprises either.
Hi Erin! I’ve been to Bethlehem. A good college friend of mine lives there.
It sure was yummy, Tyrean.
I hadn’t either, but I’m glad I found them, Lee. I love licorice, too.
It made me very hungry yesterday morning, Julie.
Yes, Leigh is my editor. She edited Backworlds and just edited The Renaissance of Hetty Locklear … I’m working on it now. Should be done soon … I hope. Get to work me!
Those pictures made my mouth water. I love milk chocolate, although I do crave for dark chocolate every now and then :)

Congrats, Leigh.
Those chocolates look heavenly.
Thanks again everybody! I was in a chocolate coma, so I just made it back over… LOL! Hope you like my book~ <3 :o)
